It is the consensus of critics and others that he is a great American author. I suppose because he broke 'new' ground in terms of his writing. That usually puts an writer in that realm.

I think it's about the person in the writer's mind.  The writer is linking the person with the elements because we hold romantic notions about nature and when we have someone on our minds we fantasise and link them with other valued things.

Considered one of the great English literaries of our time, Charles Dickens captured the imaginations of his readers with timeless characters, such as Ebenezer Scrooge and Oliver twist, and rich story telling in books such as Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities.  His popularity today is as strong as ever and evident by the fact that none of his works have ever gone out of print.\n\nThere is a start......

Of that list... my personal favorite is Forrest Gump. Triumph and tragedy in the same story...that is life. Forrest Gump as a story may exaggerate life, but it's still life. And the grace and humility with which he deals with both success and loss are examples we could all follow a little more often. :-)

john wayne IS the man! he will never be surpassed in the genre. he did so many great films, stagecoach, el dorado, rio lobo, mcclintock, big jake (my fave!), true grit, rooster cogburn, the shootist, the war wagon, the sons of katie elder ........just to name a few. and they still stand the test of time proving a great simple story doesn't need special effects to capture the audience.

Robert Frost \nRobert Frost is one the most well-known and respected authors in American literary history. He highly praised for his images of life in New England, and also his traditional meter and form. Frost resisted following the popular trends in literature, and created some of the most important literature of the twentieth century. During his career he has won four Pulitzer Prizes in poetry\n\nor if you want someone that was doing their own thing\n\nJack Kerouac (1922-1969)\n\nKerouac was the key figure of the "beat" movement of the 1950's. His book "On the Road" captured the minds of young readers and brought the work of the "beat" writers into the limelight. His philosophies on writing and lifestyle have been compared with Whitman and Thoreau. Jack Kerouac continues to be one of the most widely read authors from his time and in recent years interest in his work has risen.

He was a playwright. He was married to Marilyn Monroe. Now go and do some research of your own, because the reason for your homework is not to learn about Arthur Miller, but to learn how to find information on your own.

"The greatest American writer of free verse is probably Walt Whitman. His great collection of free verse was titled Leaves of Grass and it was published in 1855" - first link below.\n\n"Free verse (also at times referred to as vers libre) is a term describing various styles of poetry that are not written using strict meter or rhyme, but that still are recognizable as 'poetry' by virtue of complex patterns of one sort or another that readers can perceive to be part of a coherent whole."\n\n"American poet, journalist and essayist, best known for LEAVES OF GRASS (1855), which was occasionally banned, and the poems 'I Sing the Body Electric' and 'Song of Myself.' Whitman incorporated natural speech rhythms into poetry. He disregarded metre, but the overall effect has a melodic character. Harold Bloom has stated in The Western Canon (1994) that "no Western poet, in the past century and half, not even Browning, or Leopardi or Baudelaire, overshadows Walt Whitman or Emily Dickinson." - last link\n\nHope this helps. Was constrained by your time limit.
