Modernism

I picked the Harlem Renaissnace because I was most interested in this topic. I thought it was interesting how things changed over time and how the culture and people change. Also how music played a big factor in that change too. The mainstream of the new culture and the new ways of the african americans was enjoying it and taking it all in. It was right after war and families was getting back together and settle down. It was all a realy big movement that change the lives of african americans forever. It was a time that plays a really big role in the history of blacks.

The story Sweat Is about How she grow up in the a small town and how it was for her as a child. She lost her mother as a baby. Went to school and got her first look on racism. She started working at the age of 14 because she could finsh school because of her family problems. Then she stared writing and a man named Charles Spurgeon Johnson saw her work and brought her to New York where she was first introduction to the Harlem Renaissance. She was taken back by how different the North was from the South. The town also preserved its African-American culture and history

Realism

In the A Story of an Hour... Mrs. Mallard started to see the spring and all the new things that spring time brings with it and the smells of the rain was still fresh in the air. The songs of the sparrows was moving through the air like waves and made the day that more peaceful. The sky was full of white big clouds that sat of a clear blue sky that she just looked at from her window. Evidence I found in this story helped me to get a good image in my head of how the setting, place, and when the story took place. This is all a example of realism because of the how detail the story was. Like we she hear from herself a whispered that came from her lips and she would repeat it over and over again to herself. Her heart beat faster and her blood weared her body which made he relaxed. All the details in this story help read to see the real and see a image of how real things are. This story tells you how she charcter felt about her husband and it is a very good way to show the meaning of realism.

In the story The battle with Mr Covey... When Mr. Covey took the broad and hit gave him a big blow to the head and gave him a big wound and made him blood and then told him to get up. That seen that realism wanted people to see how things really happen in slavery and to put yourself in the place of the man getting beat all the time and blooding and still having to work and stuffer. You can feel the emotions and the pain of the people who went through this all the time. I like the way this story pointed out things. The story pointed out how slaves were beaten for such little things and for most of the time no reason. It was so curl and so harsh the you just couldn't believe someone could do these things.

Hotel Rwanda to me is a good movie that shows realism. Its showed the way people had to work hard, firght, and lose their lives for there rights. They had to leave their home lands for freedom because their homeland was being take over by another race. It was sad everything was in such details the showed how people was killed and how people was trying to hind and escape. It was so sad when if your married to someone in the was that was being killed off you had to let them go. I felt for them people I could really see myself there on the run trying to protect my life. this story was in such great detail and the realism of saving your own life was what this movie was about it was based all on realism.
