 Conclusion

After touring the wonderful world of writers of American literature. We consider that
each of those writers had strong motives in their personal lives that made them
immerse themselves in American literature, as well as the problems they experienced
and faced in each of their period. Some of the writers like Walker who found refuge in
writing a way to escape the reality he was living. As for Pynchon, he preferred to be a
mysterious writer and out of the technological culture, and finally Athur Miller, may he
rest in peace, had a great dream which was reflected in his book "American Dream".
Those writers left us great teaching in which each agrees how to introduce our problem
or error in writing so that it does not happen again.
