2.- Compare (3) and contrast (3) the reading you completed with the ppts. on Modernist culture and literature.

Contrast.

Contrasts:
a.- Basically the searching for employments because of the the Great depression.
b.- Individualism.
c.- Actually one of the contrasts is that the readings are not very focussed on the happy things of the life they are kind of pessimists.



3.- In your opinion, do you feel the readings you completed are very good or excellent examples of Modernist literature?

I hardly believe that both books are excellent examples of modernist literature... but why? because in both the themes are the people who used to live at that time of the history and they talk about the lifes of them and that's the center of the modernist literature.

4.- Would you recommend these readings to your friends and/or family? Why/why not?

I strongly recommend these readings to my friends but not to my family, why?, because my friends of my age are concerning more about people and about theirselves and that's what they are looking for now, for an identity and I think that these books are very good for them to look for an identity because of the descriptions of the persons how they were living in the past or in the west so I hardly recommend this to my friends and not to my family.
