1. Modernism is the act of change, putting someone's thoughts into form. The definition of Modernism is modern character or quality of thought, expression, or technique. Modernism effects religion, social life, and literature. It just a life of updates and upgrades. Modernism is extreme due to how drastically it changes peoples lives and culture of things. Modernism also changes traditional art to something totally different. It takes what we already have and jumps out of our boundaries and just turns it around into something so different. Not everyone likes change but with the way we live our lives day to day, with so many thoughts its kind of hard to stop changes. Modern is everyday, every thought and right now.

3. In the poem the love song of j. Alfred Prufrock it shows so much modernism through so many different words and phrases. The few main phrases that lead me to believe it was of modern were "And I have known the eyes already, known them all--", "and I have known the arms already, known them all--." The reason why those two quotes lead me to believe this poem was modernist was because he was basically saying that he already knows how everything happens when he mets a new girl. They all just show the same signs of being uninterested, they same signs of dislike, the same signs of just wanting a one night stand. Therefore he is trying to get across that all he wants is to find that someone that wont take him for granite and love him. He is sick of all the games and just wants to settle down somewhere he is happy and wants someone to share his happiness with. "Its impossible to say just what I mean" He is trying to say he knows what he wants he is just so used to the old he cant figure out how to change and make with the new. He is growing so old and he has been doing the same thing for all his life, he needs and wants a change he just cant figure out how to make that change. All he can do it wait and pray for something new to happen.

4. Existentialism is existence that is the fact or state of living, essence that is having an essence meant that human beings could be placed within a larger whole that provided the standard for human flourishing. There are multiple fathers of existentialism and they are Martin Heidegger, Sören Kierkegaard, Fredrich Hletzche, Jean-paul Sartre, and Albert Camus. Existentialist believe that existence precedes essence, Sören "the single idividual" said "the Question of existence come at the moment of conflict between ethics and religious faith."
