Regionalism & Mark Twain

 

Mark Twain intentionally to make those writing mistakes for the purpose of writing it as a representative of Regionalism. His spelling and grammar mistakes sometimes emphasis the accent of the speaker, or creating the actually sound that the speaker was making when they say certain words, so that the reader would be able to picture the kind of person the speaker is through their speaking style. I think he chose to write in this style so that the reader knows exactly what he is trying to say, because reading the passage is just like normal conversation that everyone has in their daily lives.

Bret Harte was an American writer who started the new movement in writings, called the Regionalism. Regionalism is basically a style of writing, which the author kind of fertilize the special characteristics of a specific area that they are writing about. These characteristics may include the region's culture, language, tradition, and even small things like how they walk. Mark Twain showed Regionalism in his writings by having some mistakes in his writings that were "local colors" of the actually people in the regions.

Religionalism story: (unfinished)

"Ilha Formosa, Taiwan will touch your heart." As the song keeps going on, people might actually think that Taiwan will touch your heart, but is Taiwan actually "one" nation? Not everyone around the world thinks it is even a nation, certainly, some Taiwanese do not even think it is "a" nation. I went on and contacted a good friend of my grandma. He got that really white beard that he never shaved, that bald head which never grow, and that " fish-tail print" which would be a print that would always chase after those half-moon eyes.

 

Summary: a story of a battle between the city of "Diaba" and "Gahyun". Competing who has the best Taiwanese accent, which the two are quite different. This is when Taiwanese drama got evolved in the battle. Taiwanese drama has basically become the official scale factor of Taiwanese accent. A TRUE dictionary of all Taiwanese words.
