On ONE of the numbered topics below. If you use sources in your response (even those I have provided for you), be sure to cite them, using MLA format. Quotations from the textbook require only a page number. You should choose different poems or short stories than those you used in your reading responses for Volume D. The three examples should be by different authors. All stories and poems must come from Volume D of the textbook.
The first page number is for the 7th edition; the second is from the 8th.
To prepare for the midterm, you will need to read the introduction to Volume D, "American Literature Between the Wars: 1914-1945," especially the following sections: "American Versions of Modernism" (1184-87) (D: 13-16) and "Modernism Abroad and On Native Grounds" (1187-89) (D: 16-18). Here’s another useful website:
Outline of American Literature: "Modernism and Experimentation: 1914-45.
The midterm will require you to apply ideas from the introduction (and/or the website above) to specific short stories (fiction) or poems written during this time period (1914-1945).
� You may choose short stories or poems by the writers that I assigned for the reading responses, as long as you choose different poems or short stories (fiction) than you chose for your reading responses.
� Here are a few of the writers (from Volume D) I would have included in the course if there had been more time: Amy Lowell (imagist poet-1349) (D: 191), Wallace Stevens (poet-1439) (D: 281), T. S. Eliot (poet-1574) (D: 365), E. E. Cummings (poet-1807) (D: 636), John Dos Passos (fiction writer-1853) (D: 690), Ernest Hemingway (fiction writer-1980) (D: 824), Thomas Wolfe (fiction writer-2001) (D: 843), John Steinbeck (fiction writer-2049 (D: 881).
� To help you choose, you may find it useful to read the biographical introductions to the writers since most of these introductions discuss the author’s work in a general way.
� Although you may use authors that we have already discussed, reading other authors is a good way to expand your knowledge and create original responses.
� All reading selections must come from Volume D.
The paper should be in essay form with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion (not a collection of reading responses–no sub-headings).
You should use quotations from the reading selections as support for your general ideas. Your examples must show that you have read the literature that you are discussing, not just the author’s biography.
Do not use long poems or novels as examples, since I want you to discuss the reading selections specifically, not just a short part of a longer work. For example, The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot is a good example of modernism, but it is a very long poem. If you want to write about Eliot, you should choose a shorter work or specify a particular part of The Waste Land and focus on it.
A brief overview of the poem or story isn’t adequate. Again, you must show that you read the selection (poem or story) carefully.
