Applied Modernism

Modernism

Modernism is the breaking away from classical tradition of literary forms to something different than anyone has read before in the 1900's. In Fahrenheit 451 written by Ray Bradbury is a modernism novel because of the vision of the future and the inner self conflict that Montag faces in the story.

Modernist

My writing in this modern moment would be different from 5 years ago because of the way we use words. Now we have new slave words and back in the day the words we use now are different than what they were 5 years ago.

My Modernist

George Bernard Shaw is the poet that I choose because he cared for woman's rights which shows that he respects women. I would also choose him because when he won the Nobel Prize for literature he did not take the money which shows that he just likes to write.

The First 7 Years

In the beginning of the story I did not think that it was going to be about love. I thought it was going to be about shoes. As the story continued I thought it was interesting because the shoemaker constantly wanted Max to marry his daughter and did not change his mind throughout it. When he has the heart attack I thought that he would keep his word and not go back I work. When he returned and saw the assistant working he had no choice but to accept what was going to happen.
