Beethoven; Art and Protest in the 1800s"

I chose Charles Dickens's Dombey and Son.   Dickens wrote this in the realist style. THe writing is about the steam engine locomotive.   He describes land around the warehouses and railroad as having "carcasses of houses".   This is to show the darkness of the industrial revolution  This darkness is prevelant throughout the writing.  He is writing that the industrial revolution is going bring change in the way things are done and that not all of the change is positive.  


My favorite modern writer is John Grisham.  His writings protest social injustices.   Grisham's last novel entitled The Rooster Law was about a group of law students that had been duped into enrolling in a law school the was basically a diploma mill.   The students got overloaded with student debt and had very little chance of passing the bar or gaining meaningful employment.   Grisham always researches his topics well so that there is always a lot of truth to the backstory.
