Why were American authors undervalued by literary critics in the early twentieth century? American literature was not taught at the university level.
American authors had not published work of literary merit.
American authors were generally amateur and not professional writers.
American literature had not developed any lasting tradition.

getting ready for work:

i sit up in bed, the time is 6: 15.

i go in the bathroom and take a long hot shower and brush my teeth.

i get dressed then grab my keys and open the door, then i realize it is raining so i go back   and get an umbrella.

when i get in my car it has very little gas and right when i get there my car runs out of gas.

when i get inside i am fired for being late.

i hope this i spent an hour on this.
