Question

Complete the Timeline of Early 20th Century American Literature by adding ONE literary title (short story, novel, or poem) and ONE influential event for that literary title for each of the decades listed. You will also need to explain how the two pieces are connected. You should be able to complete this as you read through the lesson, filling in events on your timeline, however you may also use outside sources if you would like. You should have a total of eight events on your timeline before submitting it to your instructor.

Answer 1

A decade would be either 1901 to 1910 OR 1910 to 1919 when given just one year. It does not define if these are start or end years. But by the very meaning of the word decade, especially in reference to a timeline, it in no way means year. Your teacher either does not get the question or is not explaining it well. And I have looked at a few timelienes. I do not see 1910 itself as a very event filled year.
