Welcome to a new year! I hope that this semester is as exciting as the last!
Yes, we already dove head first in the material! Make sure that you stay on top of your journaling this semester.
Remember that as we go along in this course, try to apply some of the readings to your own life. Literature is amazing because it teaches life lessons! We can learn so much through the written word, and I can only hope that you will learn to have a love and appreciation for it.
Today we considered the impact of literature during the time of the Great War, the Great Depression, and the roaring twenties. How did various inventions change the way of life for the American people? How might war have changed literature? We are entering the Modern Era of American literature. Why is it called the Modern Era?
For tonight’s homework, read pages 716-720. This is a fairly hard piece, but reread it if necessary. Consider what the work is about. What is the deeper meaning behind the text. Why would Eliot write such a poem? Make sure that you journal on this piece.
