Writing Assignment – Art, Expression, & the Great War Directions: Essays should be doubled-spaced, size 12 font, with one-inch margins all around. Essays must be a minimum of 1 page and should be a maximum of 3 pages. All references from the textbook or documents must be cited parenthetically (Tindall, pg) or (Author). All references to the art must be cited parenthetically by an abbreviated title and artist (Wounded, Dix). All references to the memorials must be cited parenthetically by the title (Skeleton Memorial). No bibliography is needed for your essays. The required heading is only your name and a page number in the top right hand corner of each page. Writing Assignment: In the aftermath of the Great War the world changed in extremely dramatic ways. For example, the 19 th Amendment gave women the right to vote which changed the role of women; the "Great Migration" and Harlem Renaissance changed the lives of African-Americans; the advent of radio and the growth of Hollywood shrank the country; and the birth of the age of the automobile made people more mobile and free. Your weekly textbook reading will detail these changes and others during the 1920s and examine their effect on society, while this week's writing assignment will look at the effect of WWI on individuals and society. While the world changed around them, many individuals and cultures were trying to make sense of the pain, suffering, death and destruction wrought by the years of war. Many soldiers expressed themselves during and after the war through poetry, literature, art, and sculpture, and many societies expressed their grief in small and large memorials and cemeteries. The following sources are a collection of several poems, excerpts from literature, and images of works of art and memorials. Read the words and view the images, then write a response paper based on the questions below! Question: Read the following poems, look at the works of art, and examine the memorials created by American, British, Canadian, French, and German soldiers that fought on the Western Front throughout World War I. Discuss how these expressions represent to the world and future generations the nature and impact of the Great War on individuals and society. End your essay by answering the question: If you had to sum up the impact of the Great War in one word, what would that word be? Some of the questions to consider when writing your response are: What do the poems tell us about the experiences of these soldiers? How do the works of art express what the soldiers experienced during the war and how they are dealing with, or not dealing with, that experience? What differences can you see between the European and American perspectives on the war? How do these men view the war and their role therein? What strikes you when reading these poems? You do not need to answer any or all of these specifically, but they might help .

This is a brief look at 3 brave Filipinos, separated by hundreds of years but all fought agains foreign powers and reprsented the country in the world arena of brave men. Filipinos had been under Spain for almost 400 years, under America for almost 45 years, under Japan for 3 years, and under its own aristocratic governements for almost 60 years now. We remember these heroes for fighting for Filipino identity and sovereignity over its land and its people. When will we ever achieve the freedom of our spirit that we have longed for? When will we ever think less of ourselves and more of our country? What will be our contribution as a people of the world? May the memories of these 3 brave men light our paths toward a future where Filipinos stand shoulder to shoulder with the best of the world.

William Gay b. October 27, 1943 d. February 23, 2012 Lewis County, TN * Born in Lewis County, the son of Bessie and Arthur Gay, a sharecropper who also worked at area sawmills. William became a voracious reader at age 12, and began writing at age 15. Graduated from Lewis County High, and joined the U.S. Navy which promised an opportunity to travel. Served a four year tour as a radar operator, his ship making stops in Japan and Vietnam. William returned home in 1965 and found work at a drive-in movie theater near Decatur, Alabama, built pinball machines in Chicago, and was employed at a cardboard box factory in New York. He returned to Lewis County in 1968, and lived there until his death in 2012. William Gay BIOGRAPHY * William Gay BIOGRAPHY Between 1968 and his success as a writer, William worked construction as a painter, carpenter, and dry wall hanger. He continued during that time to write but had no success publishing because he did not know how the game was played. In 1998, William began sending short stories to literary magazines published by universities, rather than to the big publishing houses and national magazines. Almost immediately, two of his short stories were purchased, one by The Georgia Review and another by The Missouri Review. Soon, editors were contacting him and asking about his other work, including novels. For the last years of his life, William concentrated on his writing & painting. * William Gay BIOGRAPHY In a 2001 interview, William said of that time period before he began publishing: “I’ve always felt sort of like in-between things. Like I fit in when I was working construction. I more or less could do my job. I didn’t get fired. I got paid. I could do it. But it was always sort of like working undercover. “Now when I’m meeting academic people and going to these things they have, basically it’s still the same thing. I’m still undercover. “Then, I was sort of a closet intellectual passing as a construction worker. Now, I’m a construction worker passing as an academic. I don’t belong in either place, really.” * William did not like commas, saying they “retard the forward motion of a sentence.” He also did not use quotation marks, a style he picked up from novelist Cormac McCarthy, one of his major influences. William won the Michener award for fiction, and a 2007 Ford Foundation Grant for U.S. Artists, of $50,000. He also wrote extensively about music for national magazines, including Oxford American and Paste. He left two unfinished novels, The Lost Country and The Wreck of the Tennessee Gravy Train, enough unpublished short stories for a second collection, and a novella, Little Sister Death (published September 2015). * Narrator: who is telling the story? First person (I, we, us); Third person omniscient narrator is all-knowing, all revealing of characters; Third person limited omniscient takes us inside the minds of some of characters; Third person object.
