What was writing like while the Indian Removal Act was going on? The Trail of Tears? Revolt in the young United States? Writing during the 1800’s reflected what was going on at the time. What was going on at that time you may ask, war was going on. War in a country battling other forces and themselves, all while attempting to set up a functioning government. Take the famous writer Edgar Allan Poe for example, most of his works reflect the war and devastation going on in the 1800’s, including some of his most famous works like “The Raven”, “Annabel Lee”, and “Ulalume” which all fall into a literary time period known as American Gothicism. “Ulalume” by Edgar Allan Poe is a wonderful example of the Gothicism Time Period due to its use of the characteristics of gloomy settings, intense emotions, and mythology.

In any case, what the film "Snowpiercer". The term typical man infers the standard individual. A man who obliges his family, works persistently, and is a general superior to anything normal man. To develop this term, it suggests a man that could possibly be your friend or a man you would offer advantages for if he required them. This is crucial in light of the fact that it exhibits that they are not on the backwards of the battle since they detest each other however since they ought to stay by their country and suit their families or themselves.
