Favorite Literary Movement

My favorite literary movement? Hmmmmmmm, this is a tough choice... I'd say my favorite would have to be realism. It tells it how it is, no beating around the bush or anything. By examining the realities of life and shining a light on human frailty, it shows us what's really happening in the world, outside of our little bubble. The realism novel that I read this year was Huck Finn, and I loved it. It was one of my favorite school books that I've ever read, and I'm just now realizing that this is because it was a realism novel rather than that other romanticism or naturalism stuff that we usually read in school. Twain cut to the chase about what was wrong with society, and continually pointed this out throughout the whole novel. The added regional culture of my beloved rural south added to the novel's awesomeness; as a matter of fact, any kind of regional culture that is added to a novel makes realism pretty neat. Out of all the literary movements we've covered this year, realism was by far the best one.
