Due to my new corduroy jacket it seems only fitting to write a chapter of a new hip textbook that would encourage the students sampling the book to grasp the ideas presented. Among other reasons the ability to use fanciful diction such as “juxtaposition,” and “poststructural,” can allow me the freedom of expounding upon the subject matter.
Modernism is one of the literary movement which has caught my eye as it has illuminated in me an interesting approach to story telling. With modernism ther are a variety of ways to express oneself and one of the most appealing parts of modernism is the allowance of the reader to figure out the morals and characterization of the plot. Interestingly enough this happens to be my favorite form of literary expression. Through reading only but a few of the modernist writers the perspectives and ideas that each reader can come up with are as unique as the pieces themselves. After having our in class discussions I was able to see for myself the different vantage points and perspectives that people have on others and it is interesting to note that more often than not disagreement ensued.
In order to instruct and teach new students reading their hip new textbook about modernism seems like a challenge and one that I have so deemed worthy of accomplishing. Engaging students and making modernism appeal and attract to them is the main goal all the while helping them recognize modernisms many qualities. Modernism allows the reader flexibility as to the meanings derived from its text which in turn allows those such as students the opportunity to expand upon their own perspectives and allows them to analyze and decide for themselves morals and meaning that each modernist piece offers.

ReplyDeleteI like it. Please let me know if you need any resources about Modernism to help with the textbook chapter. I think it would be good to start thinking about three writers who would be good examples of Modernism. Eliot of course springs to mind. Perhaps an Imagist as well? Stevens would work nicely, as might Chandler. O'Connor and Welty might work, though you'd have to do some convincing to make them fit in the chapter. But including one of those fiction writers could make for a very interesting essay.
This sounds good. I look forward to reading it.
