Reflection paragraph on sources

I had five sources for my blog. All of my sources dealt with the Contemporary Period. They were all on different aspects of the period. One of my sources displays a timeline of all literary periods. Meanwhile the others give me important quotes, major authors and novels, and important feautures and traits of contemporary literature.

Reflection on the process

During the research blog I found it to be irritating. Although, it was different from the traditional writing method I had many difficulties with the blog. I think that it was easy when technology would cooperate, the remaining time when it would not was frustrating.

Finding Paragraph #3

Conttmeporary literature is a significant literary branch, that exists globally. It is an open form of writing and uses a discontinous narrative as a common literary trait. Poetry in this era is primarily free verse. Although, when analyzing the period as a whole most of the works are a combination of oter characteristics. Culture, language, and religion have seemed to impact the style of writing throughout recent years, as well as extensive use of classical allusions. Features of the literary works of this time all relate through the expression of human miseries, depression and disillusionments of the post-war era. This is a possible result of the scientific and technological difficulties throughout the twentieth century(http://www.mapsofworld.com/referrals/books/fiction-books/contemporary-fiction-books/contemporary-literature-books.html).

Finding Paragraph #2

In the Contemporary Period, views of the modern world are included in the popular styles/ genres. Although nonfiction is popular as well as fiction, most people in this time era seem to like fiction stories that provoke emotions or are humurous. As for nonfiction, autobiographies are increasingly popular (http://staff.edmonds.wednet.edu/users/hansonk/LITERARY%20PERIODS%20AND%20THEIR%20CHARACTERISTICS.htm). "Contemporary literature, comprises of writings of a class distinguishable by a high standard of writing; be it beauty, composition, style, significance," this quote summarizes the definition of Contemporary literature (http://www.illiterarty.com/genre-contemporary-literature).
