Choose 3 out of these 6 questions to answer and reflect on how it relates to our reading and understanding of Hughes' work.
- How important is cultural or historical context to the production and reception of a literary text?

- How do we approach literary texts from different times and cultures to our own?
We approach them by taking the frame of time they were written into consideration. But we also need to go into it open minded, knowing that some of the issues may apply to our culture today, and that we can learn something from it.

- To what extent do literary texts offer insight into another culture?
The texts can offer insight into many different cultures, but it can be limited depending on what is being written. The author also might be addressing one culture, but the readers could apply it to many.
- How does the meaning and impact of a literary text change over time?

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

- How does language represent social distinctions and identities?
Language in every culture is different. By the author writing a text a certain way, it could imply they are trying to imitate or address a certain culture. Langston Hughes does this through his text "Bad, Bad Man"

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

The Things They Carried: A parallel to war and war victims is explored in each texts. The idea that war strips values and humane behaviors is proved by both authors even though one tells stories about the soldiers, as the other one focuses in on the victims.
Hughes Poetry: We see this idea of overcoming wrongdoing and corrupt authority for a better life in both texts as they were set apart due to ethnicity or religious values.
Beloved: Connects with womanly trauma and how it can result into a loss of identity. Delbo overcomes this trauma from her past while Sethe doesn't, and we see how both authors use this to create different effects and lessons for the readers.
Chronicle of a Death Foretold: The idea of losing innocence is explored in both texts through the loss of virginity and killing one another.

How does Days and Memories connect to our world today?

It connects to our world today since it is used to share experiences and hope into the next generation so they can be thankful and knowledgeable for what they have and what has happened.

# data[].attributes.body
Readers, Writers, Texts
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 Memories?

We are affected as we are put in a position to look and perceive topics and ideas that may seem unpleasant about the camps that are true. Many things are blurred or filtered over and Delbo creates a space where readers can see clearly the wicked events of WWII and how survivors have persevered and gotten through the trauma.

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.

TTTC: The setting of war and how it can be led by corrupt and selfish beliefs/ powers.
Hughes: A corrupt power dehumanizing certain groups of people. Religious hypocrisy, hypocrisy in government.
Beloved: Relates to women's roles and suppression of them by men in a higher power (racially, religiously, politically).
CAODF: Religious hypocrisy, fundamentalist societies, putting actions or things above the God that the religion is actually based on.
Days and Memories: They show different cultures from other parts of the world, how war can affect citizens, and how it can be dehumanizing.

How does Persepolis connect to our world today?

Persepolis connects to our world today as we can see the contrasting societies of western and religious societies in the middle east. It makes readers get past stereotypes and see what actually happens in that part of the world. We learn lessons through Maji's coming-of-age story.

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

Persepolis is considered "literary," even though it is a graphic novel because the author intentionally incorporates graphic elements to further the ideas she wants to portray to her audience.

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

It gave me perspective on how impactful a very forceful and religious society is on the people that live within it. We see that people are forced to hide who they are and voice their opinions along with hypocrisy and judgment found within people.

How does Chronicle connect to our world today?

Chronicle relates to our world today as it has an ongoing theme of masks and societal expectations. W see this play out through social media, the music we listen to, and movies that we watch. The blur between truth and reality is blurred as many people put forth a mask of who they truly are. This creates people within the society to feel as if they can't ever be good enough, since there will always be someone better online, or in a movie.

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

Chronicle offers insight into the Colombian culture through the novel's main playing motifs of machismo and honor. As many of the male characters put forth a violent presence, we see how that culture is in Colombia. Also as honor is valued in their branch of Christianity, we see that many women have to put forth the mask of purity and men rely on it to feel that their wife or family is valued.

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)?

Beloved specifically addresses gender in the way Morrison constructed her characters. She compared people to animals to show animalistic behaviors. For example, she states that the men that sexually assaulted Sethe had mossy teeth and thought of her as an animals, irony because they were the one acting like animals. She shows the ways in which the characters thought of each other and let their own thoughts reveal the truth about themselves.
Morrison  challenges the traditional way in writing to give insight to the readers the real issues and thoughts within the characters. By weaving through present and future, readers were able to relate to the characters in the way that we think.
Morrison explores power through the characters and things that she specifically gives power to. For example, Sethe's memory and Beloved had power over her. Morrison gave these things power over Sethe to portray how suppressing traumatic memories can hold one captive.

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.

Langston Hughes: It relates in the topic that it talks about Black American suppression and trauma. Although they are very differently written, both authors are rich in their use of figurative language.

The Things They Carried: O'Brien goes very personal with the individuals in his work, like Morrison. Both authors goes into the global issue topics about trauma and how that plays a role into their characters everyday life. They both talk about a broad historic event in a very narrow and personal way.

How does Beloved connect to our world today?

Beloved connects through its use of global issues. Although it talks about slavery, the overarching themes of the text talk about the aftermath of going through something that traumatic. For example, Morrison explores the topics of motherhood, trauma, memory, identity, abuse, gender roles, and slavery. She mainly attacks slavery in it's animalistic ways in how the Black Americans were treated along with how she was treated and regarded to as a women.

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 stream of consciousness Morrison used impacts the writing and how the readers take in her ideas. It allows us to see the true events of slavery but also understand how it impacted Black Americans. We see it more personal and individual instead of a broad event that happened.

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.

It is very important to understand these historic events since they are what the book is based off of. We see these events, but Morrison reconstructed it so that it is more personal and we see it come to life.

*What connections can you make between some of Hughes' poems?
-He always has the overarching idea of the world living in unity, Black history and empowerment, standing up for equality and for love.
*How does Hughes' poems connect to other works we've read?
- It connects to TTTC through the experience people go through due to the structure of society around them. Both groups have experienced issues due to the group they are in and how society has treated them, but the authors do it in a very different way about different groups
*How does Hughes' poetry connect to our world today?
-It connects to our world because there are many issues in the world where people aren't given human rights, they are being persecuted for simply living or having an opinion.

Reflection
How did you do during the Harkness discussions? What feedback did you receive?

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 because Hughes uses a lot of allusions and historical context regarding Black history in his work as a whole.
2. How do we approach literary texts from different times                and cultures to our own?
We approach it in their perspective of life, and take their time and culture into consideration when reading, but we can still take away from the text and apply it in our world today, even though it wasn't a modern work.

3. To what extent do literary texts offer insight into another culture?
It offers insights into other cultures because there can be the same problem happening around the world, that is why we can take a global issue out of the literary texts.
4. How does the meaning and impact of a literary text change over time?
It can change because things happen in the world. The impact is more during the time it is written because it is directed and made for that time, but it can still be impactful later because the same issue may be going on or it can be a work of reflection for our world.

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

It can reflect it because it can be arguing about it, supporting it, or just simply addressing these cultural practices.
6. How does language represent social distinctions and identities?
Language can help represent social distinctions because the author can use certain diction to separate groups.

Why do humans read and write stories? Why do you read and write stories?  Write about a paragraph.

Humans read and write stories to share experiences, viewpoints, and to learn a life lesson. It can also be a way to get your feelings down on paper or express your creativity. I read stories so I can learn something, or just to take my mind off of life. I write stories to get my thoughts down on paper instead of letting them float around in my head.

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

We study literature to better understand the world around us and people's perspectives. We also study it so we can become better writers ourselves.

2. How are we affected by literary texts in various ways? How are we impacted by TTTC?
We are affected in the way that we can relate to it, learn something from it. For TTTC we are impacted by the hard truth of the individual stories soldiers produce when they go to war.

3. In what ways is meaning constructed, negotiated, expressed, and interpreted in TTTC?
In TTTC, meaning is something that is changed throughout the whole book. Different vignettes have meaning of their own, and they are expressed through O'Brien's writing styles and the stories that he chose to share.

4. How does the structure of style of TTTC affect its meaning?
Style in TTTC helped construct most of its meaning through O'Brien's different narration styles and use of capturing a moment in time with imagery.
