Lecture #1, Short Story Timeline


            The lesson that was the introduction to the short story unit was all about the literary time line.  I was able to fully understand every section of literary history from the early 1800’s to present day, from romanticism to the post-modern world we have now.  The lecture was truly informative in its layout, slowly defining everything that happened during those times and connecting the main focus to how the writings are reflections of the time periods.  All of the concepts presented could be summed up into the sectors of the generations that existed at the time and what major world events were taking place.  Generation Y is the generation that we are part of, showing that we are some of the big names that appear when speaking about post modern novels and short stories.
