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 because it posses figurative language aspects throughout every page. This book is so much more than just a comic book, it holds so much story telling and visual characteristics that make it so extraodinary.

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

This book gave me an insight to someone who was literally in the center of the war. The perspective of Satrapi, especially her growing up, really showed how impactful the war was on her development. It also put into perspective how long the war went on for and how it effected her personally.

Reflection
How did you do during the Harkness discussions?
- Personally, I felt like I did ok. I spoke twice and tried my best to included as much sufficient evidence as possible.

Notes
Gender roles
Mental Health

Ideas discussed I want to remember:
- I want to explore the idea of gender roles affecting people while in the military, and especially during this time period.

# data[].attributes.body
How does TTTC connect to other works we've read?
- We haven't really explored other works yet.

How does TTTC connect to our world today?
- TTTC can be connected to our modern way of living by drawing more attention to people's mental health after going through such a traumatic experience, like war. It has been very apparent the nasty mental side effects fighting in a war can have on a person. I feel like the military needs to provide more assistance to former military when it comes to dealing with their trauma.

# data[].attributes.body
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.

I thought Persepolis connected to COADFT because both had underlying theme's of wealth gap and the wealthy being blinded by the struggles of the poor.

How does Persepolis connect to our world today?

I think Persepolis connects to the world today because it shows the real world implication of people inflicted by war. Satrapi's story of growing up, or maturing, souly in a country strucken by war is a story felt by thousands around the world.

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

Since the beginning of man kind, humans have written stories to convey their thoughts. We write stories to share our ideas and help others elaborate on them. To express memories and past experiences to each other. Personally, I enjoy reading and writing stories because it gives me a creative outlet to express myself through text. It lets me choose the adventure and pick who gets to be the main character. Writing holds so many posibilites and humans find joy in exploring them.

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?

Historial context is important in literary text because it gives readers an insight on what led to the problem/issue. It also lets people know how long this issue has been prevelnt in our society.

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

We can use literary texts from different times to give new perspective on how people thought back then. It gives readers a new look on how the world thought.

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

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

Overtime, certain issues aren't as prevelent in our society, or on the opposite they could be even more of a problem now. This lets readers compare/contrast issues from different time periods and brainstorm new ideas how to solve them.

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

2. How does language represent social distinctions and identities?

Readers, Writers, and Texts

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 shows how the characters are constantly shifting pov's and furthering on the story. It also gives the book a more chaotic feel.
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.

The historical background of Beloved gives the book life. It furthers the story of Sethe and explains her story of being a slave. It gives different perspectives from the different characters and how they were each affected by racial injustices during this time period.

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

5 There is a bitter river

10 Flowing through the South.

15 Too long has the taste of its water

20 Been in my mouth.

25 There is a bitter river

30 Dark with filth and mud.

35 Too long has its evil poison

40 Poisoned my blood.

45 I've drunk of the bitter river

50 And its gall coats the red of my tongue,

55 Mixed with the blood of the lynched boys

60 From its iron bridge hung,

65 Mixed with the hopes that are drowned there

70 In the snake-like hiss of its stream

75 Where I drank of the bitter river

80 That strangled my dream:

85 The book studied-but useless,

90 Tool handled-but unused,

95 Knowledge acquired but thrown away,

100 Ambition battered and bruised.

105 Oh, water of the bitter river

110 With your taste of blood and clay,

115 You reflect no stars by night,

120 No sun by day.

125 The bitter river reflects no stars-

130 It gives back only the glint of steel bars

135 And dark bitter faces behind steel bars:

140 The Scottsboro boys behind steel bars,

145 Lewis Jones behind steel bars,

150 The voteless share-

155 cropper behind steel bars,

160 The labor leader behind steel bars,

165 The soldier thrown from a Jim Crow bus behind steel bars,

170 The 150 mugger behind steel bars,

175 The girl who sells her body behind steel bars,

180 And my grandfather's back with its ladder of scars

185 Long ago, long ago-

190 the whip and steel bars-

195 The bitter river reflects no stars.

200 "Wait, be patient," you say.

What insights did the poetry of Langston Hughes offer about the African-American community in Harlem?
It gave readers an insight of the struggles of black people during this period of time.

"No, uh uh. Can't baby feet. A whole lot more tramping they got to do yet."

"You can't leave right away, Paul D. You got to stay awhile."

"Well, long enough to see Baby Suggs, anyway. Where is she?"

''Dead.''

"Aw no. When?"

"Eight years now. Almost nine."

"Was it hard? I hope she didn't die hard."

Sethe shook her head. "Soft as cream. Being alive was the hard part. Sorry you missed her though. Is that what you came by for?"

"That's some of what I came for. The rest is you. But if all the truth be known, I go anywhere these days. Anywhere they let me sit down."

"You looking good."

"Devil's confusion. He lets me look good long as I feel bad." He looked at her and the word "bad" took on another meaning.

Sethe smiled. This is the way they were--had been. All of the Sweet Home men, before and after Halle, treated her to a mild brotherly flirtation, so subtle you had to scratch for it.

Except for a heap more hair and some waiting in his eyes, he looked the way he had in Kentucky. Peachstone skin; straight-backed. For a man with an immobile face it was amazing how ready it was to smile, or blaze or be sorry with you. As though all you had to do was get his attention and right away he produced the feeling you were feeling. With less than a blink, his face seemed to change--underneath it lay the activity.

"I wouldn't have to ask about him, would I? You'd tell me if there was anything to tell, wouldn't you?" Sethe looked down at her feet and saw again the sycamores.

"I'd tell you. Sure I'd tell you. I don't know any more now than I did then." Except for the churn, he thought, and you don't need to know that. "You must think he's still alive."

"No. I think he's dead. It's not being sure that keeps him alive."

"What did Baby Suggs think?"

"Same, but to listen to her, all her children is dead. Claimed she felt each one go the very day and hour."

"When she say Halle went?"

"Eighteen fifty-five. The day my baby was born."

"You had that baby, did you? Never thought you'd make it." He chuckled. "Running off pregnant."

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 felt that Sethe really represented the struggle of gender and community acceptence. She killed her baby, and wen against "traditional" standards, this led to her community rejecting her.

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 upholds the idea of tradition and how dangerous it is to newer genrations trying to change and make room for more modern ideas. This same idea is present in Langston Hughes and how he always includes a character longing for change and dreaming about what he would do to make the change.
How does Chronicle connect to our world today?
It keeps the idea of dangerous gender sterotypes and how if someone doesn't uphold them, they are met with community backlash.

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?

I felt affected by Auschwitz and After because it really gave me a first hand experience of someone surviving in a concentration camp. Delbo's use of incorporating not only her feelings, but all the prisoners around her was extremely impactful and really shed light on the horrors of the holocaust.
