Modern Literature and its Impact on Culture In general, modernism or modern literature can be described as a radical shift from traditional forms to the use of new and innovative ways of expression (Ashton 14).

The term modern literature describes the creative outcome of thinkers, artists, and scholars who realized the traditional forms of expression were becoming obsolete based on the new social, cultural, and economic situations. Modern literature can be traced at the beginning of the twentieth century and roughly through 1965 (Ashton 14).

Student’s Name: Professor’s Name: Course: Date: Tell the Truth but tell it slant The use of literary devices functions to convey or create the overall meaning of a poem. Moreover, the poetic literary elements are tools that explain, illuminate on the primary ideologies of the poem, or intensifies the mood or emotions. The spirit or feelings of the poem can be quickly intensified by using these language devices that mimic or repeat the literal meanings. Mostly, when these devices are used in moderation, they impact how the poem effectively reflects on the authors’ beliefs.

Short Story and Poetry Questions Question one: Poetry is a type of writing that involves the use of art and is meant to provoke the reader’s emotions and imagination. Attachment one is a poem based on my definition because the text “a leaf falls in loneliness” makes one try to imagine what its true meaning is. Furthermore, it triggers an emotion of loneliness. According to my experience of reading poetic works, I have learned that poets create texts that have hidden meanings in it. This way, the reader will try to find the meaning of the passages through imagination and the involvement of emotions. For instance, the literal meaning of the text in attachment one can be: once a person who has been on top (higher status) in the society falls, there is a chance that the people will start avoiding him and eventually become lonely.
