Question

In at least 150 words, and using examples from "Tennessee's Partner," explain how Harte uses local color to depict life

in the West.​

Answer 1

Harte uses the setting as a main element in the story for transforming the vast land into character. Most local colour stories are used to emphasise on the nature and its elements. The land is depicted as remote in nature and is unique in its description. The setting of the story is very distinct depicting its themes and ideas and the essentials of the story. It captures the description of the typical conversation of the entire story.
