Answer 2

The European writers have read in this unit seem to have slightly different concerns that from those of writers from the Americas. Other writers from the Americas seem to focus more on conflicts with individuals. In the short story“Dogs Don’t Bark” we see a conflict between father and son. Or in “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” we see conflict come against Huck and his buddy Jim.However, European writers seem to have more of a concern with conflicts as a whole group or nation; most of the European works in this unit has been political in some way. Both “Rhinoceros” and “And Yet the Books” are about Europe under Nazi power. “The Nobel Prize” is also about Russia under censorship and taking away the freedom of speech. While other authors focus on the individual, Europe thinks of the whole or group.
