Finding paragraph #2

The Contemporary Period has contributed a lot the literature we know today. Over the years, literature has evolved along with the people during this era. "The study of contemporary culture reverses this equation as a part of the same pedagogical approach by regarding the present as part of history" (Contemporary Period). Examples of authors and poets during this time frame would be Robert Hayden, Alice Walker, and  Tato Laviera. Robert Hayden always wrote for a general literate audience, not exclusively or even primarily for a black audience. The issue of audience for him relates to the issue of the role of a poet (Contemperary Period). The narrative voice in Alice Walker's stories is deceptively informal and uneducated.The reader must put aside assumptions about her speech and learn from her on her own terms (Contemporary Period). Tato Laviera was a African American writer during the era of Contemporary Literature and focused mainly of African American Literature.
