In an essay of at least 150 words, explain how the excerpt from "the revolt of 'mother'" uses local color

This book was published in the year of 1891. It was written by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, the story called "The Revolt of 'Mother" describes a part in the life of a woman living in the rural areas of New England. It is written from Sarah Penn point of view. This woman is having troubles with her husband's decision of building a new barn instead of a new home.

It is considered that this book depicts very well how the life of the lower-class people was like by those years; something that the author had demonstrated previously, in other of her works. The author achieves the mentioned effect by the use of local color to describe society roles of that time. In other words, it is the use of literary regionalisms which focuses on describing the custom of the people living in that specific region, in this case New England.
