-correlates to the increasing disillusionment concerning religion;; rocking cradle= birth of christ; irony in the "nightmare" of his birth
-pessimistic view of a culture in disarray; degradation of society. "turning and turning in the widening gyre/ the falcon cannot hear the falconer;/ things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;/ mere anarchy is loosed upon the world"; the use of chaotic imagery here demonstrates yeats' belief that the sins of society have left the world in disarray; culture itself is splitting at the seams and society is falling apart.

I do not thinkg that they will sing to me."; "No I am not prince Hamlet nor was I meant to be!" It's an allusion to sirins, known for killing sailors, but the author doesn't see himself worthy of their attention, implying they're very picky merpeople. As for the Hamlet thing, Prufrock sees Hamlet as a hero, despite his death. ]]> 2016-12-16 19:46:37 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsaf/cn0rd9a7n44h/wish/144130579 lillian_dukes https://padlet.com/williamsaf/cn0rd9a7n44h/wish/144131001 "Surely some revelation is at hand: 
Surely the second Coming is at hand. 
The Second coming! Hardly..."

The use of "surely" illustrates Yeats' doubt that any salvation will come. It contradicts the common notion that humanity will be saved by a benevolent rapture.

Petals on a wet, black bough.

This poem shows how people do not care about each other, how others aren't worthy of remembering. This follows the tenants of modernism closely, fitting in with the portryal of man as selfish and cruel.]]> 2016-12-16 20:00:40 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsaf/cn0rd9a7n44h/wish/144132828 kyle_cozzone https://padlet.com/williamsaf/cn0rd9a7n44h/wish/144132835 This poem follows several tenets of modernism such as the disappearance of a benevolent God, emphasized by when the speaker asks "Comforter, where is your comforting?". There is also a depressing tone throughout the poem, such as in the ending where the speaker states that all things die. This gives an overall feeling of hopelessness and despair as any positive contribution to the world is drowned in a sea of sin and forgotten to time. Pain and suffering is inescapable in this world of sin, chaos and hopelessness. ]]> 2016-12-16 20:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsaf/cn0rd9a7n44h/wish/144132835 https://padlet.com/williamsaf/cn0rd9a7n44h/wish/144133312 AILD reflects many modernist views such as the destruction of the family unit, one or more characters as an outcast, an ambiguous ending, a lack of universal truth and often ambiguity within truth; which often results in no 'commen theme' but rather many separate ideas that can be gathered from the novel.  The destruction of the family is evident from the start, even reflected through the last name 'Bundren' of which not only is Addie and her coffin a physical burden but the individual family members are also a burden to eachother. With Darl as the outcast, he provides often differing views of the truth throughout he story from the other characters. Faulkner also analyzes and often critzizes religion (which is a modernist characterist) through the characters Cora and Whitfield. In addition to all of this, Faulkner makes use of improper grammar and unusual writing styles to convay his purpose.]]> 2016-12-16 20:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsaf/cn0rd9a7n44h/wish/144133312 marcus_harrison https://padlet.com/williamsaf/cn0rd9a7n44h/wish/144133703 e.e. cummings's poem "in Just", along with much of his work, embodies the Modernist spirit by its usage of improper grammar to reflect dialect. This is shown in how the narrator slurs together names like Eddie and Bill to form "eddieandbill", and Betty and Isabel to make "bettyandisbel", implying he might be an older man, has a strong accent, or is speaking very quickly.]]> 2016-12-16 20:05:34 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsaf/cn0rd9a7n44h/wish/144133703 https://padlet.com/williamsaf/cn0rd9a7n44h/wish/144133875 Helen by h.D. represents a modernism poem through its dark depressing ideas that, unlik contemporary, do not have a sense of hope at the end. Through and through, Helen describes a story "born of love" breeding a hatred so deep that even hundreds of years later, where only the "white face...(and) hands" of a statue remain, "All Greece hates...(and) reviles" "God's daughter." So not only is the modernistic ideals flourishing through the antithesis of love and hate, but it also is ironically revealed in "God's daughter," which, during the time period since religion was very large, addresses the society's beliefs and slaughters them, leaving no room for hope.]]> 2016-12-16 20:06:30 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsaf/cn0rd9a7n44h/wish/144133875 https://padlet.com/williamsaf/cn0rd9a7n44h/wish/144134371 Movement away from religion: "Comforter, where, where is your comforting" reflects the movement away from religion that is associated with modernism. By questioning God's authority, the speaker is distancing himself from traditional religious values and an innate respect for God.]]> 2016-12-16 20:09:46 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsaf/cn0rd9a7n44h/wish/144134371 iamanewtype414 https://padlet.com/williamsaf/cn0rd9a7n44h/wish/144135825 Fragmentation: It's not in the typical linear sequence. The poem is written in free verse and has disjointed syntax that reflects the modernist viewpoint of the speaker.
