“To Build a Fire” by Jack London

Where We’ve Been During unit 1 we took at look at: –Native American Literature –Literature of the Early Settlers (Puritan, Colonial, etc) –Revolutionary Literature –Romanticism (including Transcendentalism) –Realism

Historical Context 1861: Civil War begins 1862: Homestead Act to encourage westward expansion Late 1860s-1870s: Reconstruction 1880s: Major Changes in Way of Life –Electricity, phone, cars, motion pictures, etc –Sees a lower quality of living (low wages, long hours, child labor, etc) 1890s: “Frontier” is gone KNOWN AS “GILDED AGE” See page for more context

This Brings Us To: Romanticism (1820s-1860s) –Backlash to the strict religious doctrine and societal expectations set by early settlers –Value individualism, creativity, and being true to yourself Realism/Naturalism (1850s-1910s) –Backlash to the wide, sweeping changes in the face of the country (industrialization, urbanization, war, etc) Realism and Naturalism

Realism “Real life,” ordinary people Honest, objective, factual Loneliness and isolation of prairie life Small town life Realists, after seeing the devastation and tragedy of war, no longer saw the point of “sugar coating” or focusing on only ideals. Focus on REALITY!

Naturalism A branch of Realism A fascination with things humans can not control –Nature –Blind Faith –Heredity –Chance A parallel to American life –Urbanization –Mechanization –Anonymity
