Consider both hamlin garland's "the return of a private" and mark twain's "the notorious jumping frog of calaveras county" as works of regionalist fiction. in a response of at least two paragraphs, compare and contrast these stories as examples of regionalism. how are they similar? how are they different? be sure to include specific details and examples from both stories in your response.

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

we are given the following statement 'hawthorne thought of himself as a novelist' which is false.

the truth is that nathaniel hawthorne thought of himself as a romancer, rather than a novelist.
