Abstract

Reality is a powerful source of inspiration for writers in the 20th century. For Raymond Carver the American reality of the working class served as the main source of inspiration for his short stories that fall into the dirty – realism literary style. A technique that is representative for this current and that Carver subtly masters in his short stories is the insertion of objects into the narration, attributing them the value of reflecting the reality through familiar descriptions of the working class American society’s lifestyle.

It also assumed that more people are likely to give explanations for negative results than for good outcomes. This had to be proven through the study.

The second case study aimed at identifying whether attribution could be picked from the ...

Abstract
