    John Kennedy Toole can be, in my opinion, described as one of the most brilliant- and tragic- authors of the 20th century. He is most famous for the novel A Confederacy of Dunces, which won a posthumous Pulitzer.

We know the resolution before we even know who our protagonist is, or why he is running away. Quickly, however, he reflects on his life and we learn about him, how he got there, and how he grew up.…

    The time period I chose was The Great Depression from 1829- 1839. This was the deepest and longest-lasting economic downturn in the history of the Western industrialized world. The Great Depression caused massive levels of poverty, hunger, unemployment and political unrest. Also during this time was the Dust Bowl, which was when severe dust storms came through the United States causing droughts, which prevented farming. I chose four books for this project that I thought showed what it was like to go through the Great Depression.…
