Applied Modernism

           Modernism is a style or movement in the arts that aims to break with classical and traditional forms. The book Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is a modernist novel because of the conflict with inner-self, the bleak vision of the future and the stream of consciousness.

My Modern Moment

My writing in this modern moment is different then it would have been five years ago, because times have changed over the years. People have become more self-reliant and the way we express ourselves change how people in general write. I write things based off of what I have learned throughout the world in this generation. The way people talk, the different expressions people use and what they mean may be different now then what it was five years ago.

My Modernist

The author I would choose to study would be George Bernard Shaw. Shaw was born in Dublin, Ireland and I have always wanted to go to Ireland. He had a troubled childhood which usually brings out the best writing from people. Lastly, he was a freethinker and a supporter of women rights and as a girl myself, I appreciate his support. This decision was easy and I am confident I made the right choice.

The First Seven Years

The end of this story completely shocked me. The whole reason the worker stayed in his house for weeks, was because he loved his boss's daughter. Although the shoemaker was trying to get his daughter involved with the school boy, a different man had his eyes on her. I wonder what his daughter thinks about all of this.

In Mildred's Parlor

The stage is set in Montag's house with Mildred, Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Bowles. The room was blazing hot, he was all coldness, they sat in the middle of an empty desert with three chairs and him standing, swaying, and him waiting for Mrs. Phelps to stop straightening her dress hem and Mrs. Bowles to take her fingers away from her hair. Then he began to read in a low, stumbling voice that grew firmer as he progressed from line to line, and his voice went out across the desert, into the whiteness, and around the three sitting women there in the great hot emptiness.

"The tree that gauges everything.

A tree stands, lone and tall,
Only frequently accompanied by the wind,
The leaves are no good for eating,
And the branches much too weak for nesting.

Each gust of unwelcome wind,
Strips branches,
Tears leaves,
They fall to the ground only to die,
Only to be left alone.

And although new leaves,
New branches are grown,
Those that were lost,
Can never be replaced."

To Modern or Post Modern

         This quote is saying that fiction does not help in depressing times. When David Foster Wallace says, "You burn with hunger for food that does not exist", he is explaining that fiction give people a false idea of hope or happiness. Fiction may act as an escape to somewhere better, but it isn't always.
