The Black Ball, by Ralph Ellison, is most likely to belong to the Contemporary Period of American Literature.
Ellison began to publish his works in the 1950s and his themes revolved around the struggles African-Americans had to face while trying to not only survive but to be seen and heard by a racist society. He was certainly influenced by the movement known as the Harlem Renaissance, when black art flourished full of creativity and pride.
The Black Ball speaks of struggle and hope. John, the main character, has to deal with discrimination while he tries to teach his own son that being American is better and more important than being black, brown, or white.
OB) the falling action
OC) the resolution

The most important point to highlight is the fact that both poets endured lives of suffering, tyranny, and oppression during World War II. These experiences shaped their perspective in very different ways.
Milosz took the affronts and misfortunes very personally and considered them to have emotionally destroyed his life. Szymborska, on the other hand, saw in his survival and endurance another chance at life which might never again be given to him.
It is Milosz who addresses death in terms of the time in which he lived and and in an analogous manner to the threat of fascism. The nature of this influence is apparent in the poem ''City Without A Name''.

Your answer is about a hundred words and I would put it at about an 11th or 12th grade essay. However, I would add a comma at the very beginning after the word "first", and I would remove the apostrophe in the word "poets". (also in the first sentence) Other than that, I think it is an excellent essay.
