Finding paragraph #3
History is a subject many people may not show favoritism over, including myself. Although English may seem boring as well, it could always change if someone is willing to take the time and search for interesting things that went on during a certain time period. In my research, I talked about the Early Age Era which came to existance mostly because of World War I, the argument about giving women the right to vote, the stock market crashing, and the depression they faced. Sitting there while all this was going on, one would think it would be easy to just simply sit down and write about it all, or so you would think. How were this authors influenced to write these stories? As one learns more and more about this Era of Literature, that question, and probably many others run through your head. Suprisingly, writers did not focus on what was going on all around the world. They tried to enlighten the thoughts and feelings of their readers.

Finding paragraph #2
Researching this topic has been very interesting. So interesting I'm ready to be finished with it. During the time span of a couple weeks, I realize that the World War took a big part in Modern Literature. They definitely used this World War to their adventure. Modern Literature wasn't just a form of Literature, it was more so a way of life. When I first read "Modern Literature," I automatically knew that obviously it was a more recent Literature. The word "Modern" sort of gave it away. Authors used the world around them.

Reflection on sources
Finding sources for my topic 'Modern Literature' isn't as easy as I thought it'd be. Matter of fact, it wasn't simple at all, it was actually quite a struggle to find reliable sources. I kept finding stuff on Literature, but it wasn't modern literature. I found history as well, but not telling what built this certain form of literature. The most useful one was probably the second one on my 'Preliminary Links and Descriptions' list below. Wikipedia I made sure I avoided, that's the only one that displayed obvious bias in my opinion.
Reflection on process
During this entire research process, I have picked up many different things that I never knew before. It was easy, but at the same time difficult. Wordle messed up, but it wasn't as important as everything else. What really aggravated me was when my blogger wasn't working. I had two accounts and i had to delete one, yet it ended up deleting both accounts. It took me a while to get back on track but I eventually got it. I enjoyed animoto the most, making the video was fun. I just wish it could have been longer than thirty seconds, because it cut off some of my research questions and a couple pictures along with it. I disliked all the website troubles, but I worked through them all. If I had to do this project again I would probably try and work harder. I just got backtracked by all the technical difficulties that happened.

Finding Paragraph #1
For a while now, I have been researching Modern Literature. As I've been jumping from site to site, I've picked up many different things on this topic. I was suprised to find out that there were many more forms of Literature, and also more types of Modern Literature, such as high moderation Literature. There's a whole world to discover. One could definitely find out a pile of information, just by paying attention. In the Era of Modern Literature, Shakespeare was one of the most famous of this time. As of now, people more so know him as the man that had written Romeo and Juliet, but he deserves more credit then that. The people from this time period definitely gave him that credit, they recognized what great work he accomplished. I was glad to find all this out, because it was orginally one of my search questions. One would be very enlightened while searching this certain topic.
