I have to say the beat's generation of the 1960's was very interesting towards me because it showed the life style of some people chose to rebel againts what was the norm during that time by writing raunchy poetry,heavy drug use,making cartoons of life during that time and bassicly going on a spirtiualistic quest in san fransisco. Thats why this assigment appealed to me because of the life style they chose and what from we talked about in class like the howl and phcydelic pictures, i was able to uncover a lot more about poems and articles and important people we did not cover and it was very interesting.
First off one of the thing's that took my interest was some people who bassicly were influntial towards the all the beatniks and the culture they had especially one man who was gregory corso who wrote probably one of the contrivertional pieces and one of the earliest known poems about the existance of the nuclear bomb, wich caught my attention especially a quote he had said * "my family made the bomb,and i wrote the 'bomb' wich just made me look at the poem more wich was an "ironic hymn to the bomb" wich depicted the speaker to experience the phsycological horrors of a nuclear apocalytps. and while the poem was fascinating what i found more interesting was when he was in england visiting he saw kids saying *"ban the bomb ban the bomb!"
