Think about the modern texts you read for this unit. in your opinion, what makes literature “good” or “bad”? how comfortable are you in determining the quality of literature? do you find it easy to critique a text? if not, what do find difficult? how does your comfort level change depending on the genre and the era in which the text was written?

Hello.

Modernist literature was a predominantly English genre of fiction writing, popular from roughly the 1910s into the 1960s. I think it's subjective to say what makes literature good or bad, because everyone one of us has their own opinion and it's different from other's. However, I do believe that it all depends on what you are grading, what u are looking for... If you like the plot of a book, then it's a good one; if you like the author's style, then he is a good writer; and, if the whole book catched u, then you will love it!

I don't think it's easy to critique a text, because writing it's a very difficult procces, and there are many things that we have to take into account when critiquing a text... opinions can vary according to the one who critiques it.

We have also to know that the way of grading a text changes as long as its genre and time of written does: the world is always envolving and changing, and writing and literature do so.

Hope to give u a light of hope.
