I don't know what to do for my modernist author project yet. The normal thing to do is just fallow the instructions and be boring but Dr. Preston don't like that so I have to let my creativity loose. A song would be good or a poster could be good too.

Joe College

Today's presentation was helpful to me in different ways. It made me realized that I can finish what I started a while back ago. I am not interested in any campuses yet. The college that I will go to is Hancock college because it is a cheap community college. I plan to study mechanical engineering because I like to fix things and tear them apart. My obstacles are to find a way to pay for the college.

I am Joseph Conrad

1. I am a considerate writer. I have crafted a chillen tales mixed with lush imagery and symbolism.
2. My sense of isolation from my past has helped me write my books.
3. With my own sweat  and blood, as a sea man I gained the life of experience and sensitivity for insight into human condition.
4. I am characterized by strong and turbulent or conflicting emotion. This is like my personality.
5. I am a traveler. I have travel extensively including the USA.

MAP 1: Introducing Joseph Conrad

•  it addresses the timeless struggle of man’s self-deception and inner conflicts, influenced by Conrad’s own sense of isolation from his past
• exploitation and barbarity between European and African societies during 19th Century colonial expansionism. 
•  Conrad was the only child born to Evelina Bobrowska (1832–1865) and Apollo Korzeniowski, (1820–1869) patriot, writer, and translator of such authors’ works as Victor Hugo’s and William Shakespeare’s
• four-year old Joseph and his parents were exiled to the province of Vologda in Northern Russia. The living conditions and harsh climate took their toll on Joseph’s parents: they both contracted tuberculosis, Evelina dying of it in 1865, Apollo in 1869. He was celebrated at his death by the Poles in patriotic honour.
• twelve Joseph became the ward of his maternal uncle Tadeusz Bobrowski (d.1894), a landowner who lived in Cracow, Poland. He was a great support to Joseph morally and financially for many years to come.

These are the facts that I chose because they are what influence Joseph Conrad to write his novels.
