No I don’t think that and I don’t talk to people in the classroom
i do bleive it had local color cuz they have sothern names thast honestly the only thing of local color i can find
I do not believe that this story has any local color in it except the names of the characters like what Merill had mentioned. The story didn\\\'t have the setting, theme, or characters of local story.
yes i think there is local color because of the way they were thinking and that seems to be a local color i agree with the others also
I do not think that this story reflected local color. It didn't really characterize the region they were in. It was mainly about the individual characters themselves. I agree with everyone who believes that there was no local color because that is my opinion.
I do believe that "Story of an Hour" is a story of local color literature. The setting was a widowed woman (so she thought) in an inaccessible region. The region is inaccessible because we don't know where it was, but if you paid attention to the dialect you would have notice that the author used some southern words one of which is "yonder" which means being more distant of farther "over there". Using this dialect places the region in the south. Other then this nothing really happens in the story, the story focuses on Mrs. Mallard. The Narrator in this story has the characteristics of a local color narrator. This really shows when the narrator tells you that someone is at the door (just before Mrs. Mallard throws herself off the stairs.) The Narrator quickly learns that the person at the door was Mr. Mallard. In a regular story the Narrator would have most likely used dramatic irony to tell you that Mr. Mallard was still alive, but using the narrator style in local color literature the fact that Mr. Mallard was still alive stayed a secret until the very last moment.
I do not agree with any of my classmates, none of them so far think that this story resembles Local Color Literature.
No. The lady in the story was once married and wasn’t a young girl.
(My brain is fried. That is all a con come up with) Emily Pray
I do not think the story has any local color in it. It was mostly about the characters and not the setting they were in.
I don't think the story had any local color. All it talked about was the lady and how she was bipolar about her husband dieing.
No I don’t think the story reflected Local Color Literature, because the story didn’t go into a lot of detail about the setting she was in. Also it had good descriptions and local color literature usually doesn’t have good descriptions. I agree with Jeffery on how the story didn’t characterize the region she was in.
i do not believe that the story had any local color because it did not even tell us where she was and it did not did not describe what kind of character she was. also it really only told us that her husband died she cried then got happy because her husband died then he came home and surprised her
i agree taylor Drury
I agree with the others I do not really think there was any local color the story just talked about her and her husband dieing
I think that it did have something to do with Local color but not to much. There was a main character and it didn't sound like it was set in the south. I agree with Thomas and everyone else that says that it really doesn't have much to do with local color.
I do not think this story has any local color in it, because it didnt really describe the characters. I agree with some of the other class mates like HACKBARTH!
I do not think that this story had local color. A reason why is because it was mostly is about the characters and not the setting they were in.
I do not think that this story reflected local color. It did not show character in the region they were in. It was mainly about the individual characters themselves. It had more to do with realism and nothing about local color. I agree with everyone who thinks that there was no local color because there really was none from what I read.
To tell you the truth, i had absolutely no idea what this is about
because ppl are saying no... maybe i should say no too.
I don't think the story reflected on local color cause there wasn't a lot of detail or description.
Mrs. Deadman its almost one in the morning and i have still not completed my project. is there anyway i can turn it in on monday?
I belive the story has local color. For example when she is in her room with the window open, looking at the top of trees, hearing birds, and girls singing this gives me the idea that she may be in the countryside. The relationship between the husband and wife seems to be the type of relationship where the husband is has more power. I agree with some of the things Zach mentions and bits and pieces of others.
Anyone in first hour who has not posted yet is late.
Anyone in 5th hour who has not posted by now is now late.
I dont belive it reflected local color it was more of a character story, following there lifes not the town or area they live in.
I agree with jeff
I don't think it reflected local color, because the story didn't have enough detail to justify local color
I believe that it doesn’t have any local color in it because it doesn’t explain a lot about the characters. I agree with Ryou cause he is sweet!
I believe that this story doesn't show local color because there is a lot about the characters that we don't know like how they or what they eat and things of that nature and i agree with tyler
