BEST OF AMERICAN LIT.

From this entire school year I think my biggest accomplishment in american literature and just in my life in general is when I got to talk JP Bouvet! I would have never have thought that I would collaborate and talk with him since he is one of my idols.

Now the subjects that I really related to the most in american literature were modernism and transcendentalism because they don't really follow set of rules and they try to go beyond average or what's expected. I can relate to that especially in music and in drumming. So for my project I will show how modernism and transcendentalism relates to music and drumming.

DERBY REPORTAGE

In Hunter S. Thompson's artical of the Kentucky Derby it's very interesting how he writes it. Now instead of writing it as an actual artical like in a magazine or in newspaper he writes if he was writing it from a journal or a diary and just explains what he experienced when he was over at the derby. In the artical he tells the reader what he experienced in person and what he was thinking about when it was occurring and most of the time it was either very random or very per vocative.

My Slaughterhouse

In Slaughterhouse Five there was many examples of post modernism. When Vonnegut put himself in the book that was example of breaking the fourth wall because not many other authors put themselves in their stories. It's like the Marvel movies when Stan Lee puts himself in every the movie. Another example is when Billy gets unstuck in time, post modernism doesn't have a time frame so the story isn't very structured consistently when it comes to time. Post modernism also shows unusual humor at times were you would think it would be serious or tragic.
