The modern period seems to be about all of the death that occured in the time period. Only once would i like to read a modern work that was about something happy. I see how death could be a main focus with the world war because thousands of people died. But something good must have happened during this period, not all of this time incompased death.
My other thoughts include that why wouldn't we get specific examples of the war, instead of just aspects of death.
Yeah the literature makes it seem like it is a really time of depression....but it wasn't really. I mean yeah there was war, but that doesn't make all of life bad. we have the war in iraq and we are doin just fine...it's not like everyone is depressed or anything, and the literature doesn't reflect that. Like yea sometimes people write about how society has taken advantage of things, but it's not as down and gloomy as it was then, it's more heartbroken now.
ReplyDeleteYea i think all the stories we read were depressing and about death. There had to be some happy parts of that time period.
