Preliminary links and Descriptions

http://wps.ablongman.com/long_longman_mylitlabdemo_1/24/6276/1606783.cw/index.html
This would be a just useful site for both a history lesson and a nice resource for literature, from the dates to the big events that happened all over the world, this timeline has all I need.

http://www.corcoran.org/modernism/index.htm
This site is based on the literature and the art of the Modern Era but takes it on a little bit of a diffrent angle which may be very useful in my research.

This online power point would be a great source as quick notes. It would teach me greatly about the history that has many points of view that would help greatly for my research.

This very detailed site would help out on any knowledge that one may need to know about modern literature. I find some of this information very useful.

What I want to know About my Topic

There are so much unknown knowledge to everyone out there on suck a broad subject. In this project I want to not focus of the "Modern Literature" but the ones that made Modern Literature possible. There is so many great stories are out there and so much of a variety, but it seems as if no one takes the time to give them the full credit that they deserve. The main thing I want to be informed of is what made up the modern literature years. I would also want to know how there lives might have came into their novels, who was the best know author during this time, did the stories that were put out affect the ones that read them, what was that one thing that one may have found in every book they picked up, and who were the main one you might have seen not being able to put done the books. This is all the knowledge I wish to receive during this great adventure through literature.


- What is the bias of modern literature? 
- Who are some well known authors?
- What inspired authors to write their novels?
- What commonalities exists in modern novels? 
-  Who would you find reading?

What I already know about my topic

I do not have a lot of knowledge pertaining to the period of modern literature. Just the word modern makes it simply obvious that the time period was very recent. I am aware that in seventh grade we read the book "The Call of the Wild" by Jack London. Like I stated, I am not very educated in the area of modern literature but it shall be very interesting to learn a lot.

The story behind my topic choice

I may not be the best History student but I am not the worse. In seventh grade the social studies teacher once told me that was to be a knowledge joust between us two. I was confused to the oncoming event. I then came to school the next day spotting two horses, armor,and an ambulance. Before I knew it the whole school, staff and students, were sitting in stands, some were screaming my name while the remaining were belching out the name of my teacher. We had a medieval history trivia of years 1914-1939, I lost with my mercy from my teacher. From then on I have always knew i needed to catch up on my history knowledge but never had the time. I think is would be both a challenge and a honor to learn of such a recent time period in literature history.
