    The document summarizes Philippine literature during the American colonization period from 1898 to 1946. It notes that in August 1898, Americans came to the Philippines, and in April 1900, President William McKinley sent around 600 Thomasite teachers on the USS Thomas to replace soldiers and teach in Philippine schools. During this period, literature focused on social/political concerns and independence themes. Writers imitated styles of American authors like Hemingway but often had flawed grammar, diction, and imagery in their early works.
