Of the answer choices, the one that has the best restatement of Macy's overall philosophical vision of American literature is:
A. American literature is not truly American because it is dominated by English influences.
- According to John Macy, American literature does not seem able to escape English influences.
- He acknowledges the existence of literary works that represent American reality, people, and dialects.
- However, Macy claims that American literature still lacks "<u>American quality</u>":
<em>"In the last century the </em><em>strongest thinkers </em><em>in our language were </em><em>Englishmen</em><em>, and not only the traditional but the contemporary </em><em>influences </em><em>on our thinkers and artists were </em><em>British</em><em>."</em>
<em>" But wherever an </em><em>English</em><em>-</em><em>speaking man </em><em>of imagination may dwell, in Dorset or Calcutta or Indianapolis, he is </em><em>subject </em><em>to the </em><em>strong arm </em><em>of the Empire of </em><em>English literature</em><em>."</em>
- Therefore, the best option to restate Macy's vision is letter A.

<h3>I know this isn't 100 words but i think it'll help you a little </h3>
Seeing how their "movements" were different, I could see the Rousseau was more focused on logic and reason, while Blake was more focused on being creative with feelings and passions, challenging the norm
An introductory paragraph must and must not contain these things:
Must-
1. Hook/Grabber - Interesting fact, rhetorical question (not recommended), statistic, or just anything (in this case) relating to what your essay is going to talk about that may make the reader more interested. I suggest that you try and make this a little more interesting, such as something relating to Elie and the holocaust to keep the reader interested.
2. Overview of Support - Write what you will further explain in the next paragraphs so that the reader actually knows what they're getting into. It is vital for any article or essay because it helped ease into the writing without any confusion. You should also include shortened reasoning of why your statement is correct/to justify your claim.
Must Not-
1. Very long, dragged out sentences - This will obviously bore the reader. Long and dragged out/descriptive intros will make the reader disinterested and possibly just outright explain what the entire essay is about, which is also a bad sign because it could be considered repetition (which, yes, consistency is key, but seeing the same thing over and over constantly may annoy the reader). You also want to avoid doing this because it takes up more time than it needs to -- remember this is just an introduction!
2. Anything off-topic or unrelated to what your essay/article is about - This means not talking about yourself (especially if it is an informative essay) or talking about your family and the Holocaust (as an example, but not accurate), (etc.) when that is not the main focus of the essay.
This is about all I can think of for now, if you have any further questions, please PM me. Hope I helped and good luck!
