Contemporary arts

Show
how contemporary arts (modern and post-modern–Chapter 21 and 22) are
examples of social commentary OR a rejection of tradition by selecting
one representative work from each of the disciplines (art, literature
AND music). Explore how each example shows one or the other
characteristic by using specific examples taken from the work itself,
using quotations from the sources below and in-text parenthetical
references to support your position. You do not need to limit yourself
to only one of the characteristics (social commentary and rejection of
tradition in the arts), but may select the paragraph focus based on each
representative work you choose.
Your
response should be 500-750 words. Be sure to support your response with
specific examples taken from Chapter 21 & 22 in your textbook, the
Listening Guides, and the Module 3 & 4 interactive guides. Answers
should be detailed and specific with reference to particular lines of
literature/poetry/lyrics where applicable. Unsupported answers will
receive little or no credit, and vague answers will be graded down. DO
NOT USE OTHER SOURCES than those listed above.

Document
quotations and paraphrases (MLA format), and include a Works Cited
page. DO NOT USE OUTSIDE SOURCES OTHER THAN THOSE PROVIDED ON
BLACKBOARD. Follow standard essay format (thesis, supporting
paragraphs—one for each discipline—and conclusion) to make it easier.
