Reflection

During this lecture we discussed Post Modernism. I leaned that today we are in Post Modernism and we talked about the characteristics that compose this time. When we were discussing this we related it to literature and it really shows how Literature is in fact a product of its time period.  Some of the literature that we related to the time period where “The Storm” and “Interpreter of Maladies”. I feel that I took a lot away from this lecture because I leaned about our current time period and then we related it to pieces of literature which really solidified the concepts we learned in class.
