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?
It was very enlightening and I was made aware of so much history and truthful messages about the past through the book. She used differing perspectives with a direct intent to allow us to understand the emotions and memories of the people she wrote about. All had gone through a traumatic experience and life-changing struggle which she chose to share and show the nuance of life and how unjust and inhumane it can be in the darkest of times.

Intertextuality
How valid is the notion of a "classic" literary text? What makes Persepolis "literary" even though it is a graphic novel?
A "classic" literary text can actually expand to cover a variety of different formats, styles, and structures for writing, therefore it should reach farther than just a pure literary text. Persepolis has a great amount of text in its captions and dialogue, as well as its rich use of authorial choices in the graphics provided by Satrapi. The text still has many literary elements in both verbal and image form.

Time and Space
What insight did Persepolis give you into Iranian life during and after the revolution?
Persepolis provided a much broader range of perspectives from Iranian lives, and helped us understand more about the culture. It informed the audience about a society enforced by religious and conservative values, implanted gender norms, and the differing reactions of Iranian citizens to these standards as well as the changes during wartime. I also learned a lot more about the turmoil of the Iranian government and how its issues oppressed Satrapi and her community heavily.

1. How does Chronicle offer insight into Columbian culture? Consider what we've learned about with machismo, marianismo, honor and the impact of colonialism.
Within the book, the microcosm community represents a lot of qualities that Columbian culture has, especially concerning gender roles. The characters portray the effect that machismo and marianismo standards have on the people, where men are expected to keep a facade of strength and an unfaltering masculinity. Women are seen as pure and innocent figures that must maintain a calm and compliant posture. Along with this, women were expected to keep their virginity until marriage, being raised for an honorable position. Honor is objectified heavily that those who break these standards are considered to not belong, worthy of exile and even death.

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.
It gives a depth to the way the audience's knowledge and understanding of the characters grows as more gets revealed about each of them in different contexts. It places a different importance and symbolic meaning on how the characters interact, their behavior and differing consciences portray the effects of the past and how the characters were affected by their surroundings.

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.
Historical context is very important as the story, though fiction, alludes to many events that had happened throughout many different slaves' lives and journeys, despite their lives not following that exact timeline, it reminded the audience of the brutality of slavery that in events that had been forgotten and overlooked. The characters were receptive of the way society responded to African Americans, as it described a time where slavery was present as well as its traumatic trace that followed the characters in a freer society.

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?
Historical context is extremely important to the reception of a literary text because author's make several allusions to the ongoing events during their lifetime, often in response or in awareness of the news. Sometimes author's bring up a far past to connect to the present, or bring the current events to light to fight against them.

2. How do we approach literary texts from different times and cultures to our own?
We approach literary texts from different times and cultures by understanding that the language, the people, and the societal norms were different, in order to look past what we would label as strange or uncommon in our modern day. While seeing the perspective of different cultures, we are to respect their traditions and learn about their experiences and history.

3. How does the meaning and impact of a literary text change over time?
Over time, the impact of a literary text can stay quite constant, as the author's choices are structured to affect the reader. However, the audience will surely change and generations later may see far different situations in society, which bring texts from the past a more significant meaning as they remind the future generations and allow them to realize the evolution of mankind.

Ideas: how generational trauma lives on in memory

Texts:
- Beloved by Toni Morrison
- Days and Memory by Charlotte Delbo

Reflections: solidifying a global issue was the most crucial part in comparison to finding the extracts, because the issue had to connect throughout the work as a whole with different authorial choices.

Questions: what is the extent to which family members act on the trauma they witness in generational trauma and react to it?

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

We study literature by rereading and analyzing each portion of the passage, studying the sentence structures and words to see the authorial choices that the writer makes. We study TTTC to see how O'Brien presents his message and purpose about the war, his experiences as a soldier, and how he presents his opinion on global issues from society.

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 emotion that is portrayed by the author, their tone directly affects the audience's attitude toward the topic. We are impacted by TTTC by feeling the varying emotion that O'Brien felt in the war, like grief, anger, curiosity, and love. We form new ideas about the world around us after learning from O'Brien's stories.

3. How does the structure and style of TTTC affect its meaning?
The structure and style of TTTC affects its meaning as the varying tones talk about different truths, and paradoxes that reveal new perspectives. The values he contrasts reveal the ambiguity in war, and how different characters represent figures and aspects from society, and change the way we react to those ideas.

How does D&M 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: with the theme of an intense familial bond and motherly instincts that can overtake people's emotions and actions, driving them to go to extreme measures to protect others. The theme of a haunting memory, a ghost of slavery that relates to them always living next to Auschwitz and remembering it so vividly; yet also the repression they take to move on from the trauma.
- TTTC: how soldiers felt obligated to fight for their nation yet their share of shame. Nationalist guilt that is felt in shame of their country's actions and the beliefs of the society they are surrounded by. Styles of vignettes to go back and forth.
- Langston Hughes: sharing the stories of those who were oppressed and erased from their society and authorial figures, reclaiming their identity and struggle for them by honoring them with letting the world know the true injustices.

How does D&M connect to our world today?
It connects to our world by retelling the stories of so many cultures, a reminder to the audience of the struggles humanity faced so that people's efforts for freedom, justice, and peace would not be forgotten in vain. How a crisis can affect an entire nation, and how different each citizen's life can be. The survivors of all these events are in need of being honored and having their story shared because the society of this era tried to erase 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.
It connects to TTTC through their portrayal of war and its impact on both civilians and soldiers. With Chronicle, they both show the oppressive nature of gender standards on women who must appear modest and on men who must appear strong, due to religious beliefs. It connects Beloved with its show of the importance of family in harsh circumstances, and the impact of trauma on relationships.

How does Persepolis connect to our world today?
It connects to our world today by allowing the audience to learn more about a nation who had many assumptions surrounding it, as Satrapi aimed to inform her readers of Iranian society beyond the war and Islamic revolution, in the way it affected her family and herself. Her identity as a foreigner and the discrimination she faced is still a reality to people in our day, and we must work to welcome changes in a population, not exclude it.

# 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.
- to Beloved: value of community and conformity, assisting each other but not standing out
- to TTTC: how values of justice are taught but not followed, moral conflict, standards of masculine appearances
- to Langston Hughes: how figures of authority hold the power of the many, cultural discrimination and prejudice

How does Chronicle connect to our world today?
- standards of marianismo and machismo still exist in more subtle ways today, still have gender roles set in society
- bystander effect is common today, issues of conforming to what everyone else does

# 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.
It connects to the theme of motherhood, processing trauma, and haunting memory found in Days and Memory. It connects to Chronicle of a Death Foretold through its portrayal of restricting gender standards for women, and the impact of sexual harassment on women. Through Persepolis, there are several religious allusions that show the extent to which religion plays a role in one's life and decision making.

How does Beloved connect to our world today?
It connects to our world today by showing the impact of generational trauma and how memory preserves the lives of ancestors. The traces of slavery that were present in a society where Sethe had escaped to that of a free society today can still be found and the stain of American history must be remembered and the lives of the dead must be honored.

# data[].attributes.body
What connections can you make between some of Hughes' poems?
Freedom's Plow, the Speaks of Rivers, and the Mother show reminders of ancestral history, from the slave trade and that of slavery itself, how it impacts African Americans in a segregated society. Both Hope for Harlem and Let America be America Again correspond with a theme of hope for a better future by advocating what needs to be changed through metaphorical representations of neglect that African Americans face in their society.

How does Hughes' poems connect to other works we've read?
To Days and Memory, it can be connected to the importance of recognizing identity to combat oppression and the erasure of identity after defeat in both soldiers and prisoners. To Chronicle of a Death Foretold, it can be connected to the theme of discrimination being present in between people of different backgrounds with prejudice. Both Hughes' and Persepolis show the harsh reality of systematic oppression throughout society, and how it impacts the community.

How does Hughes' poetry connect to our world today?
It connects to our world today through the appeal to recognizing historical values of American society, and how rhetoric can be used to reclaim the identity and value of a people who had been discriminated against for generations, from different perspectives like workers, mothers, soldiers.

# data[].attributes.body
How does TTTC connect to other works we've read?
It connects to Chronicle through its reminder of oppressive standards of masculinity and the artistic portrayal of death to convey deeper emotions. And connects to Persepolis while showing the impact of war and its trauma. With Days and Memory it portrays the shame of bearing national guilt for living in a twisted society.

How does TTTC connect to our world today?
In our world today, there are still wars the make no sense and have destructive impacts on individuals who are left with PTSD, and the Vietnam War is an important part of our history that must be recognized in our modern day. The soldiers who gave their lives must be honored.

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 addresses the issues of gender by revealing the standards of etiquette, behavior, and attitude that the women of 124 have both adapted to within their lives but also drawn away from, in their individualistic routines and their tight relationship with one another. The special bonds they share give light to the importance of motherhood, a theme addressed constantly with all the girls needs to protect each other and also take up all the attention. By focusing on those who had been 'exiled' of a sorts from the community, the reasons why a community affected by internalized racism show how slavery had impacted the identity of the community as well as the women.

# data[].attributes.body
What insights did the poetry of Langston Hughes offer about the African-American community in Harlem?
Hughes' writing offered insight on the vibrant life of the community in Harlem, how their cultural traditions were embraced. However, society outside of Harlem was still divided, Hughes showed the social discrimination that occurred in his life, and how the facilities are still segregated. He addressed how the past of slavery still affected them and their values.

How does art reflect the community from which it comes?
Art reflects the community's social collaboration and the way they celebrate their shared values. It shows the ancestral and traditional ideas passed down through generations.

What motifs/themes does Shakespeare explore that you find interesting? How could they connect to other texts? List two.

Contamination: how sin can corrupt a soul and lead to conflict between thought and action - connects to Chronicle of a Death Foretold, all the conflict between morals and reactions to both the murder and court trial.

Sun + light + heat: demonstrates the contrast between genuine passion and deceitful infatuation - connects to The Stranger and how his sensitivity to the sun and light are portrayed as a force against his moral indifference and passivity.

What are some interesting and memorable quotes OR scenes from Hamlet that you could reflect on for Paper 2? These should connect to the motifs/themes mentioned in your first question.

Contamination: Laertes returns after his father dies - “And wants not buzzers to infect his ear, With pestilent speeches of his father's death” (4:5:2950-2952)

Light: Polonius warns Ophelia of Hamlet's infatuation - “these blazes daughter, giving more light than heat, extinct in both. Even in their promise, as it is a-making, you must not take it for fire”(1:3:115-120)
