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

Chronicle reveals to us so much about how the community in some Colombian towns function with honor and the roles that both genders play one being extremely pure and the other one basing actions off of pride.

Choose 3 out of these 6 questions to answer and reflect on how it relates to our reading and understanding of Hughes' work.

1. How important is cultural or historical context to the production and reception of a literary text?

Cultural and historical context gives the literary text an explanation for why the writer expresses their feelings in a certain topic and allow the reader to enter their mindset.

3. To what extent do literary texts offer insight into another culture?

Literary texts usually offer insights to a bit of their cultures but focus on a part of their culture that has the most problems and is ruining the culture itself.

6. How does language represent social distinctions and identities?

The language of these works usually show the evidence that the writer was well educated or unscholarly and had no education in their lives. It usually also tells the reader if the writers were poor or rich and what race they were depending on who they target or defend in their works.

1. Why and how do we study literature? Why do we study TTTC?

We study literature to further our knowledge of the world and TTTC helps us understand the viewpoints of many soldiers in the Vietnam War

2. How are we affected by literary texts in various ways? How are we impacted by TTTC?

Literary texts can greatly affect our lies because any simple story can change the ways we think, act, and feel and it could corrupt the world. TTTC impacts us with the terrors and joys of war.

3. In what ways is meaning constructed, negotiated, expressed and interpreted in TTTC?

Throughout the many stores of TTTC we see many different viewpoints of different soldiers and how they feel about the war but as the story progresses most the stories end with the characters feeling the same way.

4. How does the structure of style of TTTC affect its meaning?

Instead of a diary of O'Brien we get more of many flashbacks from his and his fellow soldiers and the story progresses in a random order for example we jump from the past dung river where Kiowa dies and then jump to the present where O'Brien pays his respects this affects the meaning by showing the many different emotions that come from certain events in O'Brien's team.

Reflection
How did you do during the Harkness discussions?

I feel that I did not that good because I didn't talk that much, but I was also having audio issues so it was hard to hear what they were saying, and after I came up with a new point to say they changed the topic to a new global issue.

Notes
Ideas discussed I want to remember:

'Society' was more fair to O'Brien than to Mary Anne when they tried to change their identities showing gender roles in TTTC.

Mary Anne is the one who took her identity into her own hands while O'Brien couldn't handle the consequences.

4 corners notes -

Q5. Religion serves to establish a more moral and humane society.

Responses - We all believed that this statement was wrong because there are many religions around the world and not all of them are necessarily good. There are some religions that could be occults and those often end with immoral and inhumane ideas spread around their community. Also for the people who don't necessarily fall under a religion they don't fail to be moral or be humane  so it is wrong to say that religion establishes a more moral and humane society.

I’ve drunk of the bitter river                                                                   1

And its gall coats the red of my tongue,

Mixed with the blood of the lynched boys

From its iron bridge hung,

Mixed with the hopes that are drowned there                                5

In the snake-like hiss of its stream

Where I drank of the bitter river

That strangled my dream:

The book studied - but useless,

Tool handled - but unused,                                                                   10

Knowledge acquired but thrown away,

Ambition battered and bruised.

Oh, water of the bitter river

With your taste of blood and clay,

You reflect no stars by night,                                                               15

No sun by day.

The bitter river reflects no stars-

It gives back only the glint of steel bars

And dark bitter faces behind steel bars:

The Scottsboro boys behind steel bars,                                           20

Lewis Jones behind steel bars.

the voteless share-cropper behind steel bars,

The labor leader behind steel bars,

The soldier thrown from Jim Crow bus behind steel bars,

The 15¢ mugger behind steel bars,                                                    25

The girl who sells her body behind steel bars,

And my grandfather’s back with its ladder scars,

Long ago, long ago - the whip and steel bars-

The bitter river reflects no stars.

“Wait, be patient,” you say.                                                                30

“your folks will have a better day.”

But the swirl of the bitter river

Takes your words away.

“Work, education, patience

Will bring a better day.”                                                                        35

The swirl of the bitter river

Carries your “patience” away.

“Disrupter! Agitator!

Trouble maker!” you say.

What insights did the poetry of Langston Hughes offer about the African-American community in Harlem?

The poetry of Langston Hughes gave me insight on how the African-America community was struggling during the days of Harlem yet I feel nothing has really changed today from the time he wrote about.

How does art reflect the community from which it comes?

Yes the art reflects the many struggles the black community went through by demonstrating common topic that were turned to portray the struggles of a black life.

Readers, Writers, and Texts

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.

Morrison's use of stream of conscience in the text adds a layer of depth to her writing because the characters are stating simple things they see and feel which are not always representative what what is actually going on within the text.

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.

The way Morrison shaped her text to revolve around slavery rather than just racism and its affects, she ignored racism and bases the story only on a story about a struggling family rather than a struggling family that are hated by everyone. Morrison leaves out many horrors that were the reality for the slaves that lived on ruthless farms and that were captured by the fugitive slave law but the Garners in the story were very lenient and gave them many chances which shows the respectable side of slavery.

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.

How does Beloved connect to our world today?

Beloved connects to multiple types of trauma and gender roles and identity within TTTC and Beloved also connects to Langston Hughes with roles of community ad effects of slavery. Beloved is not that far off of a story that could happen today many black people live a life of struggle everyday and try to keep their loved ones safe but it doesn't always work out for them.

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)?

The novel as a whole addresses the issues of gender, writing, and power and give it to the women of 124 by giving them most of the narrative and following them throughout their streams of consciousness and we get to follow the characters as they grow and as they start to become better or worse people because of the way they interact with each other.
