Well there where several different issues during the Civil War era and Hawthorne begins the book with the idea of finding Utopia and making a difference in the world.
ReplyDeleteIt is the time period where mass media really started to "blossom", as it were. I don't think much but the style of writing reflects the time period.
ReplyDeletepoe is really creepy and romantism is kinda a renassiance type periord so they can have weird people writing about ripping a cats eye out.
ReplyDeleteI think The Outsiders represents a big part of my time period. Gangs, mobsters and groups like the mafia were a big part, and controlled pretty much everything for a while.
ReplyDeleteI think that the book I have gotten for my literary period is perfect for it. My literary period is around the time that slavery was abolished. In Mark Twains writing he uses slang, as the slaves did. I think that he opened a new kind of writing for authors.
ReplyDeletei think the book i have is very informative about ben franklin and just sums up his whole life basically.
ReplyDeletePoe was an awsome poet and an even better story teller. I think he was really disturbed.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Poe marryed his cousin.
ReplyDeletewell the book that i'm reading it captures what's going on in that time period really well from what i've read it's very descriptive.
ReplyDeleteReading The autobiography of benjimen franklin is tough because of the style of writing they had back in that time. The thoughts are little different too because they did not know as much about things that they do now.I think my book is perfect because its like the only real book I can read that is exaclty like how they talked and thought.
ReplyDeleteSince i have modernism, which is from 1910-1930, I'm reading the Great Gatsby. So far it goes into a little detail on the mass immagration in New York City, which is a major movement of that time.
ReplyDeletewell since i have the civil war era i chose a book by Nathaniel Hawthorne The Scarlet Letter but i'm not sure why it would relate to the time period unless they all went around and commited adultry but i'm not sure
