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 because it was eye-opening to see the actual reality of a person who had gone through Auschwitz. All of these other stories you hear are about bravery and perseverance, but not Days and Memory. Delbo is still hiding from her past to this day, and in my eyes that makes it feel a lot more real

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

Persepolis isn't a story you read for fun like a comic book or a manga, it's something you read to learn. What makes this story literary is its constant use of literary techniques.

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

It gave me the insight of how bad it was.

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

Chronicle offers us insight into Columbian culture by showing us the exaggerated unfairness of machismo norms, where men are seen as pillars and women seen as objects. Santiago's death being so imperative to the story is a way of showing irony in the culture, as a man was killed by other men for being accused of assaulting a woman.

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. 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.

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?

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

The way that different cultures view the world is translated directly into their literature. Hughes is honestly a great example of this, through his poems we can see the world in a completely different light. I personally have never had to deal with racial, gender, sexual, religious, or any discrimination, as I am a white Christian man, the most basic of basic. So being able to see what a person of color like Hughes sees made me understand how horrible it was for a person like him in the 1950s.

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

The meaning of a literary text is heavily context-based, but that context changes drastically over time. For example, Hughes' poems don't apply as heavily to America today as they did to America 70 years ago, because that battle that he fought has been won for the most part. But it can go the other way around. Take literature such as Shakespeare, and how his works have left a permanent impact on literature as a whole. The way poems and plays and books changed because of Shakespeare will continue to matter in today's world forever.

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

6. How does language represent social distinctions and identities?

You can learn a lot about someone not only by the language they speak but by the language they use. Let's take dialects for example. The way people form different sentences or what they call different things is a gateway into their personal lives. People with more southern dialects tend to speak with more vigor in their words, while more northern people speak with sophistication. This doesn't apply to everyone of course, but the further you look into the way someone speaks, the more insight you gain on who that person really is.

Readers, Writers, Texts
1. Why and how do we study literature? Why do we study TTTC?

We study literature to learn lessons from other human beings through their different world views. TTTC is no exception, as we study the story to gain a better understanding of war as a whole through a soldier's eyes, learning about the burdens they carry and how the war both mentally and physically affects them.

2. How are we affected by literary texts in various ways? How are we impacted by TTTC?

Literary texts affect us the same way that a rollercoaster or food poisoning would, as we experience different emotions and feelings that the author places throughout the text. TTTC impacts its readers by showing them how real war is, and how real the effects of war are. Before reading TTTC, I had no idea that soldiers could have such deeply-rooted feelings toward war, being able to write an entire story about how it affected them.

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

TTTC's style and structure are the main things that mold the book into the model of war that it is. For example, O'Brien throughout the story uses so many different literary devices that you could have a never-ending amount of essays regarding the relation that every single paragraph of the story has to the theme.

Brainstorm some global issues developed from TTTC.

- TTTC References the mistreatment of soldiers in not only Vietnam, but all wars. Lots of veterans today talk of being sent out like cannon fodder against enemy troops, being forced to watch each other die and fight on like nothing has happened.

# data[].attributes.body
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.

D&M shares a very similar style to TTTC by Tim O'Brien, as both feature the stories of a person who has experienced the horrors of war firsthand. Both share global issues involving bravery and community, as well as being very similar in how they are told, as a collection of stories rather than a novel with an ongoing plot.

How does D&M connect to our world today?

D&M relates to the problems our society is facing with feelings of loneliness and depression. People feel alone when they don't need to be. Community can bring forward bravery just like it did for the many women Delbo talks about

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

I actually did pretty well for myself in the Harkness discussions, always getting an 8+ or higher. I'm normally a pretty quiet person, so I'm very content with this. As for feedback, I always found myself discussing with someone during Harkness, meaning my ideas were worth discussing and talking about. Whether or not that's a good thing is beyond me, though I'd like to see it as a positive.

Notes
Ideas discussed in Harkness I want to remember:

Hughes loves to reference "Freedom's Plow"

Despite everyone working to build America, inequality spread like wildfire

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 with its stylistic tones of light and dark, along with how the war had shaped the minds of those involved.
Also not a lot of use of literary techniques with more storytelling and visuals.

How does Persepolis connect to our world today?

There are countries all around the world that are rebelling against the government. Afghanistan, for example.

# 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.

It connects to TTTC because of its idea of gender norms. In TTTC, men are supposed to be strong and brave, not cowardly. This idea is so present that men would rather die in that story than face embarrassment.

How does Chronicle connect to our world today?

Chronicle connects to the modern world by showing us how far we've come from cultures like these, and how things could go horribly wrong if equality is not present.

What connections can you make between some of Hughes' poems?

All of Hughes' poems involve this idea of freedom in one way or another. In "Freedom's Plow" it was about planting the seeds of freedom across America, in "The Colored Soldier" it was about fighting for freedom and coming back to a place where he didn't have any, in "Let America be America Again" it was about turning America into the free country it was mad to be, the list goes on. I feel like the reason he references it so much is because that's what he is all about. He is constantly facing prejudice because of his race and wants to finally be able to feel that same freedom that has been closed off to him for so long.

How do Hughes' poems connect to other works we've read?

Both TTTC and "The Colored Soldier" involve the speaker fighting in a war that they shouldn't be a part of in the first place. They go through similar struggles of losing those that they care about, fighting for a cause that doesn't affect them, and returning to a world where nothing has changed.

How does Hughes' poetry connect to our world today?

Racial discrimination still exists all around the globe in the modern era, even if it isn't as bad as it was back then. Hughes' poems will always be a permanent view of how African American cultures experience and see the world. It also feels as if lots of people have been inspired by Hughes and his works today. Freedom fighters in America tend to carry on similar viewpoints to Hughes, like how we built this country together and belong together, rather than apart.

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)?

What insights did the poetry of Langston Hughes offer about the African-American community in Harlem?

It shone a light on the conditions the people of Harlem lived in, along with their collective feelings about segregation. Harlem was represented as a community of hope, with the sky pointing toward the future.

How does art reflect the community from which it comes?

Art is reflective of emotion and thought, so if it's made to represent a specific community, the soul of that community is shown by the art. It displays what they believe, what they do, what they feel, and lets you zoom in way further than you can normally see.

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

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.

1. Motifs of religion and mortality are the two that really stood out to me from Hamlet. 1984 relates to mortality with what Winston goes through at the end of the story along with vaporization, and religion ties into American Childhood with it playing a part in Annie's childhood.

2. The fight between Hamlet and Laertes, along with Hamlet's "Poor Yorrick" speech follow those same motifs with mortality and forgiveness as the central themes of those scenes.
