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.

Applied Modernism Essay

       The Great War, also known as World War I ravaged Europe through 1914 and 1918. This war was looked upon with horror and it left society wondering what the world would be in the future. This is a way of thinking that came to be call Modernism. Authors who adopted the modern point of view wrote deliberately and self-consciously. Therefore Modernism is with the inner self and consciousness. The novel Fahrenheit 451, written by Ray Bradbury is consider a modernism novel because it predicts the future.
     
      This novel takes place in the future and it states that books are banned. Montag  the main character lives in a world that is control by the government. Books are banned and firefighters start fire instead of putting them out. Also the country is in the middle of a war. This novel's main theme is censorship.

       This novel predicts the future. People, like Mildred, Montag's wife spent most their time watching parlor television and listening to seashells like earphones that we have today. These people are almost all ignorant. Those who act out or rebel against the law are arrested and punished. For example, if an individual is found with books than they are arrested and their property is burned to the ground. Individuals who think outside the box and think how the world is are considered crazy. For example, Clarisse McClellan considers the world around her and for that she is an outcast of society.

        In conclusion, Fahrenheit 451 is a modernism novel. It predicts the future and expresses destruction and decay. I expresses the main characters thought process or syntax. People break rules in society, there is mistrust, and brokenness with the government. Th is are evidence that makes it a modernism novel.
