Compare and contrast in a formal language the work of two pioneers (there are many others) in literary journalism who inspired further generations of writers – Stephen Crane’s short piece When Man Falls, a Crowd Gathers (in The Art of Fact, pp. 58-62) and Jack London’s excerpt from his book The People of the Abyss (in TheArt of Fact, pp. 83-89). Please discuss any four or more aspects among the following: themes, point of view, scene construction, status life, dialogue, any other element related to action line, scene setting, and/or characterization. Use them as a framework to your essay. How are those aspects manifested in their work? Where do they coincide and where do they differ? Each author had a contribution to literary journalism in their time and context. What does it seem to be? Give examples but use short quotes. I expect you to write this analysis using powerful, crisp language. Be original. Don’t copy ideas from the Internet or your classmates. Remember that Turnitin flags plagiarism and similarities.
