#2 world war 1 had the greatest influence on writers of the __ literary movement.
Lena [83]
modernist
world war 1 had the greatest influence on writers of the modernist literary movement.  The term must be understood n its philosophical context.  In this context, modernism is everything new, unexplored, untouched and never tried before. Matisse, Ellison, and others artists represent the movement under their own specialty.
musical and literary talent
the Harlem Renaissance was a rebirth of the musical and literary talent of the African American community. Named after the anthology of Alain Locke "The Negro Movement" of 1925, the Harlem Renaissance is a cultural and social movement that aimed to rediscover black culture and give voice to a society that was underlined.
Ralph Ellison 
Both Langston Hughes and Ralph Ellison wrote about the inequality of African Americans during the modernist literary period. The modernist movement had a very self-conscious view of the society, and so the inequality was perceived as something to fix and denounce like many writers did in their work, in order to have an impact over the culture.
less traditional 
in the 1960s poetry became less traditional. All the rules about poetry were erased at the beginning of a movement that rejected everything that existed before, in response to the fast change of a new society on the rise and as a wake-up call towards a society that had produced the devastation of the world war II.
they rejected the literary
The beat generation rejected the literary because they thought that literacy was part of a society that was no more existing. The beat generation wanted to express itself in a free and unconventional way, following their own intuition and creativity, instead of a set of rules imposed by previous and often perceived as old canonic standards.

When Achilles was nine years old, it was prophesied that he would die in battle as a hero against the Trojans, and even though his mother did her best to avert this prophecy, Achilles chose to go for glory, even though he knew it would cost him his life.
