//Modernism is a form of modern thought and way of life. Modernism is how we live today in the modern world. Its art, its music, its many things its culture. It is today's culture and also tomorrow. Its is beetles for our parents and avenged sevenfold for our for us. Gears of War to their children. Its what old people like to say what is wrong with this new generation and what we say is the changing of the times. Its modern.//
 * 1)** **What is modernism?**

-Amalia Gradillas
 * 3)** In this poem T.S Eliot wrote about how he feels alone all of the time, and how he feels that women are always judging him, no matter how hard he tries to impress and hide his age. This is modernism because this is how modernists felt. They felt that they were always alone, different from the "norm" of society. They always felt that there was something that excludes them making them feel alienated. Just in this case of T.S Eliot his specific feeling of alienation was connected to how he felt about women. He felt that they were not going to fall for a man past his years of prime age. This is an excerpt fromT.S Eliot's poem will show you modernism, //"But though I have wept and fasted, wept, and prayed, Though I have seen my head [grown slightly bald] brought in upon a platter, am no prophet-- and here's no great matter. I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker, and I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker, and in short, I was afraid."// In this quote it talks about his fear of old age. He doesnt feel the same, he feels alienated. Separated to left to be condemned of old age with no women there to love him. This connects to modernism because like stated before, it reflects how the author felt alone and socially isolated. The writer also turns "inward"...often expressing feelings and thoughts of despair. Which can also be found in that quote. So in the end, the poem is the reflection of modernism, having all of its characteristics.

Existentialism is a very selfish form of living and belief. It is determined by how you choose to see things in life. If you know what it is like to truly like to be "free". It is freedom of your thought and a way for supposedly true happiness. Existentialist full heartily believe in existence. The believe if they are here and they think and comprehend then they must exist. They officially could care less about anyone else except themselves.They dont do anything unless it personally makes them happy. Not if society tells them that it should make them feel good. A existentialist named Descartes said "I think therefore I must exist". This is the main sum of what existentialism is based on. They done believe in the essence, They believe that just in their existence that they are living, that they exist. They didnt want to make it easy for everyone to become and existentialist. Your must complete certain ways of thought before you can acheive such a title. -Amalia Gradillas
