Answer 1

Answer 2

I need one poem that connects or writes about an event in the 1900's

Answer 3

George Orwell was born in India in 1903 but his mother moved him to England when he was just one year old to live with some of their family members. It was in England that he spent the majority of his life, becoming one of the most well read British authors of all time. Orwell has much interest in human nature and politics, which is why social injustice was a common theme in his books. He is most known for "Animal Farm," which was published in 1945 and "1984," which was published in 1949.
Each of these English writers has made a lasting impression on history in the world of literature. Their stories, novels, screenplays, and poetry are housed on the bookshelves of fans worldwide and many of their novels have been turned into wildly successful films. Read those hundred-year-old classics or get excited about what it yet to come from current authors such as J. K. Rowling. With a list as complete as this, there is certainly something for everyone.

Answer 4

example of what is needed
1920: “Rhapsody on a Windy Night” by T.S Eliot
I believe that this was influenced by the Great Depression which was currently happening at the time. After WWI the Great Depression began, Eliot describes this time period in his this poem. Some examples are:
“ A woman in a torn and dusty dress attempting to solicit men”
“Broke springs setting outside a rundown factory.”
“ A cat eating rancid butter because there is no other food.”
“ Eliot even describes the moon as feeble, with washed out cracks in her face.”
During the Great Depression there was a very extreme economic depression throughout the world. Food prices as long as other goods dropped significantly, and Factories shut down. Eliot describes the way that people lived and the desperation people had in that time.
