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.
the answer is B. i just had this question on my text lol
Everyone faces challenges of different sorts in one’s life. I too had to face many challenges. One of them was my desire to win gold medal for school in inter-school athletic meet. I had tried many times but to no avail .
I clearly remember the defeat in the final 100 meter race last year during the inter-school athletic meet. I had to face lots of embarrassment and shame for not being able to win the gold medal for my school!
I had resolved that I would win the medal at any cost in the next year’s championship. So I had trained very hard. I did not miss any practice. I went on long runs to increase my stamina. I would sprint at the fastest speed possible. And out of my hard-work emerged fast running skills. The confidence to beat all my rivals grew stronger with each passing day.
And then the annual inter-school athletic meet arrived. The day I had to run, the entire stadium was packed to capacity. My teachers, principal, students, and my parents sat in the front rows to see me run to victory.
As I took position on the track, I was highly nervous. But then I calmed my mind. And then at the starting pistol I ran like bullet. I won the race with record time. I created a new national record in the 100 meter race. I was given standing ovation with thundering applause.
Receiving the gold medal from the Sports Minister I felt so proud and that is how I realized that courage and hope can help me overcome any major mishap or problem in life. If we hold on to our dreams and keep working hard for them, one day we will surely succeed
The theme of Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem "Helen Grey" is, beauty isn't everything. We know this to be true because the Rossetti describes Helen Grey as "handsome" and "proud" but also says "But so you miss that modest charm / Which is the surest charm of all." This shows the reader that Helen Grey is very attractive and takes pride in her attraction. However, she has let her beauty go to her head, resulting in an unpleasant personality that no man has found her attractive. The last four lines of the poem "Helen Grey" support the its main theme by drawing the reader's attention to the reality of age and time. Time will continue to go by causing Helen to grow old, wrinkly, and gray. Time will pass and with it, Helen's beauty shall pass too. If she does not change her ways, she will be left with and unattractive personality, and face.
