3. T.S. Eliot is a modernist writer due to his strong word choice. The words in this poem __The Love Song__ are have a lot of emotions attached to them. Words like "murder" and "Indecisions" these words have such strong connotations. Murder gives off the feeling of hatred and anger. Indecisions makes the reader feel like the writer is impatient and inconsiderate, which could be because of his immense anger towards women. Which we see in quote like "In the room the women come and go talking of Michelangelo". For some reason which is unknown the character is portrayed as disliking women. He feels incompetent and self-conscious. The character could even be described as being paranoid. From this quote it seems that the character feels inferior to Michelangelo "talking of Michelangelo" as though Michelangelo is a man and he is not. The resentment reeks off of these words. All of these feelings are proof that writing had changed this is work that only modernist would have done during this time. The author pulls the reader and makes them feel the disgust and anger that the character is conflicting with. It shows how writing actually brings the emotions to life. Where as the writing before was words not emotions. ~Sarah McClelland

4. Existentialism come about due to men needing some freedom. Needing to doubt what they held true and second guess everyone. As Kirk Schneider the author of //The Paradoxical Self// stated "Our greatest challenge today...is to couple conviction with doubt. By conviction, I mean some pragmatically developed faith, trust, or centeredness; and by doubt I mean openness to the ongoing changeability, mystery, and fallibility of the conviction" (Schneider). The "pragmatically developed faith" the faith that was developed in a sensible and realistic way so why would people doubt it. Schneider says that this can change that faith can change and why should just believe everything that they are told. That everything is changing and that the conviction is just an adventure. Yet is was so hard for people during this time to doubt without the fear of conviction, so Schneider was trying to say that conviction should not be feared if people just showed their doubts and actually show them then conviction would be nothing more then an adventure full of trust and true faith. And doubting allowed people to have a mystery and to be open. ~ Sarah McClelland
