Question

Answer 1

Answer:

1.

A. Characters are ordinary people speaking an authentic local dialect

2.

B then all of a sudden he would grab that other dog jest by the j'int of his hind leg and freeze to it

Explanation:

Realism is an artistic way of presenting ideas in a factual manner without any enhancements or exaggerations. Regionalism in this context is a story specific to a particular region or group of people. The story has elements of realism and regionalism because it tells of real people and animals.

The story teller uses a version of the English Language that is specific to a group of native speakers. This native and informal form of speaking is seen in the excerpt at number 2 where words and phrases such as Jest, J'int, and 'Freeze to it' are used.
