Consider the changes in literary style during the modern era. Modernist writers explored new literary techniques, such as free verse, and broke from traditional literary customs. Research a writer from the modern era and describe the writer's literary style and technique.

Why do you think American writers of subsequent literary periods often choose to break from traditions and seek more freedom in their artistic expression? Are writers justified in challenging the artistic status quo? Why or why not?

American writers often break from literary tradition because, the audience always wants something new, surprising, unusual, etc. Like anything else on this world Authors change. I believe that writers are justified in challenging the status quo because literacy is an art, and like any kind of art it evolves and changes creating new things. Any attempt to stop change is simply wrong and insult against creativity.
