MAPLAN

I plan to do a prezi and include various pictures and maybe a video if I can find one. I will also include lots of information about events that occured throughout my author's life. (My author is Ernest Hemingway) :)

I AM ERNEST HEMMINGWAY

1) I went to war during WW1 to be an ambulance driver in the Italian army and returned home shortly after. My experiences led me to write some new pieces of literature.

2) While on a safari in Africa, I almost died, but was seriously injured in two plane crashes.

3) I won a Nobel prize in October of 1954, but I really don't think I deserve it.   :(

4) While in the Italian army during WW1, I was issued the Italian Silver Medal of Bravery.

5) I was present in WW2 at the D-Day landing. (interesting...)

Literature Analysis: Spring Semester #2

The Furies of Calderon
             -by Jim Butcher

Okay, so, the book I read is called the Furies of Calderon and it is by the author, Jim Butcher.

Modernist Essay

The stories and poems we have read in class are considered modernism. Modernism is a time period from the early 1900s to 1965. Fahrenheit 451 is consedered a Modernist novel because it has a lot of Imagery in it such as the fire hose being described as a serpent. Imagists were the kind of people who don't want syntax. They only want to focus on the thing itself or the image. Richard cory is considered a modernist poem because it has deceptive appearances hiding difficult truths, as said in our lecture. In comparison to Fahrenheit 451, Richard cory, too, has allusions and imagery such as the line, "Clean favored and imperially slim." You can actually imagine how this "character" in the poem might look like. :D  The First Seven Years is considered modernist because in the short story, a girl's parents wanted her to go off with a boy that she doesn't want to be with. This scene in the story ties to modernism based upon the idea of difficult truths and also departure from tradition when she doesn't see the boy again....

Modernism

My writing, I think,  is different now than it was five years ago because  I use more vocabulary words than I did five years ago. I mostly use them to  critisize people, but at least my vocabulary has increased! :D  I'm not sure how the world has affected me and my writing... I just noticed my vocabulary.
