The Harlem Renaissance is one i liked more than most of the others because of the Music. People started to express their selves through music and Jazz. I also think it's great how gospel music was made big during this time! I would infer that musicians were more likely to step out of their comfort zone and were inspired by other artist to follow their dreams. African Americans also were at a high point where they had more opportunities to get jobs. Whites were also listening to the music played by African Americans in this time period, so I would infer that racial issues were not as bad as some of the other eras before and after this time. The Harlem Renaissance era was overlapped in the Modernism era, and this was seen in Fitzgerald's book "The Great Gatsby". I don't agree with how the characters treated their relationships and how they didn't seem to care for anything, but the book was kind of entertaining.

I find the Romanticism/Transcendentalism period to be most interesting, I really do think that without it we wouldn’t have the writing styles that we have today. As it says on the slides, Romanticism isn’t about love stories it represents the beginning of American creativity in writing. Romantic writers valued emotions and imagination over facts and logic. This was truly the beginning of fictional writing in American literature. Without this time period in American literature we probably wouldn’t have stories from authors like Stephen King, who wrote fictional stories like It, The Shining, and Pet Sematary. The Romantic writers of this time period included Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Hawthorne was on the darker side of the Romanticism period with his horror stories, much like Stephen King is in modern day writing.

The literary time period I found most interesting is Realism. It took place throuhgout 1855-1900. I found it most interesting because it happned during the civil war. It is very real because it was all during a war going on and shows what people experienced. The genres were novels and short stories, this is how the authors express the world in the most real form and shows how it really is. It has a greater concern over character than action. Realism does not idealize people or places it is the true form. Realism was thought of as very traditional.

The literary time period I find the most interesting is Realism. One reason why I find it most interesting is because it was used during a time a war. It reflects on this time period in writing because of how realistic people were being. Since this style took place during the Civil War. I also like this style because it gives you a better understanding of the real instances that happened during the Civil War. So, when reading a book about the Civil War that was written in the realism period, you would have all the horrid details that make it realistic. One last reason I like this style is because I like history and this style took place during the Civil War.

I think Gothic Literature (1840-1860) was the time period I found the most interesting. In specific, i'm captivated by work from writes such as Edgar Allen Poe. Not only do the stories and poems portray as dark and eerie, I can get behind where the author is coming from. Their feelings and thoughts were expressed through their work regardless of how hard it was to understand or imagine. The fact that this kind of literature was accepted and published allows a variety of different mindsets to be viewed. It also expresses a different type of writing, one not many people would accept. They would turn their head to it. Outside of the personal image it creates, the structure and strength of the work is so captivating. The climax always leaves me on the edge of my seat and leaves me thinking of the story several days after I had read it.

The literary time period i found most interesting was the Realism era. The realism era took place between 1855-1900, the genres were novels and short stories. I find realism so interesting because the authors would describe the world as it truly was. Realism had greater concern over character than action. Since realism took place during the Civil War, it brought demand for a truer type of of literature. There was two different main types of realism which were regionalism and psychological realism. Mark twain was into regionalism which would highlight the cultural difference in different regions across the U.S. Authors like Charlotte Perkins Gilmore were into psychological realism which found truth and reality in the thoughts and actions of characters. A main goal of realism was to change the world by giving reader the truth about how bad people's actions were.

The time period that interested me the most was the Romanticism era. This era was filled with painting, music, literature, and architecture. That's why it is so interesting to me; because so many other things other than just literature. There were many forms of art that people used to express themselves. However, all of the writers from this time period express a deep connection to their emotions and to passions. Another interesting fact about the Romanticism era is the fact that just because it was named the Romanticism era, not every piece was necessarily romantic. In fact, most writers didn't even call themselves "romantic" until around 1808. I like this time period because it was a symbol of inspiration for people to use art to self-expression.

The Rationalism time period was the most interesting for me as it was the separation of church and state. During this time period, there were many famous speeches created to shape the government we have now. It was a revolutionary change for the government system. It was no longer a period where religion was a main basis in court. It interests me because people were now beginning to realize how biased religion was in court. Many things that were used for proof in the past would not be able to be used in court now due to insufficient evidence. The Declaration of Independence was written during the time era, and we still use it to this day.

The literary time period that spiked my interest the most is the Romanticism era. This took place between 1800-1860. Some writings that were done in this time period was Rip Van Winkle by Washington Irving, Thanatopsis by William Cullen Bryant, and poems by Emily Dickinson and Walt Witman. These writings portrayed deep emotion and individualism. Romanticism does not imply that there is love involved, but it started the idea of the American Dream. It was a time that showed imagination and creativity spiking in America. It gave citizens a feeling of freedom and enjoyment which I think would be very important during this time period. I like this because it was a peak for inspiration, which gave people hope.

The literary time period that interested me the most was the Transcendentalism and Gothic Literature period. I really enjoy reading literature from this time period. I enjoy the suspense that comes with the literature when you read it. I also enjoy the many feeling it brings out in. This type of literature really shows hoe different people coup with feelings. I have always enjoyed reading Edger Allen Poe, and talking about his work in class. This type of literature is my favorite to read because i feel like i can get hooked to it easily.

The literary time period I like most is Rationalism. I like history and the Revolutionary War so it is interesting to me. I remember learning about Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" in Sample's college US history class. It also contained works by Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers. The literature from this time period is what made our country what it is today. There were two very important writings that came from this period. These are the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.

# data[].attributes.body
The era of literature I find most impressive, and most captivating for me is Enlightenment era. The writing and literature of Paine, Jefferson, Madison, and Locke. These writers were so influential that they are all political and influential in the beliefs and people of the Modern period itself. The magnetism of the writings to pull and support the issue of personal freedoms, and the role government should take draws the inspiration for a person as influenced by politics. The role of government as a limited force is the acceptance of the rights and liberties for every person. The Enlightenment is the era of new patriotism and politics. The people in it derive power and therefore it is a peoples belief that works for the benefit of the people.

The literary time period I am most interested in is the Harlem Renaissance. During the Harlem Renaissance, African American's culture and work became more appreciated. This gave them an opportunities to have their art and work noticed. People recognized and enjoyed their talent. African Americans were really proud of their work and people appreciating their work made them even more proud of it. Multiple genres of music were created during this time period. The different writings and genres of music really interested me.

The literary time period that I found most interesting is the Harlem renaissance. The Harlem Renaissance was not only a viewpoint, it was a new way of life; an opening into so many opportunities. The Harlem Renaissance brought birth to gospel, blues, and jazz music giving the nation hope for African Americans. The Harlem Renaissance created new openings for African Americans by giving them jobs, chances to be successful, and confidence. Many African Americans became famous through music and writing books. For once, the black community believed that they could be successful and could make a change in the world. The Harlem Renaissance forever changed the world giving access and opportunities to the African American culture.

The era of literature that I find most interesting is the Gothic Literature. This was very popular in the 1840s-1860s. Edgar Allan Poe is an example of an author in this era of literature. His works like 'The Black Cat," "The Pit and the Pendulum," and "The Tell-Tell Heart,' introduced me to his works. Bram Stoker, who wrote Dracula, also inspired me to further research this era of literature. Sadly, we won't get to study him this year because he's apart of British literature, but Oscar Wilde was also a huge influence on my love for the macabre. "The Picture of Dorian Gray" was my all time favorite. I've always been interested in anything with a horror theme, so this time period of writing really interests me.

The literary time period that I found most interesting is Gothic Literature.  I really enjoy reading the ¨spooky¨ types of stories. I really love authors like Edgar Allen Poe. The fact that this time period dates back to 1840 is really cool to me.

my favorite time peiord of literature is modernism. Modernism was between the years 1900-1950. its my favorite because technology changes. The role of women in the society also changes throughout the era of writing. WW! and The Great Depression are huge factors in this writing time peoriod. it shows that the world isnt all its set out to be. A theme of this writing period is "The American Dream." Ts time period is also known as the rise of the youth culture.

The literary time period I found most interesting was the Harlem Renaissance. During this time period many African Americans were migrating north trying to escape the Jim Crow Laws. African American culture was greatly appreciated throughout the early 1920's. The Harlem Renaissance open doors to a new style of music and poetry was being used more. Not only that but African Americans were being greatly recognized for their art work and music by white people. This was really their prime years because they gained so much confidence and were able to accomplish many more things.

The literary time period I am most interested in is Post-Modernism to Contemporary. I like this period because of the more modern themes and occurrences, such as nuclear war and espionage. Most science fiction falls into this category, so that goes along with it as well. There is something for everyone in this time. It is arguable the most diverse time period of them all. This is because of the effect of world events during this period. One book from this time period I am reading currently is Dune, and its pretty good so far.

My favorite time period would have to be the rationalism time period. At this time in history the United States were just beginning the revolution. Also, writing for our colony was becoming new for our many congressman. For example, Alexander Hamilton wrote 51 articles of confederation. He also wrote the Reynolds pamphlet. Rantionlism is one of our nations stepping stones.

The literary time period that I found was the most interesting is Native American Literature period. It showed us the culture that was created under the beliefs of tales about the nature in how things were made with the concept of using it for good and evil.

African Americans were proud of their art. The culture representation that was shown in this era stood out to me.

The literary time period I found the most interesting is gothic literature. This style was popular during the 1760’s. With this style of writing, the authors began to focus on fantasy instead of science and logic. In this type of literature, authors included depth and emotion allowing readers to connect with the story. I like this literary time period because it allows readers to use imagination when trying to understand the storyline. This period of writing also covers romanticism. It portrays a dark way of expressing thoughts and feelings. Which allows readers to be a part of a mystery.

The time period's literature that I find the most interesting has to be Modernism. Modernism ran from 1900 to 1950, and the reason I like it is because of its young adult targeted works. During the time of Modernism, youth literature was just beginning to hit the scene. Young adult works from back then would help to pave the way to the kind of books we have now for people my age, and to me, those are some of the best books there are. In a way, we kind of owe a lot to the Modernism era of literature.

I found that the Harlem Renaissance period is the most interesting. It created a culture. For example it was not just literature that impacted, it opened up a whole new genre of music. Like Gospel, Jazz, and Blues. It also impacted the African American's in a big way. More African American's were having way more success. This period also gave a lot of people confidence. The black people who were not able to do certin things are now able to because all of these books and songs were towards the black's. This gave a lot of conifdence to them, and a lot of them were getting famous.

I found Harlem Renaissance to be the most interesting literary time period. I find it as such because most popular literature from this time period is focuses on the lives and stories of African American people. This time also had a lot to do with the birth of blues and jazz: the foundation of the music we listen to today. Jazz, poetry and so much more was at its height during this time. The Harlem Renaissance gave African Americans their culture and identity-- allowing them to write their own story for once. I would like to read more of Zora Neale Hurston's writings-- they seem so interesting due to the way they are written. I truly just enjoy reading things from other people's perspectives and this time period gives a lot of that type of writing.

The time period that interested me the most was the Gothic time period. I just enjoy reading dark things like that. Authors like Edgar Allen Poe and Mary Shelley are what really piqued my interest for books like this. Frankenstein really had a big impact on me as a kid and really started my love for literature of this genre. I also like Edgar Allen Poe’s books but his poems are really what grabs my attention. Some of his works like “The Raven” and “Annabel Lee” are two of my favorites and also what introduced me to his works. I really hope to study more into this genre of literature this year!

I found gothic literature to be the most interesting genre from the different time periods. This is a very popular form of writing that falls under the category of dark romanticism. I like the mystery and depth that goes into the literature. These stories are very suspenseful for their audience. The dark aurora of gothic literature reminds me of Halloween. The stories often contain horror and death, which correspond to the season. I love Edgar Allen Poe's gothic literature. His stories are well thought out and contain lots of imagination. The suspense pulls the reader into the writing.

The literary time period I find the most interesting is Gothic Literature, and transcendentalism. I find this time period the most fascinating because it was the beginning of the idealization of literature. During this time period the idea of mystery and suspense was very popular. Gothic literature was very melodramatic, and dark. Many works by authors such as Edgar Allen Poe best represent this era of macabre literature. Stories like his, and many authors like him use elements of mystery, omens, and fear. I find these elements the most fascinating when reading literature.

The literary time period I find the most interesting is Gothic Literature. Gothic literature is a genre of literature established in the 1800's. This literary time period was about horrific themes and dark symbols where evil takes over. I find it the most compelling because of the suspenseful atmosphere it presents while reading it. The horror aspect about this time period intrigues me because I am always on edge while reading stories from this literary time period. Famous authors during this literary time period includes Edgar Allen Poe, Mary Shelley, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and more. Edgar Allen Poe's "The Fall Of The House Of Usher" resonates with me because of the unique plots and characters.

Personally, the literary time period I find the most interesting is the Harlem Renaissance. I find this the most compelling topic due to the birth and continuation of multiple genres of music. Gospel music has grown over the years into a highly popular genre as well as jazz and seeing how they were brought upon our world. This time period focuses on bringing light to African Americans in the north and being free. This time period was able to catch attention to African Americans and helped formed a platform for them to grow on. Louis Armstrong was a jazz musician and was able to live an actual life unlike others in the south. I feel as if this time period represents that African Americans were great successes and the people that came out from that time period forever changed the world. This time period was able to impact our nation as we knew it, and was able to give African Americans a footing in our nation.

The literary time period that I was interested in was Romanticism, this is also called Gothic literature. I liked this time period the most because it goes deeper into the story and it also adds suspense to the reader. A famous poet, Edgar Allen Poe, was very into this type of literature. He has many short stories that are filled with suspense and are very scary sounding. For example, The Raven was one of those stories who used Romanticism.

The literary period I'm most excited to learn about is romanticism. I believe that time period was when authors started writing more fictional pieces, which I really enjoy. This was when writers started using their imagination in their writing and steered away from political and religious views. Also, I'm interested in learning more about Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman. These writers were more prominent in the romanticism period. I've never quite gotten into poetry, but I would love to read and dissect some of their works. All around, this literary period just seems more creative and relaxing than others.

The time period I find the most interesting is Romanticism. More specifically Gothic literature. I enjoy how the stories focus on the physiological aspects of horror. The stories use various techniques to un-nerve the reader. I like the contrast that Gothic literature has to other types of literature during the romanticism period. Gothic literature is about escaping from reality but the destination is not pleasant compared to transcendentalism. I love the short stories of Edgar Allen Poe and H.P. Lovecraft. I also really enjoy Bram Stroker's work. The Gothic literature written during the Romanticism period is still to some of the best horror to this day.

The Harlem Renaissance era stood out to me the most. The era's accessibility to media became available to more races, so non-white races, such as African Americans took advantage of this new freedom. Consequently, African-American culture intrigued people regardless of race. This interest encouraged people to look beyond color. Due to the new possibilities given to the African Americans, they could achieve more than they ever could. Their artwork, music, and writings gain popularity and appreciation. Their recognition sparked hope in the African American community. Although, they were still disrespected; their new access to media and outlets started a link between different races. Hence, I found Harlem Renaissance fascinating.

The literary time period I found most interesting was the period of Transcendentalism and Gothic Literature. The idea of authors writing fictional pieces after a period of writing mostly non-fictional, political articles and pamphlets is cool. I also like the depth and imagination that comes with this literary period. Authors were allowed creative freedom, and they could write whatever they pleased for others' entertainment. The periodic break from political and factual writing styles is really fascinating. Gothic literature, specifically, is entertaining due to its focus on horror, the effects it can have on a person, etc. I also personally enjoy Edgar Allen Poe's works, and his influence on the romantic and Gothic literary periods.

I feel like out of the literary time periods Harlem Renaissance literature is my favorite. I find the african american culture really intresting. After they had moved to the North they were able to publish and have more access to different sources and information. This allowed other individuals to understand african cultures. I feel like that had to be a large amount of courage to do in that time period. Langston Hughes was one of the most famous figures during that time. He wrote about racial injustice and african american culture. Those types of writing really intrest be because they explain so well about what it's like in that time period.

I personally like the realism type of writings. I prefer the real takes on something over the fantastical. The ideas of Realism have lived until today even. It inspired many great works whether it is in a book or in a TV show. It coincides with Naturalism. Books like Lord of the Flies take from both. Realism tends to be a bit darker than many of the other writings by exploring humans in a real and darker way. It is still indeed enjoyable to a great extent.

My favorite time period Gothic literature. This time period was composed of fiction and death. Throughout the stories one can sense a feeling of suspense. I found this very attracting in this era. Gothic literature evoked the feeling of fear. The atmosphere is almost unpleasant. I love having that feeling of suspense while reading the stories. Half of the time the end of the books are not what you fully expect.

I personally found the Modernism era the most interesting. The modernism era began in the early 20th century. This time period was very interesting for literature because of the events happening in the world at that time. At this time Things like the great depression and world war 2 were happening. This changed the way people were writing. They began to think about things more philosophically with more defined details. This was very visible through their writings.

I persoanlly was extremely interested in the time period of the Harlem Renaissance. During that time period the African American community was appreciated for their artwork, musical talent, and more. I believe this was when Americans were slowly beginning to relize that there was more to them than their color. The whites had became very interested in what they had to offer, they began to want their entertainment, and their pure talent. Many wealthy white men and women were buying artwork, or helping them pursue their dream by being generous and helping them with money. This truly gave the 1920's culture when it came to writing, they began to educate the world on different cultures, and it gave everyone the chance to see how the world truly looks through others eyes.

I found gothic literature to be the most interesting literary time period. These stories are very appealing because of the suspense from reading them. When reading these stories you are pulled in by not knowing exactly what is going to happen in the ending. Sometimes, the ending is not fully presented to the reader leaving you to imagine what happened in the end. It is very interesting to see how this style of writing has evolved from the rise of gothic literature to now.

The literacy time period I find most interesting is the Transcendentalism time period. This was between 1840-1860. Transcendentalism represents equality, individualism, self-reliance, integrity, and optimism. Transcendentalists do not believe in religion, they are very spiritual. My favorite writer from this time period is Edgar Allen Poe. He is a very mysterious man who wrote many dark stories. He wrote about impulsive decisions. I really like his short story "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Murders in the Rue Morgue." These both stories have to do with murders. "The Tell-Tale Heart" main point is you cannot escape guilt. A man kills his old man because of his eye cataract. He ends up exposing himself to the police because of guilt. In conclusion, transcendentalism is my favorite literacy time period.

My personal favorite literary time period is the Harlem Renaissance. In this era African Americans moved from the south to the north and began working in factories when white men went to war. The Jim Crow laws were very harsh on African Americans as well, so they were better off in the north. They also started to express their artistic abilities by using music, poetry, and singing. Their talent had finally been recognized by white people and they were able to express themselves. This also brought in more diverse opinions and ideas into the mix. I just love that the African American culture was finally being appriciated.

I like the gothic time period the most. I think it introduced a new idea of writing in a very bold way. In this time dark and disturbing stories were becoming a trend. A very famous poet in this time was Edger Allen Poe. He wrote stories such as "The Raven" and 'A Tell-Tale Heart." I love these stories because they is so much backstory missing i get to create the past in my head. In a Tell Tale Heart the narrator murders an old man just because he did not like his eye. I think this was a very simple storyl
ine but very deep. It makes us think about how hard someone will go until they break. How sometimes our motives arent always appropriate for our actions.

The time period that I find most interesting is Realism. It shows the world for what it really is, and portays it without any sugarcoating that would typically make the story more enjoyable. It is for that same reason that I find naturalism intersting as well. Survivalist type stories are generally interesting and the reader will typically learn something about the real world that they did not know before reading the story.

I think the most interesting time period is romanticism. People were being more creative. They started using the freedom of their imagination. Genres like transcendental and gothic literature became popular. Writers stepped away from religion and politics and wrote about feelings and emotion.

The Transcendentalism and Goth was my personal favorite literary time period because it illustrates such a trending subject in the 1840's through the 1860's. Goth literature is very intresting and as I read I can create stories and pictures inside my head that illustrate what the poet or author has announced. A poet who has written about Goth literature in the 1800's was named Edgar Allan Poe. Some of Poe's famous short stories and poems are, The Masque of the Red Death and the Black Cat, his work is very intriguing and intresting in his own way because of his descriptive writing. I love the way he illustrtes his poems and short stories because they are very unique and Goth, while some also are mysterious. Goth and Transcedentalism were my favorite literary time period in the 1800's.

I find Harlem Renaissance the most interesting. This time period was when jazz was created and due to this the racial walls were kinda broke down. African Americans were moving north to escape Jim Crow Laws and work in factories. African Americans had more of a voice by moving north and became more successful. African Americans and whites grew closer which helped kinda lay the foundation for making racism less apparent.

I find the Harlem Renaiissance very intriguing. It's cool to me that black culture was finally recognized to everyone else. Black people were finally getting a voice at this time and that is exponentially more important to me than the other periods of literature. Segregation was still existent, but then they had an outlet to be more respected. Black culture finally brought in their traditions and music to mix with Americas more western traditions. The reason why the movement was so big was because the North was more accepting to African Americans than the south. So they all migrated to escape Jim Crow laws and hit the jackpot. This is where Jazz music came from and it seems it made a huge impact on American music.

I am interested in the Gothic period the most. The horror and darkness draw me towards that period. Especially authors like Edgar Allen Poe. Poems like The Raven, Annabelle Lee, and Lenore, the darkness in those poems all have really good themes and meaning behind them. Edgar Allen Poe kind of reminds me of Stephen King because of the horror and the want to keep reading to find out what happens. The poems and books in this time period always have a way to keep you on your toes because of the horror and the suspense that it creates. It is also very open and creative and not based off of one topic like religion or war. The Gothic period opened up a door for writers to express themselves in a darker way that would still entertain people.

I find The Harlem Renaissance the most interesting because their stories were based on true historical events. It introduced jazz, poetry, opera, embracing the lives of African Americans letting them be seen and heard by everyone. Americans seemed to enjoy their culture as well, they got to know and see more about it. African Americans had more opportunities and rights. There gospel music bought the attention of many people which gained their confidence and pride to keep going. It had always been difficult for African Americans till the Harlem Renaissance introduced them and gave them access to media and publishing.

I found romanticisim the most interesting. Romanticism was the beginning of writing and it show cased The American Dream. Romanticism contained art, literatrue, and music. This type of literature viewed ones imagination like fairy tells. The book Frankenstein was an example of one of the most important Romanticism books ever made. This typpe of literature influenced education and history. People have normallized having an imagination due to this genre. I would like to learn more about this genre and what else it can contain.

Realism is my favorite type of literature, realism is the idea of telling a true story something that sounds like it would actually happen. I love books that are written on the idea of something that never happened but could happen. Reading the thoughts of authors and their idea of how situations would play out is my favorite. When reading a realism story it's like seeing the world how everyone else sees it.  The way this literary period came about is very interesting because people were tired of only hearing romantic stories so they did the opposite. Realism is something that I am interested in learning more about. I would love to read more realism in class and grow my knowledge in this part of literature.

I personally find the Gothic period most interesting. The cryptic metaphors and symbolism are very intriguing. My personal favorite author is Edgar Allan Poe for his cryptic and chilling poetry. I love poems like The Telltale Heart, The Red Death, and The Casket of Amontillado for their themes of horror and madness. They used ravens and hooded figures to describe loneliness, grief, and insanity. Poets and writers shared the darkest parts of their minds through stories of hooded ghosts and beating hearts. I personally find that aspect of Gothic literature very captivating.

I am interested in the Harlem Renaissance. During this era, a door was being opened for African Americans and their culture was finally being seen and appreciated. Americans were getting to see black American's side of everything and their story. During this time, Jim Crow Laws were very prominent and strict. Black Americans truly did not have voice and were not being heard. They were given the opportunity to create their genre and trends through not only writing but also music and fashion.

I found the Harlem Renaissance was an interesting literary time period. It brought some culture into  writing in the 1920s. During this time, there was a mass African American migration to northern urban centers. They came because they wanted to escaped the Jim Crow laws and they saw some job opportunities in factories. It gave girth to gospel music and revealed superficial stereotypes in poetry. African Americans had more access to media and publishing outlets after they moved north.

I am interested in the Romanticism period. Romanticism was the beginning of the creativity in writing that idealized the ¨American Dream¨. It was interesting to me because it was the freedom of imagination and the primacy of the individual. It focused on the awe of nature. It also was an interest of common man and childhood. Romanticism was for strong senses, emotions, and feelings. It started a celebration of the individual. The thing that interested me the most was that it was just now the start of imagination and how important it was. That is why I think Romanticism is the most interesting time period. I look forward to learning more about the people that are involved in each time period.

The time period that I find interesting is the Gothic period. People started using their imagination and pulling away from rationalism. This period had authors like Edgar Allen Poe and Emily Dickinson were popular. Instead of writing about politics, people wrote about whatever they could think of. They wrote about monsters and killers. They were creative and wanted to share their creativity. In this time period people wrote about what they wanted and they shared it with others. They weren't afraid to share their imagination, no matter how dark and twisted it was.

The literary time period I find most interesting is gothic literature. The reason why i believe this is because it was one of the most eeriest form of the romanticism time period. Gothic literature can have some characteristics such as horror, supernatural elements, gruesomeness, and more eerie subjects. During this time period gothic literature was one that grew larger of the romanticism movement. This genre is a form of dark romanticism and emerged in the late 1700s. Edgar Allan Poe had some stories that were part of gothic literature that had some characteristics such as horror and gruesomeness. Some of these stories include "The Raven", "The Tell-Tale Heart", and "The Masque of the Red Death".

I find the romanticism to be very interesting. It was the starting point of creative writing. It focused on the beautiful of nature. I was most interested in the imagination of the genera. Romanticism changed writing, it brought a completely different and new style to the literature community. It focused on the feelings and emotions of the author. This is why the romanticism period stands out to me. I am excited to learn more about the authors during this time.

The time period I found the most interesting was the modernism period. I feel this time period affected us the most. The modernism period gave us many great books and ideas. Books such as the Great Gatsby and Anthem are classics, everyone should read them once in their life time. This time period made us into what we are today. It stated the modern life and how we live it. I can't wait for all the things I shall learn about the modernism age of time. I hope to learn newer and interesting ideas to help me become a better person in life. Reading books can only help you, not hurt you.

The time period I find most interesting is Gothic romanticism. Edgar Allen Poe wrote a numerous amount of poems. These poems and stories are great for fall, when everyone is ready for Halloween. I like how the stories build suspense, he does a great job of building up suspense and then executing the endings. I look forward to reading more poems and stories from Edgar Allen Poe and other writers.

The literary time period I find most interesting is the Gothic Literature time period. Stories that are dark remind me of Halloween and that is one of my favorite holidays. I have read some of Edgar Allen Poe's poems, like Annabelle Lee and A Tell-Tale Heart, and I enjoyed them. The mysteries in these stories are able to draw the reader in whether one likes to read or not. Many of the stories from this time period do not have much of an explanation or background story. Because of this, the reader is able to make guesses on what the story could be trying to say or if it could have a hidden, underlying meaning. I look forward to reading more stories from this time period around Halloween time, so I can get in the spirit.

Personally, I like the romanticism period the most. It is when writers started to be more creative and imaginative with their writing. Gothic literature was introduced during the period and it seems interesting. The romanticism revolutionized writing at the time. It brought an entire new style of writing that people could enjoy as opposed to the prior period, rationalism. Rationalism was too focused on real life. Romanticism brought out a good way to enjoy books.

I personally found the enlightenment period most interesting. In addition to having a fascination with the American Revolution, I also like this time period because this is the first period where people began to speak their minds. Before people like Patrick Henry and Thomas Paine, the general public blindly served the king and couldn't deviate from the social norms that they lived with . This created a world with little tolerance for individuality or anything different, crushing individual liberties. These men combated the issue by speaking out against tyranny and telling the world that you do not have to be a slave to your leader or society. Thanks to people like this, Americans are promised freedom of speech, religion, assembly, and much more. For this reason, we should be thankful for those who stood up for themselves,because they stood up for us too.
