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

-We study TTTC to gain a better understanding of war and the idea of identity. As well as how that identity changes as a result of a traumatic experience.
-We study literature to gain perspective.
2. How are we affected by literary texts in various ways? How are we impacted by TTTC?
-In every text you read, you gain something. It might be a new idea or way of thinking, possibly even inspiring a realization about oneself
-By reading TTTC we gain insights into human nature and garner a further understanding of trauma.

3. In what ways is meaning constructed, negotiated, expressed and interpreted in TTTC?
-Meaning is waht we make of it

4. How does the structure of style of TTTC affect its meaning?
-By writing vignettes and them turning around and telling the reader they are fake, it makes the reader think and question everything O'Brien writes. Therefore urging them to dig deeper and look at why he would tell a story if it is a false.

"On the Rainy River" Analysis Paragraph (Link Here)
In “On the Rainy River," Tim O’Brien is facing a choice between inner cowardice or courage and represents that by metaphorically putting historical and personal figures of great importance on the lakeshore. Internally, O’Brien feels like everyone is telling him to go one way or another. They are telling him which way is right or wrong by “whooping and chanting and urging [him] toward one shore or the other”, because he is conflicted on whether he should do what he believes is right, and not fight, or fight for his country regardless of his values. He is imagining people that he believes are wiser than him like Abraham Lincoln and will make the correct choice. He writes about this to show the readers how unqualified he feels to even be making this decision. Tim O’Brien doesn’t want to choose between himself and his country and shows that to the reader through the metaphorical appearance of people he deems are wiser than him, and that he feels could make the right decision.

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?

2. How do we approach literary texts from different times and cultures to our own?

1. We try to look at the work in the lenses it was intended to be viewed in as well as preparing to look up possible allusions of the time period or culture.

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

4. How does the meaning and impact of a literary text change over time?

1. In impactful stories the issues they cover stay relevant no matter when you read them but over time these ideas can be built upon and grown to fit new events or information.

5. How do literary texts reflect, represent or form a part of cultural practices?

6. How does language represent social distinctions and identities?

1. When words are spelled a certain way or sentences structured intentionally you can get an idea of the speaker's intelligence or cultural background. For instance, in the "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" the words were very intentionally spelled a certain way to show that the character lived in the South.

Reflection
How did you do during the Harkness discussions? What feedback did you receive?
- I spoke a more, but most of the time I liked listening to everyone else's ideas

Notes
Ideas discussed in Harkness I want to remember:
- Harlem- steps down
- City- hope

# data[].attributes.body
What connections can you make between some of Hughes' poems?
- respect: wants respect the idea that everyone should have to earn it
How does Hughes' poems connect to other works we've read?
- identity: who we are and the concept of self= TTTC + LH

How does Hughes' poetry connect to our world today?
- There is a lot going on with the Black Lives Matter movement recently and even if we are excluding that there is still racism today.
- If we want to go off racism there is also that idea of identity which everyone can relate to.
- There was also a mention of hope, and at least recently, there is now a hope that maybe through all the things happening a better US/world will somehow emerge.

What insights did the poetry of Langston Hughes offer about the African-American community in Harlem?
- It showed how tight-knit the community was and how everyone just wanted to be themselves.
How does art reflect the community from which it comes?
- A lot of the art had the theme of breaking free and I feel like that reflect all the things the community wanted to break free from. like slavery, segregation, and general hatred.

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.

1. by skipping around in the story Morrison altered how the reader viewed Sethe and other main characters, as we as, ensured that the only information we knew was what Sethe(and others) were ready to confront

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.

1. Without the knowledge of slavery and the brutality of the Fugitive Slave Act the reader might view Sethe's actions differently and not understand the thematic idea of motherhood and what that means.

- There are still mothers today so that analysis of motherhood and what one would do for the sake of their children is still relevant in today's society.

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)?
- by having Sethe share her story regarding the killing of her child last it grants her the power of the final word and the respect to share her story when many women can't

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

1. It gave the readers an idea of how their society was run. In that honor was extremely important to them and so was traditional gender roles. We saw this through the killing of Nasar and the Vicario brothers' regret.

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