Answer:

Post-Arthurian civilization

Explanation:

<em>The Buried Giant </em>is a fantasy novel authored by award winning writer Kazuo Ishiguro.

The novel, which is based on fantasy talks about an elderly British couple who live in post-Arthurian times where the people do not have long term memories.

The names of the British couple were Axl and Beatrice. They can't be sure but they think they have a son but can't remember what became of him so they go on a journey to find him. From the novel, Saxons and Britons lived in peace together.

Axl and Beatrice go on an adventurous journey on their way to finding their son. They encounter a man named Sir Gawain who they are told was tasked with killing the dragon Querig by King Arthur many years ago but failed.

A visiting Saxon warrior Wistan rescues a boy named Edwin from ogres and he follows Axl and Beatrice on their quest to find their son (and to locate the dragon Querig and kill it).

Wistan, Sir Gawain goes with Axl and Beatrice to Querig's lair. It was later discovered that Sir Gawain was not tasked with killing the dragon but protecting its life. Wistan and Sir Gawain have a duel, Wistan kills him and proceeds to slay the dragon, thereby restoring the peoples memories and re-igniting enmity between the Saxons and Britons.

Twain’s use of dialect in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn contributes to the realism of the story by making the settings and character more convincing  for the readers. By adding accurate social dialects into his story, Twain depicts a truthful vision of the souther society that fits the characters' backgrounds, the time period and the location. This is no exception in the case of Huck and Jim. Jim, in this novel, is a slave who is less educated than the average person; therefore, to make his character more believable to the readers, Jim's way of speaking uses slang, shortened words and improper grammar. This can be seen in phrases like "Whar is you?", "ag'in", "sumf'n", etc.

He was tall, gaunt, with a pale skin and sunken eyes the color of a kingfisher's wing, neither blue or green.
MrMuchimi

In literature, the term tone refers to the writer's attitude or feelings about the subject matter as well as towards the audience. Such tone is created by authors through the use of literary elements, such as diction( defined as  word choice),  syntax ( or the grammatical arrangement of words), imagery ( referred to the vivid appeals to the senses); details (related with facts that are either  included or omitted) and figurative language (which refers to  the comparison with apparently unrelated things.  

In the particular segment.. “He was tall, gaunt, with a pale skin and sunken eyes the color of a kingfisher's wing, neither blue nor green...” details and figurative languages seem to be used by the author as literary elements to express his/her attitude towards Kenny, which could be categorized as indifferent
