I'M IGNITED

Is life an illusion?  Do dreams mean something? Why is the government hiding from us? These questions really appealed to me because we will never know about it during our lifetime.

THE WORLD IS MY LIBRARAY

The jungle is a novel that I found. The 2 short stories I found were Rip Van Winkle and the Lottery. The novel appealed to me because I heard my history teachers talk about it and it interested me because the conditions back than were very harsh especially in the factories. The Rip Van Winkle story really interested me from the summary it had about it. It's about a man that falls asleep for 20 years and when he wakes up he has missed the American Revolution. The American Revolution was historical and missing that would be such a trip. I picked The Lottery because it was described as one of the most famous American literature short stories, that right there just appealed to me.

American Literature

American literature is written words with meaning that associate with American culture. They describe the history of  "Americans" and their wisdom. I contribute to this by be an American and learning about American literature, I could also see it from a different perspective with my parents.
