1. Modernism is what is going on right now what is happening in recent time and the time being. Its like US history and US Government.US History is what happened in the past years to our but US Government is what is going on right now and what is happening to our country right now. Modernism is our current character how we act now and not how we acted in the past or how we used to at in the past. Modernism is what is going on daily, for instance what is going on the news and all the war and president stuff any social issues i guess. If you are doing a tradition that is the exact opposite of modernism because you are doing something the same every year or however long. To be modern would to stop celebrating your birthday and start celebrating somebody death which would be really awkward. So to be modern is to do something or hear or deal with something new all the time. -Scott Goff

= = 3. In the poem The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock by T.S. Eliot was very Modernist because the man in the poem was constantly doing something different or nothing at all and he takes life as it goes. He doesn’t ever really do anything new but he is never doing anything the same and he wants to stop this. For instance he says "There will be time to murder and create." Which means he will do something then stop as in "murder" it and he will "create" something as in do something new. Also it’s not just that he wants to do something else but he is the only one who is always doing something different he is always with a different girl. He is the one who is always different that why it says "half-deserted streets" because he is alone on being modern on being different. Which the girls in this poem can show his modernism they are always who the guy is with he is the one with different women all the time and he can’t find love. They can show the modernism because modernism is always doing something new and he is always with different women but they never really like him. That how this poem can show modernism is mainly through the guy’s life of always being in a different place with a different girl. -Scott Goff

4. Existentialism are the conditions of someone's existence, but not how people think, it is how people act and feel of being a human. There are three stages of Existentialism and how we can show existentialism. "Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance." This is a big part of Existentialism because one of the three stages is wondering why we exist in the world, it is wondering why we are here and what your purpose is. Once that is recognized it is wondered why we are thrown in a world we can not control, why do we have a purpose if we can not control it. But before both of those we must first cut our self from the world and we can not get any help from anything we must not take. Then after that we must take our own responsibility we must go with our own nature and values. So in the quote it is saying we have no purpose until we can find one and once we find one we die by chance with a purpose. -Scott Goff
