I like how you spent a while summarizing the story too. Your tale represented modernism because it was an irrational tale, as where mine was modernistic because it was not the norm then. They both went against what was popular in the previous literary period.
Both of our stories dealt with psychological problems. Even though they were different ideas they still related to the ideas of Freud. The irrational story line made your story different than mine.
Something that stood out to me was that your story was related so directly to the Great Depression, while mine had no connection to a significant timeline, and that is unique for a Modernism piece, since they usual are distant to historical events, but it was their "present". Our videos were similar in that, when the woman was dancing with the scarecrow, she refused to recognize it wasn't real. That was a significant characteristic of Modernism, which was used heavily in my story, as well.
This poem is interesting to hear about because it is different from all of the other poems on our list. I have seen a lot of works that are about love, so seeing something that deals more with mental state of minds is nice. You did a good job connecting the ideas of modernism to the literary work.
To compare our poems, mine was more about the perceptions of mother nature and the idea that "All things are relative," while yours is the irrational experience of a slave. The thing that stuck out to me was that it expressed the time of the Great Depression and I had not yet seen a poem that was not entirely focused on a relationship between two things.
You mentioned that your poem written during the Depression era of the Modernism literary period; my poem was also written during the same period, which is why they share many characteristics. Your poem was mainly focused on the Great Depression aspect, while mine was more on the Harlem Renaissance. Great video.
The only similarity our works share is that both our stories use many metaphors and images, but that's about it. While my poem had nothing to do with the modern characteristic about writing about the sub-conscious, I think that it was good to bring the point forward; a thing I have yet to see.
