Nina Phan 01/17/13 Period 2 British imperialism in India had many positive and negative effects on the mother country, Britain, and the colony, India.

The Tale of Two Men The story The Wife of His Youth written by Charles Chesnutt and the story The Gilded Six-Bits written by Zora Neale Hurston can easily be compared to one another. Chesnutt and Bonner both use “local color” in their writing styles which lets you know the dialect of the characters.
