Modernism

The topic I choose was The Jazz Age. The Jazz Age was about people sell alcohol, and they made bars and then they started having bootleggers sell alcohol. I want to read about how they started making bars and when can they started letting people bootleg.

The story “Gatsby’s Party” was about these people who came from every where and just wanted to go to this party that they have every once in a while. When they have the party a lot of people come to the party, some under the age of 21. When they get there all of them drink and have a good time like it’s a club.

The story was told by a man name Nick Carraway, who wanted to have this big party. It was a nice spot next door to the place called Jay Gatsby’s huge mansion. He had just gotten his first job, and then he uses some of the money to open his new club. It was when new people come to meet each other. They always had nice music playing for you, bars so that you can drink.

The story I read was “Gatsby Party”, the party was about this man who sold alcohol at his parties and had nice things there. I think that the way it has something to do with Jazz Age is that they serve alcohol and things like that. So they would be a bootlegger from what they talked about in the Jazz Age. "I was on my way to get roaring drunk from sheer embrassment when jordan Baker came out the house and stood at the head of the marble steps." It's telling how they use to have alcohol and it was illegal to have it then.

The story relate to the Jazz Age really good because they had a lot of illegal things going on at the party that they were doing. All the people who called there self gangster was there. At the party they found out about this person was at the party that had killed some women. There were fights going on while the party was going on. That’s how the people live there life in the Jazz Age.

The story about Richard Corey is a sad story. It about how other people seen that these man was beautiful all the girls liked him. It seems that he did feel the same way about his self. So one day Richard went home and shot his self. The poem probably is disillusionment because Richard Corey was not a happy man as everybody seen him.

The story Mending Wall is about two neighbors who had had a disagreement about a fence. One of the neighbors asks why they need a fence. The other neighbor wanted a fence because he said that a fence makes a good neighbor and keep the peace and them more separated. I think that it has something to do with disillusionment because it talking about people trying to free there self’s.

In the poem “Dream Deferred” is asking what happen to a dream that was lost and damaged. Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? it is tell you how a dream can just be destroyed. The poem is speaking about the time in slavery, because the slaves had dreams but they couldn’t come true because what they were going through.

In the poem “The Negro Speaks of River” he tells you how the Ancestor of how it was them that built the pyramid, and bathed in Euphrates River. In the poem he says “I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep.” They are talking about the slaves had to built everything with there hands and with there minds.

In the poem “Incident” the author says that when he was in Baltimore he was very happy and he was also very young and some body nigger. He was hurt by this emotionally because of the name called. And so I smiled, but he poked out
His tongue, and called me, "Nigger." He is trying to get him down by calling him names. This poem has something to do with disillusionment cause the boy tries to avoid all the things the people were doing to him.
