What I would like to know about my topic.

There are many questions I have about this time period. It's hard to narrow all of them down in five simple questions. The main question is "How influential the Encounter and Foundation time period of literature was?" If I had to break down this question into five smaller ones, they would be:

1. What events were described in this literature?
2. How well known were the authors?
3. What was the most common style of literature?
4. What would of happen if these documents were not written?
5. How did literature influence the way of living?

What I know about my Topic.

I do not know much about this topic, but what I do know that many important events happen during this time. Such as the discovery of the new world, and the creation of the new country. The events were greatly reflected in the time period's literature. Literature from this period greatly influenced modern events all over the world. From a pamphlet called Common Sense to the great Declaration of Independence, this era may be the most important involving history. Who wouldn't want to know more?

The story behind my topic

The Encounters and Foundations Era was an important part of American history. The Era was in-between the 16th and 19th centuries, where every little thing had a major impact on today's lifestyle. One thing I discovered was that literature and history go hand and hand. So, "How did the history of the era affect it's .literature,or vice versatile" is a very interesting question to me. It's an awesome question that deserves to be answered!
