Evaluate Blog Project Status

My project has been off to a difficult start. I can say though that the actual website Blogger has been working well. I have been having techinical isses with the website Animoto and the technology I have been using in general. Two things I could do to help is to stay away from iPads and work on my patience with the computer.

What I Want to Know About My Topic

What is The Contemporary Period? What range of time is considered the Contemporary Period? How has the Contemporary Period contributed to literature? What are the names of some important people during this time period and why? What has led literature and other forms of the arts to develop from what they were to what they are now in the Contemporary Period? Was there anywhere in the world that contributed to the Contemporary Period more than others?

What I Already Knew About My Topic

I already know some things about The Contemporary Period because I am living in a portion of it. Even by the short time I've been here I have seen how books, movies, plays, and music have changed and developed into what they are now. Although, The Contemporary Period's time ranges allot further in time since I've been around. Therefore, I have many unanswered questions.

The Story Behind My Topic Choice

Have you ever wondered what happened to all the great writers like Shakespeare and all the Old English literature? Books, movies, plays, and music today are nothing like what they used to be. As I started to grow more interested, my research began. "What makes this era, The Contemporary Period, so special?" I asked myself. I have led myself on to a journey full of questions waiting to be answered.
