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. The best way to approach literary texts from different times and cultures to our own is by understanding the speaker/poet's POV, by looking back at what has happened and how the society was like back when the literary work was created.

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

1. Depending, one can find a full cultural analysis of a race/ethnicity through one poem, or not at all at extreme times. I think that literary texts offer insights into another culture, but just from one perspective, which can lead to misunderstandings and bias.

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

1. Meaning and impact of a literary text changes over time, due to the value and beliefs of society which change as well.

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 by analyzing how discovering how words can shape one's perception, in order to further understand how people have different perspectives on life and other matters. We study TTTC in order to discover the perspective of life of a war veteran, and to understand one can be shaped differently than others due to some events.

2. How are we affected by literary texts in various ways? How are we impacted by TTTC?
We're affected by literary texts in various ways such as sculping our perception of certain subjects or impacting the way we believe in idealogies. We are impacted by TTTC as we discovered how wars can impact individuals and their surroundings significantly.

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

Meaning is constructed through the allusions of O'brien's memories of the war, such as his killing of a man who he named Heidi. Negotiated by creating a connecting bond between O'brien and readers, expressed in rhetorical terms such as paradox, allusion, irony, and more. Meaning is interpreted as a way of perception, shaped after a set of events on an individual.

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

The structure of style of TTTC allowed the readers to engage deep into the life as a soldier back in the Vietnam war, then witness the trauma the war implemented into individuals, and how one can be shaped though such event.

What were some global issues you explored in Hughes' poetry?
- Major global issues I could dwelve into as I explored in Hughes' poetry was all related to racism and discrimination. For example, one was that freedom is like a nurturing tree - it should be continuously growing in order to place the world under its branches. Another one was that though discrimination has been long gone from society, the painful memories are still present in the minds of those who endured.

Topics Discussed:

1. Honor and reputation come above all else

1. Subjected to different situations and stance an individual is in

2. Cost/Benefit to determine whether keeping honor and reputation above all else is worth it.

2. Individuals who know something and do nothing are just as responsible as those who commit unjust acts

1. Subjective to situations

2. Might be self-threatening

3. Men and women have different roles/responsibilities in society

1. Yes, as there are still some conservative viewpoints within our society that support such idealogy

2. As long as an individual can perform at the same level as the other gender, men and women can have the same role/responsibility in society.

What connections can you make between some of Hughes' poems?
- One of Hughes' poems addressed the hypocrisy within the foundation of the U.S. I related to this, as though many countries, not just the U.S., present themselves as a "democratic" "for the people" government, it really isn't in truth.

How does Hughes' poems connect to other works we've read?
- Hughes' poems connect to the trauma part of O'brien's The Thing They Carried, as African Americans as well had a resentment for their pasts, thinking of it time to time.

How does Hughes' poetry connect to our world today?

- Hughes' poetry connects to the world today, especially the BLM, as they're both mainly about equal rights and liberty for African Americans, as well as other races.

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

Humans read and write stories in order to understand how others perceive differently from them and expand the way in which they understand and think about certain subjects, allowing them to make more rational, smart thinkings later on in life. I read stories in order to expand my ways of perceiving life. I write stories in order to convey to others the message I got from a certain experience, and how that has shaped me as a person.

What insights did the poetry of Langston Hughes offer about the African-American community in Harlem?
The poetry of Langston Hughes offered an in-depth insight about the African American community in Harlem, by emphasizing how much they've improved and how bad the situation used to be, while there still are some room to grow as well.

How does art reflect the community from which it comes?

Art, in my opinion, has a distinct form depending on the person who creates it. One's experience shapes one's perception, and one's perception changes one's views even on the smallest things in life, which, ultimately creates the uniqueness of each and every person in the 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.

1. The structure of this novel allow Morrison's words to be more plausible as they are first person viewed - it's like a personal story telling.

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. Cultural and Historical context to the perceiving of this specific work Beloved is crucial, as that is what allows the audience to infer the events that happen within the novel, which then leads to the audience's being pervaded of the overarching theme - the biggest area of cultural context would be slavery in this case.

Beloved connects to our world today by connecting to the systematic racism which I still believe is prevalent not only in America but around the globe.

Optional Mastery Opportunity Essay (Link Here)

# data[].attributes.body
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 the issue of power by displaying the perspective of those who are controlled by such powers. The issue of gender, specifically motherhood is portrayed within the novel: the strength of motherhood is constantly pitted against the horrors of slavery. In a number of ways, slavery simply does not allow for motherhood. On a basic level, the practice of slavery separates children from their mothers, as exemplified by Sethe’s faint recollections of her own mother. Since it is so likely for a slave-woman to be separated from her children, the institution of slavery discourages and prevents mothers from forming strong emotional attachments to their children. The writing itself utilized to potray the story of Beloved did an efficient job in engaging the audience within the story's detail through the different perspectives of slaves which the audiences could experience.

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.

This work Auschwitz and After connects to Beloved as well as the works of Langston Hughes. All 3 of the works deal with the theme of oppression and portrays the perspective of the victims, creating empathy within the audience's heart.

How does Auschwitz connect to our world today?

Auschwitz and After connects to our world today by connecting to the communal aspect of our lives: humans, naturally, form a sense of community within a group which they think there are similar people. This group then becomes more of a way for people to depend on someone else (the group), which happens in Auschwitz and After at Auschwitz.

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

A work is a classic literary text if it contains an expression of the 3 fundamental elements: life, truth, and beauty. Persepolis can be considered a literary work due to its abundance in imagery and the written word within the graphic novel are all related to humanity (life).

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

The Iranian people had to face consequences such as economic problems, force assimilation of culture, and religious actions for the Revolution - leading King's policies.

Attach the panels you found most fascinating and that  you discussed during our final Harkness here

We found ourselves veiled and separated from our friends. (Page 4)

In this quote, Marjane refers to the veil as a method of separation not just from the public and a woman's body, but also between different groups of people and culture. Though she enjoyed a co-educational, secular and bilingual education prior to the Revolution, after Islamic Law was put into place, her world became much smaller as she was forced into a dogmatically-religious, single-gender and monolingual education. The reference to the veil here serves to represent not only the opression of woman, but also a curtain of sorts between Iran and the rest of the modern world after the Revolution of 1979. Iran, like Marjane, was veiled and separated from its "friends" (other modernized nations) after the Revolution.

As for me, I love the King, he was chosen by God.

Page 19

In this quote, Marjane parrots what she learned in school. She is too young to understand that her education is controlled by the government. To her, it is inconceivable that she would be taught something in school that is not true. Her belief that the King (Shah) of Iran was chosen by God is indicative of her fierce loyalty, even at a very young age. Iran comes first in her heart, even as she grows up and learns of its problems from her parents. Marjane comes to be proud of her parents' active roles in the resistance to repression, and learns to be skeptical of even the things she learns in school--but at the same time she never loses her loyalty to Iran itself, despite its different corrupt governments.

What were some global issues you explored in Persepolis? Consider the Harkness discussion and other ideas that came up during class discussion.

The global issues i was able to explore in Persepolis was gender. Persepolis opens at the moment in Iranian history when it becomes obligatory for women to wear the veil and schools become segregated by gender. The Revolution brings many changes to Tehran, but the changes imposed on women and men in how they dress and look—women must cover their heads, men must cover their arms and not wear a necktie—might be the most immediately relevant and personally frustrating. Over the course of the graphic novel, Marjane begins to understand that to be a woman in her new society is to be subjugated to a lesser role than the one she expected to have in her younger years.

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 the other works we've read such as the Chronicle of a Death Foretold or Beloved. Both of the texts deal with the global issue of gender obligations, for example, Marjane progresses to learn the role of women which the society has set for them but desires to break it, while COADF deals with a woman who is now obligated to follow such ideals of the society.

How does Persepolis connect to our world today?

Persepolis connects to our world today regarding the issue of women's role in the society. Even nowadays, there are still conflicts regarding the roles of women, which intakes different factors: biggest one being religion.

# 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.

Chronicles connects to The things they carried, as well as Beloved. TTTC is connected through the similarities in the issue of social obligation: whereas tttc is that for men and chronicles is that for women.
How does Chronicle connect to our world today?

Chronicle connects to our world through the never-ending hypocrisy of human societies: even now, same as in the novel, there are people who validate themselves as not guilty through their own rubrics, while those actions would be considered guilty where-else.
