Historical events affect literature greatly. It can cause the people that write to change or what they write about to change. It can also affect language. An example is the freedom of slaves and the civil war. Although there were African American authors and writers prior to the Emancipation Proclamation, it opened the doors for so many more of them to become authors and writers. Around that time a lot of literature also included freed slaves.

Historical events influence literature since literature can shape, change, and determine one's values. Literature can inform people, each play, story, or bible, can impact someone, be it positive or negative.

You gave some awesome events to get your point across, I thought it was very well written.

This is a really good point, I liked how you explained literature :)

Historical events influence literature by changing writers views on the world around them. People express themselves through literature, most of there influence is based on whats happening around them. When historical events take place, the world changes and so do people, resulting in changed literature.

I agree with this, seeing one thing happen can change your whole reality.

Historical events can influence literature in many ways. Some literature tells stories of people from certain historical periods, whether true, based on true events, or based on facts about the time, this literature can be used to keep us from repeating dark events in history.

History affects current literature by giving authors the opportunity to write true stories such as: American Sniper, 13 Hours, 90 Minutes in Heaven, etc and fictional stories such as: The Help, Kite Runner, Book Thief, etc.

Events from our past change the way literature is written because it charges how the author is thinking and the hardships people have gone through or, he or she could be going through themselves. It gives us more insight on why the story was written.

I completely agree people express themselves through what goes on around them.

# data[].attributes.body
You are completely right. People always want to document what's going on around them or what has happened in the past.

Good point! People Definitely take in from their surroundings so a change in that affects a persons behavior thus affecting literature.

Historical events greatly influence literature new and old. For stories such as To Kill a Mocking Bird and Uncle Toms Cabin, these stories have changed our morals, they've taught us how to treat one another and they've even changed how we communicate with others. History is never stopped being made which means change is always relavent weather it's for the good or the bad.
