American Authors        

Who was/is this person?

         

     What did/do they write about?  How did American society influence their writing?

   

Why is it important?  

 

Research is all about asking questions and finding answers to them.

 

To find the answers you need to find and read more than one source.  Why?  because everyone has a bias and you need to combine the information and find the answers to your questions.
