Paragraph:
Well realism happened at the end of the Civil War, and war is brutal as it is without it being in your front yard. That plus around the time realism became really astablished was during the industerial revolution; people, families moving away both themes painful. Wouldn't you want someone to take a record of what was beening lost? Realism by definition means: 'the representation in art or literature of objects, actions, or social conditions as they actually are, without idealization or presentation in abstract form' (thefreedictionary.com)"The writing during this period was also very regional. The industrial revolution called for standardization, mass production of goods and streamlined channels of distribution. America was leaping into a new modern age and people feared that local folkways and traditions would be soon forgotten. Responding to these sentiments, realistic writers set their stories in specific American regions, rushing to capture the "local color" before it was lost.'(citation1). Local color means the same as customs.'They drew upon the sometimes grim realities of everyday life, showing the breakdown of traditional values and the growing plight of the new urban poor. American realists built their plots and characters around people's ordinary, everyday lives. Additionally, their works contained regional dialects and extensive dialogue which connected well with the public. As a result, readers were attracted to the realists because they saw their own struggles in print.' (citation 1)
