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?
I was affected by Days and Memory through gaining an understanding of the complexity of the events that went on during the Holocaust, and the ability of only those who survived it to fully understand.

Intertextuality
How valid is the notion of a "classic" literary text? What makes Persepolis "literary" even though it is a graphic novel? The text is not a very classic representation of a literary text, due to its graphic novel elements, and lack of text, as compared to works like Pride and Prejudice. It is literary even though it is a graphic novel due to the emotional appeal of the book, and its ability to convey meaning through text.

Time and Space
What insight did Persepolis give you into Iranian life during and after the revolulation? Before Persepolis, I knew nothing about Iranian life or the revolution, but after the book, I know about the revolutions and the social effect that it had on citizens.

1. How does Chronicle offer insight into Columbian culture? Consider what we've learned about with machismo, marianismo, honor and the impact of colonialism. It offers insight into Colubian culture through the insightful illustration of machismo and marianismo stereo types within a society and how it affects men and women. We also the themes of familial honor, and the way that men were expected to uphold it. We also see the common theme of the importance of religion throughout the book as religion was very stressed and important within Columbian Society.

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 structure through a stream of consciousness gives the text a new purpose, implementing the way that thoughts naturally flow, giving it a sense of realism and natural organization. Along with that, the shifting points of view give the novel a sophisticated stance, by considering all perspectives. Analepsis and prolepsis are used once again to give the novel a natural flow, showing the way that trauma is non-linear.

1. How important is a 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. Cultural or historical context is very important to the reception of a literary text as it provides an understanding for the reader. For example, without historical context, once might not understand the reasoning behind Sethe killing her child.

1. Why and how do we study literature? Why do we study TTTC?
-We study literature to learn about others, and history, and to improve our own writing by reflecting on the choices of others.
-We study TTTC to learn about the ways of war, how it changes people, and how the emotional baggage that everyone carries shapes them.
-We also learn new authorial choices from O'Brien such as stream of consciousness, juxtaposition, and more.

2. How are we affected by literary texts in various ways? How are we impacted by TTTC?
-We are affected by literary texts in various ways by the emotional effects that the texts evoke.
-We are impacted by TTTC by the emotions it evokes. It transports us into the war, with the soldiers, experiencing the changes that they experience.

3. How does the structure and style of TTTC affect its meaning?
-The structure and style of TTTC affects its meaning by evoking differing emotional reactions. By telling the same story multiple times, O'Brien is able to give each war experience a new meaning and new emotion that goes along with it.

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 connects to other works we have read thematically to the wartime violence of The Things They Carried, along with the lack of care for those in lower classes or those of certain beliefs like in Days and Memory. Also, it connects through the global issue of the ability of humans to abandon their morals in sources of fear/anger, connecting to Beloved.

How does Persepolis connect to our world today? Through the government's lack of regard for those of lower classes along with wars still going on against the uprising of groups of people against a regime.

# data[].attributes.body
How does Chronicle connect to other works we've read? Be detailed in how it connects with global issues and thematic and stylistic ideas to other works. Connects to other works we have read through its illustration of gender roles and how traditional expectations of men cause them to loose their sense of self and moral compass. Seen in TTTC through the men's mindless killing and going to war even though they knew they didn't want to do either, shown in Paul D.'s struggle with masculinity and him loosing his former qualities, shown in COADF through the Vicario brothers loosing their morale and killing Nasar. Magical realism, connects to Beloved and COADF through themes of memory and rememory, using MR to piece together stories and discover the "truth".

How does Chronicle connect to our world today, through the gender roles that are still expected of men and woman today. Although more mild, woman are still judged for their virginity and men are still expected to hide their emotion and uphold violent ideals.

# data[].attributes.body
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 the other works we have read through the overall idea of trauma and the way it affects others. Global issues that connect are The effect of past traumas on the present ,The question of morals in the face of corruption, and Effects of trauma on individuals and societies.

How does Beloved connect to our world today?
Beloved connects to our world today through the generational trauma that black people in America experience from the gruesome past of slavery and racism in America.

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 specifically addresses issues of gender through the identity of Paul D. and his connection with Beloved, along with the trauma based on the presence of men such as the trauma based on schoolteacher. Along with that, power is shown through the presence of Beloved and her power over Sethe at the end of the book.

The motifs that I found most interesting were eyes, heat, color,   and weather.

How does use of existentialist and absurdist thought within the book help reveal the identity of Meursault?

One possible level of inquiry is writers and the way that Camus creates an environment through use of motifs. For example, the motif of heat is used to not only create setting but also characterize Meursault and his ability to give in to outside emotional pressures.

In relationship to readers, the relationship between family is represented through visual and auditory imagery, creating an all-engulfing image of the ability of relationships to shift.

Yes, I do see myself using 1984 in paper 2 as it presents various universal themes that connect well with other works we have studied like the things they carried.

I have not used The Things They Carried, Persepolis, Hughes Poetry, Chronicle, The Stranger, etc.

I think Persepolis and The Things They Carried connect very well through the ability of political unrest to shift the morals of those living through it. This can be seen in Persepolis through the shift in Satrapi's morals as she becomes a bystander in an unjust society, as does Winston.

“If, for example, it would somehow serve our interests to throw sulphuric acid in a child’s face—are you prepared to do that?” (Orwell 218). This quote shows the true ability of a political regime to corrupt the morals of those within it.

"If you want us to incriminate ourselves in any other way, we are ready" (Orwell 170). This shows the willingness to lie in order to just be "against the regime"

"Who controls the past,’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past" (Orwell 44). Shows the true corruption of the regime.

The common motifs that I saw are religion, morality, internal conflict, mourning, and gender norms. This could connect to 1984 through the conflict between morality and justice, along with the place of internal conflict within oneself.

Memorable quotes include "“May be the devil, and the devil hath power T' assume a pleasing shape. Yea, and perhaps

Out of my weakness and my melancholy,

As he is very potent with such spirits,

Abuses me to damn me", this struck up importance to me because it shows the overall conflict between morality and religion.
