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

COADF lets us understand Columbian culture in the sense of the magical aspect of it. I've learned about the standards of machismo and how important one's honor is.

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? It is important to know the historical context of Hughes' work because it allows the reader to understand why Hughes is writing about these topics in his poem. It also gives context to the reader.

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

3. To what extent do literary texts offer insight into another culture? Literary texts offer insight into another culture to the extent of teaching others about it. For example, Hughes can express to the reader how difficult life is for the black community, and while the reader knows about this, they can never fully understand what it feels like to live in their shoes.

4. How does the meaning and impact of a literary text change over time?  The meaning and impact of literary text changes over time because everything changes with time. For instance, Hughes talks about slavery in some of his poems so when the reader reads about it, they see how much things have changed since then.

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

6. How does language represent social distinctions and identities?

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

We study literature to educate ourselves and to learn from other's wisdom. We do this by reading their works with an intention of learning and growing from it. It also helps to have background context to what you might be reading. We study TTTC to get a new perspective and point of view of different global issues within this work that O'Brien wants the reader to be aware of. We do it to further expand out compassion and learning mindset.

2. How are we affected by literary texts in various ways? How are we impacted by TTTC?
We are not only affected in an educational way but also in an emotional way. Literature can be so powerful to a read to the point where it can change their whole life. It can force the reader to look deep within themselves and find a new way of living and how they view life. We are impacted by TTTC by the author giving us so much detail and imagery that it's almost like we experience a tiny bit of what these characters had to go through, and that is the most important part. It gives us empathy and compassion towards others.

3. In what ways is meaning constructed, negotiated, expressed and interpreted in TTTC?
Meaning is constructed, negotiated, expressed, and interpreted in TTTC with how the author chooses to format this story and their literary choices as well. It can make or break a story, and it is done so well that it makes us invest in it.

4. How does the structure of style of TTTC affect its meaning?
The structure affects its meaning because it allows us to be taken into the story and almost live in this world that O'Brien is describing to us. This ultimately causes us as the reader to not only see the meaning through an outside perspective but to also see it through the first person.

How did you do during the Harkness discussions? What feedback did you receive?
I believe I did well during the Harkness discussions, it could have gone better though. I receive feedback like I should talk more and use more evidence from the poem.

Notes
Ideas discussed in Harkness I want to remember: How Hughes uses poetry to express not only his take on the situation but how others felt about it back then as well.

What connections can you make between some of Hughes' poems?
The connections that I can make between Hughes' poems are that all of them are about a global issue. Most of his poems relate back to injustices in the justice system. Some connect to racism and oppression.

How does Hughes' poems connect to other works we've read?
Hughes' poems connects to other works we've read because the other works of literature that we read all confronted a global issue. For instance, The Things They Carried related to many global issues like unhealthy stigmas for men and women and the effects of war on a person.

How does Hughes' poetry connect to our world today?
Hughes' poetry relates to the world we live in today because the black community still faces racism and unhealthy stigmas against them. There is also injustices in the justice system to this day.

How does TTTC connect to other works we've read?
TTTC connects with other works like COADF with the idea of gender roles in society. It can also connect to the issue of trauma with Beloved. It can also connect to memory and trauma with Delbo's work as well.

How does TTTC connect to our world today?
TTTC connects with our world today because some still deal with trauma and the struggle of memory when it comes to events that took place in the past and we can't seem to move on from.

What insights did the poetry of Langston Hughes offer about the African-American community in Harlem?
The poetry of Langston Hughes offered many insights regarding the African-American community in Harlem by using certain words and symbolism to add depth and emotion. By Hughes using these to his advantage he expresses to the reader what life was really like for the black community that lived in Harlem and allowed the reader to see through their eyes.

How does art reflect the community from which it comes?
Art is usually a form of expression and deeper look at what the person is thinking or feeling. The art then reflects back on the community because that is what they are feeling and going through. It allows us to see what is going on.

Why do humans read and write stories? Why do you read and write stories?  Write about a paragraph.
Humans read and write stories as a way to express ourselves, it can be a way of art and communication. I read and write stories to further educate and strengthen my mind. I also appreciate the author's techniques and choices that they make throughout the work. I also read and write when I want to learn or discuss global issues that I am interested in. Even if I am not familiar with the global issue I find it so interesting to read about it and to see things from different perspectives. We as humans also like to read and write to gain or express empathy. Once we read a heart touching story it encourages us to continue to explore for different types of literature that will make us feel emotion.

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 structure and the style of a literary text affects the readers perspective of the story. It makes the readers feel intertwined with the characters and makes them see through their perspective.

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.

I believe that historical context for this story is very important in order for the reader to have a better understanding. I believe that the historical context plays a big role in the making of Beloved. Its taking real history and making it into a based on a true story but also fictional story.

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)?

I believe that the novel specifically addresses the issues of gender through the writing style of going back and forth between present and past. The style of writing has a powerful impact on the readers by giving them context to the story line and making it all connect back together. The structure of this book gives the women of 124 a chance to speak their truth and to let the reader know exactly what there were thinking in that moment. It actually allows the reader to learn more about the female characters through this style of writing. It also adds a bit of clarity for the reader as to what the character was thinking.

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 Auschwitz and After?
We are affected emotionally especially because of how much heart and emotions Delbo puts into the piece herself. We can't help but to feel empathy and pain along with these women who suffered at these camps. There were times when it got so emotional that I had to put the book down for some time because of how detailed and descriptive it was.

How does Auschwitz connect to other works we've read? Be detailed in how it connects with global issues and thematic and stylistic ideas to other works.
I believe Auschwitz and After can connect with many books and poems that we have read in the class. For example, it can connect to trauma and the distortion of memory with TTTC and Beloved. It can relate to the lack of the worlds effort with Langston Hughes poems, The Bitter River and August 19th. We can also see it connect to the role of community with the book Beloved.
How does Auschwitz connect to our world today?
It can connect with our world today with how one deals with trauma and how they heal or grow from it. It can connect to the world today by learning from our past mistakes and how to prevent them from repeating in the future. It can also connect with the role of community and the importance of strength and hope.

How valid is the notion of a "classic" literary text? What makes Persepolis "literary" even though it is a graphic novel?
I think a literary text can be deemed as "classic" if it's a masterpiece and a staple in literature. Persepolis is "literary" because it is a from of literature and writing. Writing is about expressing oneself and convey a message to the reader, and that is exactly what Satrapi is doing in this graphic novel.

What insight did Persepolis give you into Iranian life during and after the revolution?
Persepolis really opened my eyes to cultural differences and what Iranian life is really like. It also gave me insight to what life was like after the revolution. I feel more educated now that I have a new perspective on this topic. Although I may never experience what Satrapi and her family went through I can find some way to learn and add this knowledge to my life.

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 that we have read. For example, Beloved connects to Persepolis through the global issue of loyalty being persuaded by power. To elaborate, Beloved holds the most power over the family in 124, like Sethe, Denver, and Paul D. Through this power she is able to gain their loyalty and undivided attention causing them to be torn apart. A similar thing can be seen in Persepolis with the over throwing of the Shah. After the Shah lost their power and persuasion over the public, teachers and students started to rip out pages of the Shah out of their text books and take back the words that the Shah was chosen by God. Once, Satrapi points out that they are being hypocritical, they take out their anger on her and claim that Satrapi is believes in the statement of "the Shah was chosen by God". So you can see that once power is gained or lost people tend to switch who they chosen to give their devotion and loyalty to.

How does Persepolis connect to our world today?
Persepolis connects to the world today because one can relate or connect to the idea of your community changing or losing family. It can also connect to the world through the process of growing up and seeing Satrapi mature into adult hood and seeing the world through her eyes in a variety of different ages.
