New Project of American Literature

We are starting a new project in the class. What we need to do is to go researching the author or movement about American literature on the Internet. The topic is not limited in a particular person or a specific movement, but anything about the American literature in the history.

We have not decided our topic yet. However, we are more interested in the literary movement than a specific person. As we searched on the Internet, we find some really good topics such as the Movement of Sentimentalism, or the movement of Southwestern Humor which David was interested in.

In my opinion, we should find a topic which is more related to ourselves, as it is easier for us to explain the impact to our daily life. Usually, the movements in the American literary history would bring a new thought to the people, or a new revolution in the literature. Thus, I think, writing a movement which changed our ideas or we have experienced is really a good thing to do.

We will talk more about the topic later during the class.
