Finding Paragraph #2

Many events going on, people going in every direction, and important news every time one was to turn on the radio, sometimes opening up a book or sitting down to read something was the last think on one's mind. When someone did pick up a book though, would you find that there was something that every author was writing about? "Set into motion by rapid changes in the fabric of American life, it produced literature fraught with tension, struggling with deep universal questions yet never coming up with fully reliable answers. It was during this period of drastic change and drastic art that American literature finally came into its own in academia" (Byrd). Within books and novels, may would think that they could find out what was going on around them at ease, but others had to find out the hard way that the things that was going around them was not an authors favorite subject to write of. live in the life of 1914 through 1939 and pick up a book, any book of your choice. You would be most likely to pick up and read about Gottfried Benn, Bertolt Brecht, Ernst Jünger, maybe even Thomas Mann. (Grimm) Weather you are young or old there was a book or story out there for you to read. Get to know a little more, know about the world, or enlighten the situation that may be going on around you.
