We read 2 articles about modernism today and sorted characteristics of this literary style into a graphic organizer. A link to "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" is available if you leave the mouse over ELA 11 Regents and then go to the short stories link.
Main point of today: Authors write to a certain literary STYLE. Their beliefs and values are often in the works that they write. Prominent literary styles arise through time, modernism being one of them. Modernism arose around the World War 1 Ear and through the Great Depression (1900-1940's). With World Wars 1 and 2, The Great Depression, and an increase in industrialism and culture, values and beliefs were questioned. If all of this bad stuff was happening, wouldn't you be questioning?? Wouldn't you be wanting a CHANGE? Modernists wrote their literature to change the way society was. Modernism = force of change
