In my opinion, this period of American literature is more innovative and rebellious. They're more focused on dystopians, and the writing style is less flowy, and more focused. Personally, I'm noticing a lot more acknowledgement of problems in society within books, seemingly because the internet has become a daily convenience and there's no more use banning books if it's message is probably going to get published somewhere else anyways. I like the is new period of writing, because ideas aren't being pushed back anymore.

Explanation: "But my assurance was ill-founded, for, in spite of all my coaxing, Nab only circled around and around me until I was dizzy trying to keep track of him."
For is conjunction; any conjunctions after an independent clause are fine.
"Nab suddenly made a dash so close that his flippers brushed my side. He snapped the fish out of my hand, and in the same instant he was again beyond reach."
There needs to be a comma after "instant" so that it would make an independent clause after it.
"By this time I had begun to feel pretty well exhausted, and when I suddenly thought of the undertow, I decided to swim back."
A comma should be placed after "time" to make an independent clause after.

A ten-line poem.
Explanation:
Sitting in the park, seeing swaying trees,
gazing at the flowers and hearing the buzzing bees.
Adoring nature, this is what I like,
as it is better than going on a hike.
The children are shouting; squirrels climbing the bark,
Oh! See there! The ball missed the mark!
On one side, I hear the sounds of hooray!
While on the other side, I sensed dismay.
As the sun reached the horizon, I stood to make my way.
And, in this way, ended my dim day.
