AND AMERICAN LITERATURE

1. How do these literary and movement influence the society?

The American social and literary movement is a significant group of poets that
composed poems about social life and how individuals live their lives in such a
meaningful way that people feel emancipated in modern society. The world around
them has inspired authors, and their work reflects this. The Beat generation also paved
the way for numerous key developments, including the hippie and anti-war movements,
as well as increased sensory awareness. The beats also advocates and found the
happiness and purposefulness of modern society sufficient justification for both
withdrawal and protest. These movements influence society through the literary works
that beats transform poetry into an expression of genuine lie experience.

2. Make a book review on either “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” or “You can’t go home” by
Thomas Wolfe.
Uncle Tom's Cabin has a long and illustrious history. Focusing on the plight of
African American slaves in antebellum America, it was credited by Abraham Lincoln
with sparking the American Civil War, and it is easy to see why, even today: the
incredible legacy is matched by the fantastic plot, which follows the irresistibly loveable
character Uncle Tom through his trials and tribulations under various slave owners, as
well as the intertwined lives of various other slaves. It's no surprise that the novel had
such an impact on the people of the time, as it was both fascinating and devastating.
Faith, and especially its resistance to be shaken, is one of the book's most pervasive
themes. The inspirational character Tom's strong faith is portrayed throughout the story,
and the way in which his faith remains unbroken despite all of his trials has had a
profound impact on me as a reader. The novel is full of poignant passages that
demonstrate Tom's great and unwavering faith in God till the very end. The contrast
between the other characters' abilities to trust and hope is particularly striking; unlike
Tom, they allow themselves to be overcome by the pessimism of their surroundings.
The stormy and winding plot makes for a true page-turner, and the journeys
made by the novel's key protagonists are beautifully paralleled in terms of hope. When
one character's sense of optimism for a new life and new beginning triumphs over
another's heartbreaking loss of hope, the result is bittersweet, and one can't help but
wish Beecher Stowe had written a sequel.
Of course, the central issue of slavery, which runs throughout the work, is a truly
distressing lesson in world history, not just in the United States. We learn about perhaps
the most damaging effects of the "peculiar institution" through Beecher Stowe's eyes –
not the physical punishment the slaves receive, nor the loss of the fundamental human
right to liberty, but the separation of families and loved ones, a cruel reminder of the
slaves' dehumanized treatment.
