Question

What literary language has this text:

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 any side you please, as I was just telling you. If there was a horse race, you’d find him flush,
or you’d find him busted at the end of it; if there was a dogfight, he’d bet on it; if there was a cat-fight, he’d bet on it; if there was a chicken-fight, he’d bet on it; why, if there was two birds setting on a fence, he would bet you which one would fly first; or if there was a camp meeting, he would be there reg’la

Umm, do you have choices? or did it get cut off?

Answer 2

the thing is that i need to know what language he uses in this paragraph

Answer 3

Well, do you know what kind of literary languages you learned in the unit?

Answer 4

well actually it says in the instructions "categorize the nature of the language that is used in the excerpt you have selected. Is it descriptive? Does it invoke the reader’s senses? Or, is it more clinical and dry? Isolate the specific details of the text that point you to your conclusions and record them in box"

Answer 5

This is dialect, specifically American Southern dialect. Use of the word Solit'ry, feller'd, etc, which aren't grammatically correct but are used in southern speech indicate that this is meant to be informal. The language elicits the image of a country-bumpkin in a straw hat, wearing overalls.
