Explanation:

Question #9

Native American literature from that period was mainly passed down through the oral tradition. Before the arrival of Europeans, Native Americans did not have a widespread written language system in the same sense as European - based ones. Journals, poems (in a written - down sense as we know in modern, more literate cultures), and sermons (in the traditional Christian sense) were not the primary means. Oral storytelling, chants, etc., were used to pass down their cultural knowledge, myths, and histories.

Modernist literature is more concerned with themes such as the breakdown of traditional values, the inner psychological world of characters, and experimentation with form. The role of government and individual freedoms is more of a theme in political or social - commentary literature in general, not a defining characteristic of Modernist literature. Modernist works like T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land focus more on spiritual decay and fragmented narratives rather than on the role of government and individual freedoms.

The oral tradition
