Questions for Consideration How did language change from the 16th century to the 20th century? How did important events and people alter the content of literature? What connections can you make across time periods? Do any of these works remind you of one another? What are the similarities/difference? How was writing used as a method for social change? (or at least exposing follies or injustices) How does the acquisition of knowledge, education, and/or experience often coincide with loss/pain/suffering? Explain using one of the works we’ve read this semester. Why is satire an effective method for engaging readers? How did England’s position as a world power/imperialism influence the writers of the times? Questions for Consideration
