Consider what you have learned about american history during the period of 1860 to the early 1900s. how do the stories in the realism and regionalism unit reflect what was going on in the country then?

The period of 1860 to the early 1900 was a period where the human cost of the civil war in the United States was immense more than 2.3 soldiers fought in the war and perhaps as many as 851.000 people died in 1861-65.

The literature was presented as detailed and unembellished vision of the world as it  truly was. This was he essence of realism and the naturalism was intensified from of realism.

hmm, sadly there is no dialogue. there is no place in the story where he is talking to anyone. it's more of just describing what he eats and where he sleeps. you have to become anne frank, give details of where you are, what other folks look like, how the environment is. have a little bit of dialogue tell of what people are specifically saying. anne frank talked about her entire household including the people, the objects, the lighting, the food they ate, and even the smell in the air. there has to be more to your diary entries, the whole story in its current state is only about peter van daan, the food, the sounds, and where he sleeps. also he seems to be writing only once a year yet more than that happened from day to day. for a friend, i can you write it out, if you want.
