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

Since the begging of time reading and writing was a way humans passed down culture and ideas from generation to generation. Through this new information generations could build upon these ideas and use them to benefit themselves. Nowadays reading and writing is still similar. We read literature to better our writing and use it as an example to develop skills and also use it to create our own messages or ideas.

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.

Without these historical events Beloved would be quite different. These events inspired Morrison to shed light on racial injustice and help spread awareness the horrors' of slavery. These historical events helped to strengthen her writing and present a sense of realism.

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)?
The novel helps to identify the importance of women and gender as a whole through the book. We get to see the importance of Sethe and the families need for her. We see the choices she has made and her past which leads the readers to see the the heartbreak and devastation African American females endured when coming to their children, or harm from slave masters. Not only is this heartbreak demonstrated by Sethe killing her child but through the past of Baby Suggs and the loss of all her children.
