This unit we’re working is about 19th century European literature. For this unit we have to do a multimedia project about what we have been learned by ourselves which is also what we’re interested in instead of just reading the article on the book. This project in some way helps us have a better understanding of the 19th century European literature.

For the project, Daphne and I are working together. Our mean idea is Romanticism vs. Realism. So what we have discussed is that we can present one side and show their characteristics. I will present the Realism side and Daphne will present the Romanticism side. From what we have been doing for the past few days, I find that the realism is more focused on the people’s daily life especially the farmers. Many of the paintings show the scenes of farmers working.

Then we decided we will focus on the “How did Romanticism lead to the emergence of Realism” .
