Finding Paragraph #1

History is a subject many people may not show favoritism over, including I, and English may be another subject one may not be to fond of, however this can all change if someone is willing to take the time and show one some interesting things that went on during one like twenty five year time period. I am talking about the Early Modern Era. This era came to existence because of exciting, remembered events such as World War I, woman the right to vote, stock market crashed, the depression, and so much more (Literature Timeline). With so much going on one would think it would be a very easy task to just sit down and write about it, or so you would think. Where did authors get the ideas that they wrote about? Who or what influences them to write? Did they even write about what was going on in the world? This questions may run through ones mind as they start to learn about the writing during the Early Modern Era. Surprising writers did not focus on what was going on all around the world. They tried to enlighten the thoughts and feelings of their readers One particular poem writer, Gerard Manley Hopkins, would write poems unlike the others. He made reality turn into a story. He wrote of all that went on but all at the same time if was like a rated G version. (Rahn). The world was turning in to something new, it did not matter if you found this out by looking around you or by cracking open a book.
