Reflection For Unit Plan 2 3/18/11

So far in British Lit, through blogging and Diigo, I have taken a great interest in looking up the history behind books, and what prompted the writer to choose the plot and premise for the book. With poems, I am learning how to analyze more, and discover the deeper, more understandable meaning behind the words. It's really interesting to see how many different time periods their were, but I'm wondering exactly what, makes them so different from each other? What promoted the end of one period to the start of another? Yes, since I have the questions, I'm going to have to find the answer somewhere...
