Name the character:  This character muses on the naturalistic view of the absurdity of the human condition. Nature is completely indifferent to the existence of human beings, who have no importance in the universe as this character recognizes when he faces drowning in the Atlantic Ocean. He is the one whose thoughts are given in the story.

Identify the title for the quote: “…..he was the curiousest man about always betting on anything that turned up you ever see, if he could get anybody to bet on the other side; and if he couldn’t he’d change sides. Any way that suited the other man would suit him—any way just so’s he got a bet, he was satisfied. But still he was lucky, uncommon lucky; he most always come out winner. He was always ready and laying for a chance; there couldn’t be no solit’ry thing mentioned but that feller’d offer to bet on it, and take ary side you please, as I was just telling you.”

Name the author: Often considered a Naturalistic writer, this author’s conception of Realism—he called it “veritism” in Crumbling Idols (1894)—entailed an allegiance to the accurate representation of outer surfaces, however grim, and inner truths, however somber. The author connected the literary practice of Realism with a commitment to social justice. He believed in the responsibility of a writer to act as a responsible and compassionate member of a greater community. He often wrote about the mid-west and prairie with characters who lived on the land with all the struggles nature can bring along with the unfairness of economic society. His hard-working characters faced both but were usually beaten down by nature and unfair economic practices.

Identify the literary trend: After the earlier trend to focus on the middle-class and the ordinary, this trend goes further in the last decade of the nineteenth century. It focuses on human beings as being controlled by heredity and environment. The characters are often violent in some way and are primitive. In this view, the universe is totally indifferent to the presence of humanity.

What is the title for the quote? “As we have proved our loyalty to you in the past, in nursing your children, watching by the sick-bed of your mothers and fathers, and often following them with tear-dimmed eyes to their graves, so in the future, in our humble way, we shall stand by you with a devotion that no foreigner can approach, ready to lay down our lives, if need be, in defence of yours, interlacing our industrial, commercial, civil, and religious life with yours in a way that shall make the interests of both races one.”  

Name the title for the quote: “Before the next morning he had spread the story of Adoniram Penn’s wife moving into the new barn all over the little village. Men assembled in the store and talked it over, women with shawls over their heads scuttled into each other’s houses before their work was done. Any deviation from the ordinary course of life in this quiet town was enough to stop all progress in it. Everybody paused to look at the staid, independent figure on the side track. There was a difference of opinion with regard to her. Some held her to be insane; some, of lawless and rebellious spirit.”
