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

I can make some connections with the fact that racism is still alive today and unfortunately, my family are targets to them because of our different culture and how we are not specifically one race.

How does Hughes' poems connect to other works we've read?
This can relate to the Dangers of a Single Story because people who are not informed of the dark history of America would think that America is superior and great, when really, Hughes exposes the extreme flaws that we are still working on today.

How does Hughes' poetry connect to our world today?
This can connect to our current issues with BLM because there are still people who are stubborn and do not want to accept racial equality. So, it is important to recognize the wrong in our country and stand up for those who do not have the privilege of doing so- the importance of unity.

What insights did the poetry of Langston Hughes offer about the African-American community in Harlem?
It offered me insight about how many people were suffering and how hard it was to revolt or speak up about the injustices due to violent punishments and hate crimes.

How does art reflect the community from which it comes?

It can show the pain and dwelling the artist or a community felt during a specific time. The colors and environment can create the mood to make the audience feel a part of what the oppressed felt like.

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. In the chapter where it goes into Beloved's stream of consciences, there are no punctuation anywhere and all the sentences clash against each other suggesting the her mind is chaotic and she is excited to have her mom, but also scared because she had to witness all the tragic things she mentions at such a young age.

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.

1. It is extremely crucial to obtain context of the setting and time period especially for this novel since it shifts back and forth between present and past perspectives, so there are two different "times"-- one being where slavery was crucial to economy and enslaved people were being treated like animals, and one where slavery was mainly abolished after the civil war. Sethe and the other characters lives two very different lives now, compared to the past.

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 connects to, for example, Langston Hughes's work, in the way that they both have a persisting theme and ideal of community and how becoming united to destain a harmful event/time is utmost important when creating change.

How does Beloved connect to our world today?
It allows readers to understand the dehumanizing effect that slavery had on people, and to additionally understand what effect slavery had on those who even survived that time period-- it filled their life with trauma and pain long after the slavery movement was abolished.

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)?
This novel addresses a gender normative state when Paul D questions his masculinity since he has been degraded at Sweet Home to think he was not manly since he constantly had to bow down to authorities.

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?

Delbo brings us to the conclusion through her untitled poems that it is important to be uncomfortable with certain history or facts, because it allows us to see the complexity and struggles that other people have gone through.

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.

It an connect to other works that I've read like Beloved since she was so use to the spookiness and paranormal activities in her house since the trauma she's repressed made her become numb of the fear that other people, like her sons, would have when confronted with these spookiness. And Delbo was so use to seeing dead corpses laying around the camp, that other people would have freak out.

How does Auschwitz connect to our world today?

It connects to our world today since there are many acts of violence that is happening today in our country and over the globe. She shares the message that it is important to understand other people's issues and become uncomfortable so we can make a change and prevent such racist acts from happening again.

What were some global issues you explored in Auschwitz and After? Consider the Hexagonal Harkness we had and some of the global issues you came up with during that discussion.

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

A: In the Columbian culture, we see this desire to keep up one's vanity and honor. The community is seen to be heavily involved in an individual's life as if the person doesn't maintain their honor, then the community turns their back on the person, making it even more desirable to keep up with social expectations, in fear of rejection. With men, they have to continue in "masculine" personality and activities such as taming hawks, shooting guns, and being able to handle butchering. On the other hand, women had to be raised to be the perfect wife while also maintaining their purity.

What were some global issues you explored in Chronicle? Consider honor, morality, perspective, fate, gender norms etc. The more detailed you are, the more useful this will be for your IO.

The global issue I explored was the hypocrisy within the standards between male and female that society placed onto them.

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.
We can connect this to TTTC "On the Rainy River" when he was too embarrassed to continue his own life, he decided to join the war in fear of rejection from his community, because men "have to be strong and patriotic"
Also, when Mary Anne first visit, she was the ideal type of woman: bubbly, feminine, and curvaceous, however now when she's completely altered her personality, due to the atmosphere of the war, she may be seen as ridiculous.

How does Chronicle connect to our world today?
It explores the toxicity in community, even though it is suppose to be there to support you. It also exposes the blinding impact that religion and motives have on an individual.

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

Although it is a graphic novel, it still holds meaning and a theme behind it. Although it isn't displayed through text and more picture, it's a universal text that can be easily understandable by many because, as Satrapi mentions, pictures are a universal language.

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

We see that as simple as wearing jewelry or jeans can be frowned upon since it isn't approved by their bible and divine figure. It also shows how that people who express their political view publicly could be imprisoned and tortured, which is an unsettling text to read.

What were some global issues you explored in Persepolis? Consider the Harkness discussion and other ideas that came up during class discussion.

Innocence can be both beneficial and harmful to an individual

# 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.

Tying the global issue above into The Things They Carried, we see that oblivion that innocence has created can be harmful, as it can introduce danger into one's life. Such example would be when Rat Kiley and Curt Lemon was ignorant and reckless about their situation and that escalated to Rat's best friend, Lemon, dying due to a landmine.

How does Persepolis connect to our world today?

It exposes the struggle that individuals have with the unfair justice system, it also opens eyes of free-republic countries and shows what it is like to live in a anarchist government with no say in the politics.
