THREE THINGS that we have today because of British literature. These might be phrases, beliefs, political ideas, philosophies, vocabulary, religious ideas or beliefs, games, pastimes, etc. There are a few rules here, though: You must be specific. You cannot just say, "We got words from Shakespeare." What words? When? How? Say where they came from specifically and how they are used today. You cannot just use book titles. For example, you should not say, "We got the Lord of the Rings movies from the Lord of the Rings books." I am looking for ways that British literature impacted American culture. You need to post three things, with explanations.
