Answer 2

All right kid, I'm gonna let you off the hook for this question misplacement just because I know how hard it is to get noticed in the history/literature section.

1) Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, Ralph Ellison, and Langston Hughes are the only black people on that list, but Angelou and Morrison didn't write about the unequal treatment of black people.

2) 1960s poetry was just the beginning of originality. It was the time when you could actually understand what they meant in their lyrics. Not like Doth shall I saveth the day or anything pretentiously equivalent.

3) The Beat Generation basically has the same fate of 1960s poetry. A bunch of guys got together and were like "Hey. You know all that poetry in the past everyone seems to care about? Well, screw that poetry! Let's make something completely different!"

Answer 3

So 4 is Ralph Ellison and Langston Hughes. 5 is It was more traditional. 6 is They started a revival of traditional literature.
Are these correct?

Answer 4

Well actually, 5 is new and inventive because they started a completely new era of poetry, and 6 is that they rejected the literary forms in the past (again, because they started a completely new era)

Answer 5

Ohhh, thanks this really helps me a lot..
Also you said something about this being history, it's actually English though lol. It's a few of the questions I couldn't figure out on my English assignment.

Answer 6

I think this is literature though. English is like "Identify the predicate nominative in this sentence" or "Do the subject and verb agree in this sentence?" Stuff like that.

Answer 7

Yea, it's part of my English course though.

Answer 8

Well that's odd. Well no matter, we got through this together!
