ENGLISHH PLZ HELP URGENT

Question

the lemon tree billiards house by Cedric Yamanaka was written in the 1990s, long after the American literary era of regionalism and realism was over. why might the writers of the unit 4 curriculum choose to include this story even tho it isn't from the time period the unit focuses on? find at least 2 reasons, use evidence from the story.

Answer 1

So Mimi,

What better examples of regionalism (set in Hawai'i, with local botany, and local slang) and realism (character drifts his way, with acute observation of his surroundings, into a high-stakes billiards contest) could you want?

And the "Help, plz urgent" -- that means, you are behind the 8-ball....?
