“The great works of Modernism live amidst the tools of modern relativism, skepticism, and hope for secular change; but they balance on the sensibility of transition, often holding in suspension the forces that persist from the past and those that grow from the novel present. They turn on ambiguous images: the city as a new possibility and an unreal fragmentation; the machine, a novel vortex of energy, and a destructive implement; the apocalyptic moment itself, the blast or explosion that purges and destroys-- . . . . It is the image of art holding transition and chaos, creation and de-creation, in suspension which gives the peculiar concentration and sensibility of Modernist art—gives it what one of the contributors in this volume calls its ‘Janus-faced’ quality.” (Bradbury 46)
Please use today's lab time to find your seventh and eighth secondary sources. These sources might explore one or more of your primary sources or they might examine another topic: your author's life; a concept important to your thesis; historical events that relate to what you've read, etc.
If you already have these sources, then please continue grouping and organizing evidence for your outline.
