How are we affected by Delbo's memoir and her imperative for us to "Try to look. Try to see"? How were you affected by Days and Memory?

We are affected by Delbo's memoir and her imperative for us to "Try to look. Try to see?" with her various literary techniques and authorial choices in her writing that capture her nostalgic tone cataloging the stories about the lingering presence of the sense memory of the smells, tastes, and textures of Auschwitz, as well as narratives that are heavily laden with memories of physical suffering, appear to flow toward the reader like streams of emotion looking to forge a new route or link two disparate realities.

How valid is the notion of a "classic" literary text? What makes Persepolis "literary" even though it is a graphic novel?

The concept of a "classic" literary piece embodies life, truth, and beauty, and it exemplifies various styles that come and go, and it can be treasured for its literary beauty and construction. Persepolis is literary despite being a graphic novel since it follows the autobiography/memoir of her life and experiences.

What insight did Persepolis give you into Iranian life during and after the revolution?

What Persepolis taught me about Iranian life during and after the revolution was that education is necessary for true freedom, but that institutionalized education cannot always be trusted; Satrapi also highlighted how far governments will go to preserve society.

1. How does Chronicle offer insight into Columbian culture? Consider what we've learned about with machismo, marianismo, honor and the impact of colonialism.

By subtly examining the ideas of honor and fate, Garcia Marquez provides insight into Columbian culture in Chronicle of a Death Foretold as the murder case progresses. The town's failure to prevent Santiago's murder in the face of "foretold" warnings serves as an example of how Columbian culture is defective.

1. How does the structure or style of a literary text affect meaning? Consider how Morrison's stream-of-consciousness, shifting points of view, and use of analepsis and prolepsis impact the meaning of the novel.

The overall impression of a tale is created by the writer using its structure. To accomplish the overall design, they mix the plot's events with the other structure components. The story's theme is another name for this general meaning. Beloved has a straightforward style that is nonetheless complex and expressive. The tale contains details that cannot often be appreciated in their full meaning on a single reading, despite the simple grammar and word choice; which Morrison makes ambiguous.

Time and Space

1. How important is cultural or historical context to the production and reception of a literary text? Consider the story of Margaret Garner, the Fugitive Slave Act, and other historical and cultural phenomena and how that has impacted the creation and reception of Beloved.

In literature, having a clear understanding of the historical background to a work's creation can help us better comprehend and value the story. Context can aid in our analysis of historical events by allowing us to better comprehend the reasons behind people's actions. In this case, the story of Margaret Garner played inspiration for Toni Morrisons writing, a lady whose 1857 infanticide trail made headlines.

- Literary texts offer insight into another culture by allowing readers to travel across time and discover information about life from those who came before us. We can learn more about a different culture and develop a deeper appreciation for the theme allowing us to get knowledge through methods used to record history verbally and literary.

3. How do the meaning and impact of a literary text change over time?
- The meaning and impact of a literary text can change when language changes; this phenomenon is referred to as a semantic change in historical linguistics. A word's meaning might change somewhat or significantly throughout time.

Days and Memory connect with other works we've read this semester as she explores global issues about communities coming together in times of traumatic events or distress, and utilizes various authorial choices to craft her work similarly to appeal to emotionally as seen in The Things They Carried.

How does D&M connect to our world today?
Days and Memory can connect to our world today as it documents the dehumanizing and inhumane conditions and individual has experienced in attempts for readers to learn to not make the same mistakes of history that once was, as well as how we see in society some of the oppressional rules that can get taken advantage of.

How does Persepolis connect to other works we've read? Be detailed in how it connects with global issues and thematic and stylistic ideas to other works.

Persepolis, I feel, has a strong connection to Chronicle of a Death Foretold since both books emphasize the disregard and respect for people based on their economic level in the community. As people from lower socioeconomic classes are left with no power in society and absolutely no freedom to escape their situation due to the barriers society has erected = dehumanization of people based on their social status, they are left with nothing but to accept their situation and move forward. People from lower socioeconomic classes are left with no influence in society and absolutely no ability to escape their circumstances as a result of the obstacles society has erected = dehumanization of people depending on their social status where they are left with no option besides embracing their situation.

How does Persepolis connect to our world today?

Overall, Persepolis' key themes, such as individualism, religious constraints, and women's rights, are all linked to Iran's continual conflicts throughout history, particularly foreign incursions and the multiple cultural diffusions it experienced via its affluent empires and I think these are global issue that our world still continues to struggle with within our society.

How does Beloved connect to other works we've read? Be detailed in how it connects with global issues and thematic and stylistic ideas to other works.
Beloved connects to other works we've read as it explores the questioning idea of manhood, and dehumanization of oneself. Morrison, Hughes, and O'Brien all utilize various stylistic authorial choices and techniques in their writing to illustrate these themes.

How does Beloved connect to our world today?
The topics of "race" and "whiteness," which have both practically taken over the world, are brought to light in this essay. She emphasizes the Afro-position American's within the hierarchy of race, and to be quite honest, she succeeded in making me furious that such a system even exists. After all, people shouldn't be identified by the color of their skin.

# data[].attributes.body
What connections can you make between some of Hughes' poems?
- All of Hughes' poems expose the faulty ideas of white people about how society should function, but they also encourage the oppressed black population to speak out for its rights.

How do Hughes' poems connect to other works we've read?
- Many of the global issues in Beloved are related to Hughe's poems about black suffrage and racial setbacks in society, as well as how trauma caused by racial separation and dehumanization in slavery can not only have a long-lasting effect on the person experiencing it first-hand but also on their children through generational trauma.

How does Hughes' poetry connect to our world today?
- Hughes poetry connects to our world today because he championed equality, denounced racism and injustice and embraced African American culture, and spirituality.

Linda Krumholz claims (in "The Ghosts of Slavery: Historical Recovery in Toni Morrison’s Beloved") that finding a voice for the thoughts and experiences of women is central to the "healing," historical recovery theme and structure of the book. According to Krumholz, Morrison’s novel "adapts techniques from modernist novels, such as the fragmentation of the plot and shifting narrative voice, to compel the reader to actively construct an interpretive framework" (109). How does the novel specifically address issues of gender, writing and power? How does the structure and style of the novel give voice to "the thoughts of the women of 124, unspeakable thoughts, unspoken" (Beloved 199)?

What insights did the poetry of Langston Hughes offer about the African-American community in Harlem?
It reflected the late 1800s as seen by Black people. It stood for the delay of Black dreams. It symbolized how Black Americans moved to Harlem. His writings had a significant impact on American politics and literature. Hughes shared the same sense of racial pride as other participants in the Harlem Renaissance. He championed equality, denounced racism and injustice, and embraced African American culture, comedy, and spirituality via his poems, novels, plays, essays, and children's books.

How does art reflect the community from which it comes?
The culture and society are reflected through art. It shapes how we interact with one another and aids in our understanding of who we are as people. Our inner ideas, feelings, and experiences are expressed via art. It's also a creative expression that can be utilized to influence others or reflect on oneself.

Dillard's use of figurative language and word choice paint a vivid portrait of when and where she awakened to the larger world. Invoking an image of a topographical map of the geographical area where she grew up, Dillard peels away layers of "the dreaming memory of land" to reveal the former inhabitants of her hometown--from dinosaurs to indigenous people to the previous centuries' founding fathers and wealthy industrialists.

Dillard uses various motifs in her writing such as awakening, This is seen especially when she delves into the interior life as she as a metaphor for her learning journey and gradual comprehension. Her growth involves not so much inventing new knowledge but recognizing what has always existed. This awakening includes her realization that excessive focus on the inner self can impose limitations. Despite this, her memoir retains a genuine sense of joy and awe in the evolution of consciousness.

SCASI organizer for short stories of: "Sleep" and "Little Green Monster." This was very helpful when in came to understanding the excerpts on a deeper level; this being setting, character, action, style, and ideas.

Short Summary

"Sleep": The story follows a woman who stops sleeping and begins to realise she is not happy with her everyday life. The underlying meaning of this story is that when the woman stops sleeping, metaphorically she wakes up from her life that she wasn't truly living.

"Little Green Monster": It's about a woman who looks out her kitchen window one day and sees a monster climbing up out of the earth. It is ugly and scaled with long, cruel fingernails. It wants to love her, but she cannot overcome her disgust and repulsion.

# data[].attributes.body
"Once you learn to run it, it’s just a matter of repetition. You just push this button and pull.” (Sleep)

“I wasn’t afraid of the monster anymore. I painted pictures in my mad of the cruel things I wanted to do to it.” (Little Green Monster)

I chose these quotes because it captures the breaking points and showcases the characters emotions/personal feelings. The first one in sleep utilizes robotic diction, which dehumanizes the wife into being some "machine," who follows the same cycle everyday, while the second quote underscores the strong hatred this lady has towards the little green monster as she clearly wants to kill it.

What I most enjoyed about this unit was the style of Murakami's writing. His ambiguity, and conversational style really allows you to emerge into the perspective of the narrator, and makes you think deeper. I feel like I could potentially use his works in my paper, there are a lot of good ideas and points that could be talked about. Themes that could be discussed are relationships, control, and social class.
