How does the violence and trauma of World War I and World War II affect the cultural production of Modernism and Post-Modernism?

9 pts—You must have a thesis statement, of a few sentences, that directly answers the interpretive question that is posed. This thesis statement must appear at the beginning of your response (within your introductory paragraph) and you MUST underline your thesis statement. If you do not write and identify a thesis statement (by underlining it) that directly answers the question, you will lose 9 points on your response. This is important because the thesis gives direction and shape to your paper. If you have no point to prove, you really have not responded to the interpretive question.

21 pts—After you have an underlined thesis that answers the question directly, you must name 3 pieces of evidence that support your thesis statement. You must get your evidence from the websites recommended in the Syntopical Course Guide. Each piece of primary evidence must be in bold and include the website where you found this evidence. Evidence includes actual pieces of art, architecture, literature, music, and philosophical and religious texts that are referred to in each chapter. After you site each piece of textual evidence you should spend 5-7 sentences analyzing your evidence and explaining how the evidence you have chosen proves your point (your thesis). For each of the three pieces of primary evidence that you name in bold, include the website, and analyze in 5-7 sentences, you will receive 7 pts.
