| These are difficult times. Though the United States of America are considered leaders in Democracy, hundreds of people make a wrong use and/or abuse laws. Those who pay are, mostly, people in the margins (the poor, the ill, women, the old and children). In this literary period (XXth and XXIst century) humankind have been witnessed to two World Wars, and hundreds of "pseudo wars" according to certain leaders. Students should understand the impact all these Wars have made on other humanbeings. It is no wonder that we have the so-called "Lost Generation". I would like students to use that socio historic knowledge to look at the lives of the writers and/or many of the protagonist in a totally different light. And learn from it. | C4 |

| Be able to put into practice their linguistic and literary knowledge. Given the lack of time, students should learn to communicate their ideas in public, and work in groups. This team work help them to organize task, distribute time, and choose the tools they will use to prepare their oral presentation. This is also a wonderful opportunity to hear about a book that it is NOT in the list, and to see how class-mates react to them through their own personal readings. | A15 |
