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

I think it is valid to classify this novel as a "classic" literary text because there are literary accepts being used to convey a story and message. The techniques used by the author makes Persepolis a "literary" text even though it is a graphic novel and most of the story is told through pictures.

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

Persepolis gave insight into life during and after the Iranian revolution because it was told from the perspective of someone around my age. It showed readers that these people lived almost normal lives, they just had intense things happening around them.

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 structure or style of a literary text affects the meaning by allowing different viewpoints to give different perspectives on a story, which allows the reader to better understand the meaning while understanding different views on the meaning.

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.

Cultural or historical contest is extremely important in literary texts because it creates authenticity in the work. Elements in Beloved have historical context which makes the story more real because these things really happened and stories like these did exist. Being historically and culturally correct allows for an author to create a message that has a large effect.

Why do humans read and write stories? Why do you read and write stories?  Write about a paragraph.
We read stories to understand different aspects of the world that most people will never experience first hand. Stories also explain differences in cultures and areas in the world. People write stories to convey important messages, their experiences, lessons and views of the world. It is important that one understands many different views of the world so they can create their own. It is also important that a person is well rounded in their reading so they understand and respect differences within our own species as well as the world as a whole.

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.

Beloved tells of hardships and trauma. This connects to both The Things We Carried and the poems by Langston Hughes. All works deal with memory and identity along with many issues such as gender, inequality but most significant, trauma.

How does Beloved connect to our world today?

Beloved connects to our world today because it is our history in America. We had slavery and people in our country went through the traumas shown in Beloved. Not only do we need to remember what happened in our past, we need to remember that people around the world are dealing with hardships such as those dealt with in Beloved like trauma, the effects of memory, identity and community.

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 addresses issues of gender by letting each person speak and show their thoughts or feelings. This includes all women of 124, Sethe, Baby Suggs and Denver, but also men like Paul D, allowing both women and men gender issues to be discussed. Because each person was able to have their time in the novel, voices were given to the women of 124 to express their thoughts independently. Each person’s experiences were shared and revealed inner struggles and personal thoughts. The structure was able to reveal important topics of gender, power and voice.

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

This novel offers insight into Columbian culture because it shares values, such as religion and honor, as well as gender roles and expectations. Men are supposed to be Machismo, manly, strong, intimidating, dominate and aggressive while women are supposed to be respectful, quite and submissive. Honor is valued and some people will do anything to maintain it. Violence is justified because of this. Colonialism brings in different people of different cultures which doesn't seem to mix well with existing cultures.

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 was effected by Auschwitz and After because it opened my eyes to true struggle and oppressions. It make me realize more that the people of the Holocaust were real people with real emotions who were forced into terrible conditions. The phrases "Try not to look. Try not to see" showed me that there are things that happened that are unimaginable.
