1. How does Chronicle offer insight into Columbian culture? Consider what we've learned about with machismo, marianismo, honor and the impact of colonialism. Chronicle of a Death Foretold offers insight into Columbian culture as the author, Garcia Marquez, provides details about gender expectations, religion, and marriage expectations. Regarding machismo, the men within this novel are seen as wealthy and powerful, dominant over the women they encounter.

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 of the literary text affects the meaning, because Morrison used a good amount of dialogue throughout the text, portray the thoughts and feelings of the characters. This is important, because we are able to understand their true intentions and perspectives of the novel's aspects.

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 and historical context is extremley important in the production of a literary text, because when stated, it spreads awareness into the eyes of people reading it. As well as this, it provides knowledge about aspects of the past should never be repeated due to a terrible outcome.

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?

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

3. To what extent do literary texts offer insight into another culture? Within Hughes works, he describes the aspects of black culture and how it has been looked down upon by the majority of our world. Reading a few of his poems, I further understand a portion of black culture and the importance of respecting it.

4. How does the meaning and impact of a literary text change over time? When literary texts are primarily written, most of the time they are about a specific problem relevant to the time period. In Hughes excerpts, most of his works refer to segregation and slavery, which are now less prominent in the modern world. While segregation is still sometimes seen today, it is now looked at as a negative practice and people of all races and cultures have begun to stand up to it.

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

6. How does language represent social distinctions and identities? Language is used as a way that people communicate with one another and it changes depending on culture and upbringing. Depending on the way you speak, it is a part of your identity seeing how your language is a component of you and what you believe.

1. Why and how do we study literature? Why do we study TTTC? We study literature to understand further how humans communicate their thoughts, feelings, etc. We study TTTC, because it is important to learn about how different authors express their situations, as well as it teaches us about war and the components it contains.

2. How are we affected by literary texts in various ways? How are we impacted by TTTC? We are affected by literary texts because each literary text obtains a different style and different meaning. This can influence us as young writers to find our own style and expand our creative pallet. As well as this, the emotional impact that TTTC has on the reader is enough for someone to realize the true struggle tied to war. It can allow us to feel sympathy, inspiration, and sorrow.

Notes
Ideas discussed in Harkness I want to remember:
-The struggle that oppressed minorities had to face plays an important role in who they become as a person
-Our world was built by the hands of millions, not just the white community
-Once something is a part of your past, it's hard to push past it and act like it isn't a part of your identity

How does P ersepolis connect to other works we've read? Be detailed in how it connects with global issues and thematic and stylistic ideas to other works.

How does Persepolis connect to our world today? Persepolis connects to our world today as it addresses things like societal expression and identity.

# data[].attributes.body
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 connects to The Things They Carried as they both contain overarching themes of honor, power, and gender expectations. In TTTC, men were forced to be drafted into war, constantly feeling emotionally pressured to remain brave or they would be seen as weak. In Chronicle, the Vicario brothers were the men in their family and after their sister had her virginity stolen, the twins felt the responsibility to retrieve their sister's honor and fix what had been broken.

How does Chronicle connect to our world today? Chronicle connects to our world today as gender expectations still remain prevalent within our society, whether it's military, school, occupation, or home life. As well as this, many people in our world put honor before anything else as their main goal is to protect their reputation and pride.

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 can connect to Langston Hughes, as both literary pieces include the idea of generational trauma caused by the harsh realities of slavery. Furthermore, both authors use a lot of powerful diction and repetition within the novel to emphasize the main ideas connected to the global issue.

How does Beloved connect to our world today? Beloved connects to our world today, because many mothers are faced with difficult decisions regarding their children that they are just willing to face out of love.

# data[].attributes.body
What connections can you make between some of Hughes' poems? "Let America Be America Again" and "Freedom's Plow" contain a lot of the same topics such as the push for freedom and the impact of generational trauma.

How does Hughes' poems connect to other works we've read? Hughes' poems connect to The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien, because both authors stress the importance of mental health within those who face trauma and endure immense struggle. For example, the men sent to war in O'Brien's novel change as people once they have lived in Vietnam for a while, which relates to Hughes' description of how the black community has become oppressed from constant segregation and stereotype.

How does Hughes' poetry connect to our world today? Hughes' poetry connects to our world today in a way that many still view the black community as insignificant and unimportant. He preaches about the fight for freedom that they have had to constantly push for and what it will take for our world get to the point where acceptance and equality are prominent.

# data[].attributes.body
How does TTTC connect to other works we've read? The Things They Carried immensely relates to Days and Memory as both novels envelope different aspects of PTSD and postwar struggle. Furthermore, both works are written in some form of autobiography with a few parts being fiction.

How does TTTC connect to our world today? TTTC can connect to our world today because war is still prominent and many suffer from it to this day. As well as this, there is an aspect of the book that remains true, ignorance about the concept of war is widely seen in individuals who chose not to learn about its politics.

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 specifically addresses issues of power, as dehumanization was a huge topic within almost every chapter. The impact of slavery and it's harsh components had majority of the character's questioning where they stand on the social hierarchy, as well as wonder when they were going to find their identity. The style of the novel gives a voice to the women of 124, as we are provided with insight regarding their feelings through immense, passionate dialogue included by Morrison.
