  • Veronica Arroyo English 112B Dr. Warner Spring 2015 Annotated Bibliography: Social Awareness Through Literature Social Issues Transcend from Generation to Generation
    Veronica Arroyo English 112B Dr. Warner Spring 2015 Annotated Bibliography: Social Awareness through Literature Social issues transcend from generation to generation. Though social movements fighting for civil rights, women’s liberation/equality, and L.G.B.T. rights have made drastic steps towards a more inclusive community, much still needs to be done in order to bring about a more unity and tolerance. Growing up issues of race and gender inequalities were always present, but the discussions of these issues always seemed limited to one perspective or ruled by the notions of what is appropriate and inappropriate to address. While I was creating the reading list for my annotated bibliography, I decided to incorporate works of literature that throw you deep into social issues and allow you to explore the effects that they had during their respective time periods and how echoes of these issues are still present. In an attempt to bring social awareness and understanding to future generations I believe that it is vital to expose students to works of literature that bring to light various social issues, while still engaging them in the literature and encouraging them to reflect on how those issue are still present today. While I was compiling my ideal reading list that I would teach to my future high school students, I found myself leaning towards more traditional or canonical works of literature that I felt had a great impact on my sense of social awareness as a young adult. While these book can seem “dated” to today’s reader I feel that the themes and issues that they bring forth are still very relevant.

  • READING JOHN STEINBECK ^ Jboctor of $Iitldfi
    DECONSTRUCTING AMERICA: READING JOHN STEINBECK ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF ^ JBoctor of $IitlDfi;opI)p IN ENGLISH \ BY MANISH SINGH UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. MADIHUR REHMAN DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2013 Abstract The first chapter of the thesis, "The Path to Doom: America from Idea to Reality;'" takes the journey of America from its conception as an idea to its reality. The country that came into existence as a colony of Great Britain and became a refuge of the exploited and the persecuted on one hand and of the outlaws on other hand, soon transformed into a giant machine of exploitation, persecution and lawlessness, it is surprising to see how the noble ideas of equality, liberty and democracy and pursuit of happiness degenerated into callous profiteering. Individuals insensitive to the needs and happiness of others and arrogance based on a sense of racial superiority even before they take root in the virgin soil of the Newfoundland. The effects cf this degenerate ideology are felt not only by the Non-White races within America and the less privileged countries of the third world, but even by the Whites within America. The concepts of equality, freedom, democracy and pursuit of happiness were manufactured and have been exploited by the American ruling class.The first one to experience the crawling effects of the Great American Dream were original inhabitants of America, the Red Indians and later Blacks who were uprooted from their home and hearth and taken to America as slaves.

    Unlikely Transfusions: Wise Blood and The Grapes of Wrath John D. Seelye Steinbeck Studies, Volume 15, Number 1, Spring 2004, pp. 41-45 (Article) Published by The Martha Heasley Cox Center for Steinbeck Studies DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/stn.2004.0022 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/172420 [ This content has been declared free to read by the pubisher during the COVID-19 pandemic. ] UNLIKELY TRANSFUSIONS: WISE BLOOD AND THE GRAPES OF WRATH JOHN SEELYE THE LIST OF AMERICAN AUTHORS whose novels are in- debted for situations and materials (and popularity) to the novels and stories of John Steinbeck is impressive, from Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea to Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings’s The Yearling and Mary O’Hara’s My Friend Flicka. I would like to add Flannery O’Connor’s Wise Blood, a text clearly inspired by the surreal ironies of Nathaniel West and one that would seem to be whole worlds apart from the re- alistic, empathetic zone created by Steinbeck. Indeed, I had been teaching both Wise Blood and Of Mice and Men in an un- dergraduate course on the novella for a year or two before the possibility of a connection became clear, not with the story of Lennie and George but with the much more ambitious epic of the Joad family. Tom Joad’s return home from a stretch in prison for manslaughter is a memorable beginning for Steinbeck’s novel, starting with his angry response to a truck driver’s curiosity and ending as he stands in front of the Joad house, abandoned in the wake of the great dust storms of the Depression years in Okla- homa.

  • American Literature in Transition, 1930–1940 Edited by Ichiro Takayoshi Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-42938-2 — American Literature in Transition, 1930–1940 Edited by Ichiro Takayoshi Frontmatter More Information AMERICAN LITERATURE IN TRANSITION, 1930–1940 American Literature in Transition, 1930–1940 gathers together in a single volume preeminent critics and historians to offer an author- itative, analytic, and theoretically advanced account of the Depression era’s key literary events. Many topics of canonical importance, such as protest literature, Hollywood fiction, the culture industry, and popu- lism, receive fresh treatment. The book also covers emerging areas of interest, such as radio drama, bestsellers, religious fiction, interna- tionalism, and middlebrow domestic fiction. Traditionally, scholars have treated each one of these issues in isolation. This volume situates all the significant literary developments of the 1930s within a single and capacious vision that discloses their hidden structural relations – their contradictions, similarities, and reciprocities. This is an excellent resource for undergraduate and graduate students, and for scholars interested in American literary culture of the 1930s. ichiro takayoshi teaches modern American literature and social thought at Tufts University. He is the author of American Writers and the Approach of World War II, 1935–1941: A Literary History (Cambridge University Press, 2015) and editor of American Literature in Transition, 1920–1930 (Cambridge University Press, 2017).
