The French Revolution, the "Romantic Era"

The French Revolution, “the Romantic” Era was a very interesting and complex section. It was filled with distress, oppression, depression, love, hatred, and revenge. The French Revolution was a time of change for a corrupt and inefficient government that kept a certain social class oppressed, impoverished, and bound. Through this entire revolution, the writers from this particular time frame were very much influenced by the experiences that they encountered at some point in their lives. The biographies or the introductions that are given before each excerpt helped me to understand the situation and the attitude as well as the emotions of each of the writers. It was through their personal experiences and opinions that inspired the shared letters, poetry, and articles of love, dedication and romance. These shared works influenced and inspired other on coming writers in this Romantic Era. This era’s works continues to live even now and quoted by other writers like the famous quote by Thomas Paine, “These are the times that try men’s soul”.

My Introduction

Hi, my name is KeeKwak Holloway, but I prefer to be called Kee-Kee. I am a student at the Douglas Regional Center in Atlanta and this is my first on-line course experience. I am currently employed as a Custodial Para-Professional in the Atlanta Public Schools System.I have no children or husband, but it looks very promising in the near future. The purpose of me taking this course was to increase my chances of graduating in December of 2007 after I changed my major this past Fall Session. I am willing to sacrifice my summer for the completion of my degree so here I am. My expectations for this class are pretty simple. I plan to explore an area of Literature that is relatively new to me. I am curious about the language and tone used, as well as the things that inspired the writer like a broken heart, or a new love, etc. The only anxiety that I have about this class is the amount of work and the amount of time given to prepare and have it submitted by the deadline.
