Discuss four pieces of literature or art that reflect four different movements or historical periods listed below. Analyze each piece (in a relatively concise way) and explain how it expresses its movement or period in some essential way, supporting your point directly from the work (if literature, use at least one quote directly from the work; if art, analyze it in some detail). For two of the movements/periods you must use literature, and for the other two you may use art (you may use literature for all if you wish).
Your essay should be 1000-1500 original words, in double-spaced format (not including works cited or outline), intro, four body paragraphs, and conclusion. For citations use the MLA style (in-text citations).Your paper must include: An original title; a highlighted (or emboldened) thesis; a bibliography (or works cited page); an outline of the essay (c. one page; not included in the word count); direct quotations from literature.
