Dr. Brown was gone this Wednesday and Friday, but she did leave us an assignment. We are to choose one of the stories we read by Twain or Harte and explain in detail how it reflects Realism. She said it should be only 250-325 words so it shouldn't be too difficult. We also have to read " The White Swan" for Monday. Pop quiz is coming for sure, so be prepared.
By the way, I have to say that The White Swan really didn't do anything for me. I could identify with Harte's writing because I met people that he wrote about when I was growing up and I really liked Roughing It! by Twain, but I could not identify with the characters in this story. I am sure Dr. Brown will enlighten me.
