what i want to know about my topic

i would learn to love everything but as we all know that's impossible.
1.how did WWI affect American lit.
2. what impact did the Harlem Renaissance have during this time?
3. Who was most popular during this time
4. How did it change.
5. What type of new things came about during this time.
6. Who was discovered at this time.

What I already know about my topic

Hmm mainly I know NOTHING!!! I know that American literature goes way past the civilnwar and all them old times. I have many questioins but hardly any answers. I'm looking forward to learning many new interesting things but also some new boring things. I believe I will find how and how not intriguing American lit can and can not be.

Story behind my topic choice

As a young high schooler, I have learned the English language is the hardest to learn. So this made me start thinking about how modern American literature was just a couple of yeas ago. It made all type of questions go through my head. So many like is everything still the same, who made the rule? How do you even come upnwith the rules and even how was it so many questions came about in my head. My head felt likeba train had hit me with all these questions and no answers. I also wondered when my great grandmother and grandfather were in high school did they have the same standards we have now, or is American literature changed over so many years.
