1/. I chose the jazz age, because I'm in to music. i love entertainment that speaks out to you. music reaches out to you in different kinds of ways; singing, rapping, blues, and instrumental.
every living thing has been using music, longer than we know it. humans been using music in many different ways; if you're mad, happy, or sad. Jazz represents modernism in an way because it's apart of black Americans culture. at that time they was using Jazz to show how they feel.
2/. the Jazz age:
by f. Scott Fitzgerald:
I read Myra meets his family. Myra was an "wonderful kid" when she was 17 or younger, that's what people called her. Myra was an intelligent lady who was now seeking for an husband but was to afraid to be involved in an relationship. "When she was sixteen she lived in a big house in Cleveland and attended derby school in Connecticut, and sense she was still there she started going to prep-school dances and college proms," she gad everything she ever wanted, or she could have gotten it.
3/.
a). Richard Corey by Edwin Arlington Robinson was an excellent story Richard was an slim out going, Wise man. he had everything he could ever wanted he was rich but it sounds like he was happy when he was around people but when he is to his self the true comes out that he is a very sad person, he was missing something in his life, son one night he shut his self in the head. "one calm summer night, went home and put a bullet through his head." this is a good example to the modernism because he shot his self, he actually freeing him self.
b). Mending wall by Robert frost was an all right poem. he's mainly talking about his neighbour how he would love to be in an relationship with her. "why do they make good neighbours?" and how he thinks someone on the other side he would like to meet before he build an wall. "something there is that doesn't love a wall, that wants it down."
c). a dream deferred: by Langston Hughes was all right i guess. i didn't really get what he was saying if you just read the poem; but i think he was talking about what happen in dreams. i get it but i was just looking for more out of it; "what happens to a dream deferred?"
d). the Negro speaks of rivers by Langston Hughes was a good poem and i can relate t that; i love the river, listing to it. it just cums you down. you can fall a sleep sitting be side the revers, water falls, and things like that. "my soul has grown deep like the rivers.
e). incident by Countee Cullen:
the incident poem was all right i don't like when that little boy call him a nigger. i would have got shot or something because knowing me i would go right over there and bet him up. "now i was eight and very small, and he was no whit bigger, and so i smiled, but he poked out his tongue, and called me, "nigger."
