Taking into account the statement above: "Read this excerpt from Hamlin Garland's "The Return of a Private":"I hope to God it will! I bet I've chawed hardtack enough to shingle every house in the coolly. I've chawed it when my lampers was down, and when they wasn't. I've took it dry, soaked, and mashed. I've had it wormy, musty, sour, and blue-mouldy. I've had it in little bits and big bits; 'fore coffee an' after coffee."This excerpt is an example of __________"

The answer is: dialect.

This is an example of when the authors write a character talking as they pronounce the words. There are few or some author's that don't do that; there are situations in which authors say that if they write in their native language, anyone could understand it.

Chawed sounds like it it might mean chewed, or eaten, in this person's dialect. Lampers, I have no idea what that is, or coolly but it's obviously slang.

Can someone fix the grammar and the punctuation of the sentence plz
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

I like that the film version tells the story better for Jim Valentine because in the film we can get a better idea of what the characters look like. The film version gives us something that we can’t experience in a book like emotions and facial expressions. For example, when the character is in a sad scene you can’t see how they react in a book but the film, you can see how they react. Also the picture of the setting we can hear how the music goes. With the play, the lighting will get darker and in the emotional scenes and get brighter and a happy scene. The scenes are best portrayed in the film. In the text, you can't hear their tone or you can’t see the setting or the characteristics of the character. In conclusion, the film version is better at telling the story of Jim Valentine because it gives us a better picture of the story.

i hope this helps i revised it a bit added puctuations comas and fixed run on sentences
