Well, In all the stories theirs at least a glimpse of the future. or a little taste of what they think it looks like in their eyes.Or how it is today. For example, The Story "The first seven years" by Bernard Malamud he shows a lot of generational differences in education and technology like today. A lot of people have their own opinions and ideas. But it also shows how people don't approve of it.. like for example Miriam's dad and how he doesn't approve of the choices shes making. it also proves that things are only going to get worse and education is just going to be pushed aside. Another story we read was "Fahrenheit 451" By Ray Bradbury. I considered it modernist because he shows a glimpse of what he thinks the future would be like without books. In this story people aren't allowed to read books or basically have their own opinion. Once their privileges were taken away they couldn't help but get curious! i mean i would too! imagine someone taking away you're iPhone but, it's still connected and you can still receive messages.. wouldn't you be super omega curious of what those messages contained?!?!!.. well i would. We also read and memorized " Richard Cory " Edwin Arlington Robinson. Now that one gives a powerful meaning. Richard Cory was a normal guy on the outside, but on the inside he hides his thoughts and in the end he ends up taking his life. That was shocking to every reader who thought it was about something else like i did.........cause i honestly didn't see that coming. I guess he's got a lot of "Inner and Outer" stuff. OK confession. I don't really remember what that is but Im guessing "Inner" is Your own thoughts. And "Outer" Is your view on life.. But.. IMAGINE!!!! Oh goodness..i mean his outer appearance was wonderful!! But I really wish that the Author would have put some UGHH.. At least a clue That he was going to kill himself.! Modernism means different things to these Authors..And it's amazing reading about their individual opinions. Im really looking forward to seeing and reading about more individual opinions. Let the adventure begin!:)
