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 ties into novels especially such as TTTC and Auschwitz and After in the sense that it is very similar to the trauma that is created when witnessing a war. However, there is also the specific stylistic choice that is used by Satrapi in which she utilizes a different form of art combined with literary art to tell her story.

How does Persepolis connect to our world today?
It gives the perspectives of someone who had lived through the revolution, and how it had changed their life, especially as a child. Satrapi provides a connection from the audience to the event itself, and doing so, creates a touching story with several aspects of relatability to help the audience gain more knowledge about the Iranian Revolution.

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 usually means that there is a lack of visual, and the author relies on using descriptions to set the setting and tell the story. However, Persepolis is still literary in the sense that it still uses words to tell the story; there is dialogue, descriptors, variations in different literary techniques, along with visuals to guide the reader. The only thing that it lacks is the visual description, but this is made up with the visual art itself.

Time and Space
What insight did Persepolis give you into Iranian life during and after the revolution?
It gave the insight that leaders lie to people a lot, and seeing as to how they still had a struggle, it had led to no change, and the Iranian people would still have to suffer and face issues after the revolution.

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.
There are stylistic choices very similar to those in TTTC and Beloved, in which the author utilizes varied syntax and stream of consciousness to tell a mesmerizing story. An example of the effects of trauma is the common theme of war of some kind, whether it be a war with battles, or a war with oneself, Delbo's works has several connections to similar themes in TTTC and Beloved.

How does Auschwitz connect to our world today?
It is still a sensitive topic, and the number of survivors is slowly dwindling, but there are several still alive. It ties into the horrors of war, and how times have not changed as seen with continuous anti-Semitism, and the continuation of concentration camps to imprison Muslims in China.

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?
As readers, it is already extremely difficult to imagine how to live in such a world, however, Delbo is able to describe it perfectly in such a way that the audience is not only able to imagine the images in their head, but they are able to gain a deeper understanding of the events, and learn how to sympathize with the victims.

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.
Chronicle very much ties in with the ideas of the roles of women and men in Beloved and The Things They Carried. There are several similarities in Angela Vicario and Mary Anne, along with Santiago Nasar and Paul D. All of these characters face some form of an inner turmoil as they try to cope with their own forms of trauma while maintaining their image that society expects them to have.

How does Chronicle connect to our world today?
It reflects the impact that society has on out individuality as a whole. Oftentimes, people are forced into a bubble in terms of how they appear, and how they should act. While it is now heavily encouraged to ignore these standards, they have such deep roots in society that it seems almost impossible to forget.

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

It reveals the importance of religion and these societal concepts in Columbian culture, as explored through the several different characters, where the church governs the society, and the gender identities prevent people from exploring their own sense of individuality. Aside from this, honor also plays a large role, as maintaining this is more important than maintaining their moral compass.

How does TTTC connect to other works we've read?
It ties in with the idea that the world is very complex, the amount of characters that we have been introduced with similar personalities but different stories provides insight into the pressures that society puts on an individual.

How does TTTC connect to our world today?
To start, this story is still told by several people who have gone through it, in Viet Nam or in the United States. It connects with the modern day world with the pressures that society puts on people to fit certain standards, whether it be beauty, intelligence, or one's income.

How did you do during the Harkness discussions?
I think I did relatively well, since I have a different perspective on the topic in TTTC, I felt that I could provide analysis in a different light, and provide more insight into the discussion.
Notes
Ideas discussed I want to remember:
One interesting point made was how Mary Anne represents all of the men and the trauma they faced compiled into one, and it truly shows the nature of societal pressures that can change a person.

Brainstorm some global issues developed from TTTC.
Societal pressure can completely change one's mentality; for the good or the worse.

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

We study literature to broaden our understanding of the world, through analysis and discussions with other people, we get a better understanding and grow individually. TTTC provides a story that is not talked about too much, and it reveals the true horrors of societal pressure as seen by these young men who were pressured to risk their lives for "patriotism." These social issues reveal how something that may seem trivial can prove to be much more deadly.

2. How are we affected by literary texts in various ways? How are we impacted by TTTC?
These texts can change us emotionally, and change our outlook in the world. It forces us to be more open minded in order to understand the purpose of the book, and as a result, we learn and grow from it. In this book, the audience is forced to learn the true horrors and fears of being a soldier, losing friends and loved ones, and questioning or not whether it was worth it to be drafted into the war. The message that is conveyed about societal pressures impacts us in a way that we change our outlook on those who may be in the military, or people that may have jobs where they risk their lives, just because they are pressured to do so by society.

3. In what ways is meaning constructed, negotiated, expressed and interpreted in TTTC?
The meaning is conveyed in several different aspects of the book, with it being conveyed in several different manners throughout the characters of the book, all of whom have had different outcomes, but have faced the same ordeal into their situation: pressure from their communities. It is expressed differently through the eyes of each character, and with this theme, there are also several others that lay with the individual characters themselves.

4. How does the structure of style of TTTC affect its meaning?
Since this is a series of vignettes, it is different in the sense that it provides a lot of different perspectives with its diversity in characters, one could be focusing on any character in this story, and the audience is able to learn about them, and further understand the purpose of this book.

What insights did the poetry of Langston Hughes offer about the African-American community in Harlem?
This offers insight to how strong the Black community is; enduring years of discrimination and coming out stronger.
How does art reflect the community from which it comes?
Art can reflect how far a community has grown; it provides history as artists create pieces with what they feel. It can represent the growth and development of these individuals as they record their journey through art.

What connections can you make between some of Hughes' poems?
The most obvious one is racism, and the several stories of discrimination that connect these people together as one.
How does Hughes' poems connect to other works we've read?
In a way, it connects to TTTC in the sense that there is a sense of disconnection from society because they are different, maybe not in the same way, but they are different from the "normal" people. It shares the theme of disconnection from society, and how it has a big impact on certain communities.
How does Hughes' poetry connect to our world today?
It ties in with modern discrimination and racism. Although it is not legal, people of color still face discrimination every single day, and his themes of perseverance throughout his works motivate the audience to keep fighting even in the face of adversity.

# data[].attributes.body
Reflection
How did you do during the Harkness discussions? What feedback did you receive?
I think I did relatively well with the ideas that I presented, and it seemed that people also agreed. If they disagreed, they provided their own insight rather than denouncing my opinions.
Notes
Ideas discussed in Harkness I want to remember:
the racism that people of color have faced has lead to a call for a change in societal norms. Hughes' diction and strong tone in several of his poems provide how angry people truly were, as well as the torture that they had gone through.

# data[].attributes.body
What were some global issues you explored in Hughes' poetry?
Society has gone in a revolution, there is a constant circle of oppression that never seems to come to an end.
Discrimination will not define a group of people, and it will only make a community stronger

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? It is very important in the sense that it helps the audience understand the message clearly, and there is no confusion as to what is fact and what is fiction. The historical context may also add to the meaning of the message, as it changes the circumstances of the story overall.

2. How do we approach literary texts from different times and cultures to our own? We learn the historical context, and learn how this has applies to our society today. These texts are looked at to see what has changed in society, and it shows how humanity has grown.

3. To what extent do literary texts offer insight into another culture? That depends on who wrote the text, and where it was written. Literary works from foreign countries that are later translated to English provide context in the sense that the writer is able to input their own experiences in life that opens a new door to the audience, helping them learn and expand on their knowledge of the world.

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

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

6. How does language represent social distinctions and identities?

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)?
In a sense, it makes people realize that men aren't the only ones that face trauma like these; and that the pains of the women in 124 are also valid, but are often unspoken as there are not a lot of female figures in history that were able to completely come out and speak about this, due to the influence of a patriarchal structure. The inclusion of the three generations, Baby Suggs, Sethe, and Denver are able to show the different time periods and how women of different generations felt. It provides a timeline with these three characters, rather than having one that is a child and then grows old later on, the change in perspective provides many different thoughts and opinions.

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 with the oppression that was faced in Langston Hughes; both talk about the horrors of discrimination, with violence that they had faced simply because of their skin tone. This story also ties in with Obrien's struggle with trauma, and how it has affected their lives, along with those around them.
How does Beloved connect to our world today?
It still tells the story of those who have suffered slavery today; the modern day form being cheap labor, yet they don't see an end. Along with the immigrants running away in order to hopefully gain their freedom; while still carrying the trauma of their past lives with them to start anew.

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.

The several shifts in structure and style to start with the most basic idea, keep the reader engaged. It also affects how the meaning of the story is conveyed to the reader; two writers could have similar themes, but the messages behind those themes could be completely different. In the case of Morrison, her constant shifts in point of view and other strategies help the reader further understand her themes by conveying them through several different characters; creating a complex message that could be applied to several individuals and several different situations.

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 cultural and historical context is very important to a story; it is usually known as a "setting" in basic terms. It provides a background for the reader to understand the start and the reasons for the events throughout the story. In the case of Morrison, the context provided with this book provide so much to the understanding of the horrors of slavery, and how the "peculiar institution" truly was a method of torture for these individuals just because they were different.
