children. The article comes together at the end and the history lesson Heffernan goes into and her opinion on how conversations are not well kept, do not seem so randomly placed. Heffernan is able to tie together her whole article by her thesis, “Escapism is great, and submission and denial, too, have their places. But sound…

Some examples of positive escapism were, going to the movies, attending sporting events such as boxing and horse races, and listening to the radio if people were lucky enough to have one (ushistory.org). Such things took peoples minds away from the problems they would soon have to face after their movie or event was over, it distracted people in a positive way. But there were more than just positive forms of escapism; the more delinquent group of the Great Depression participated…

themselves in separate eras of literary writing. Poe known for Romanticism, and Whitman known for Transcendentalism leading into Realism. While their writings held similarities such as reverence for nature and the individual, Poe focused more on an escapism world for his readers rather than Whitman, who focused on the details of everyday and urban life. These two authors exemplify the major shift in national thinking during the 19th century, exiting the 18th century and entering the 20th.…
