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 Days and Memory?

I was affected by Days in memory in a way of mostly emotional response to the traumatic stories told by Delbo. All of the struggles of the oppressed prisoners were all terrifying, and shook the humanity out of those who killed for a flag

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

Persepolis brings a lot of ambiguity to the table with its self conflicting antagonist, and struggle with identity, and assimilating problems with the masses of pop culture

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

It, in the first place, introduced me to the Iranian revolution, before this book I had no knowledge of it. This allowed me to become more invested and educated with Iranian culture, and history, and more understanding of issues, and debates surrounding topics such as the hijab

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

Columbian culture is very conserved and traditional, with  gender roles, and obligations. Columbian culture from the book has shown that the values in rank are: Honor, religion, and family.

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 meaning of the novel is affected by this stream of though flow. The stream of thought gives this insider image/perspective of how the events are being lived, and emphasizes the human nature involved in drastic and emotional scenarios

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.

It is important to consider the time period the story takes place in as it adds complexity to the standpoints of certain characters, places, and ideals.

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? Cultural and historical context is very important as it adds a complexity to a writing about struggle, and develops a deeper global issue rather than an "on the surface"  personal issue.

2. How do we approach literary texts from different times and cultures to our own? We tend to look at many perspectives rather than just one. As a person in the present, I have many rooted ideals and many flexible ;however , I am only one person and all people have their own opinions. Therefore, it is important to acknowledge that differences in opinions had impacts on the past as much as they have impacts in the present.

3. How do literary texts reflect, represent or form a part of cultural practices?  The discussion of the effects of culture, the positives and negatives of culture, and the process of culture, may represent the development of practices carried out today, or dark pasts and how time has improved on dark morals that weren't negatively seen in the past.

1. The study of literature in this class  is meant to learn how to evoke emotion in people and feel the message being written. This is done to make the audience understand writing in a deeper level more than just logistic writing and analyses. While reading TTTC the audience is made to be immersed with the experience of war. We read the story to gather knowledge on how to write and how to make the audience feel the story rather than listen to it.

2. When reading a text and becoming emotionally invested in excerpts there is a further comprehension than just knowing the story and its moral. Feeling the story allows for a better understanding of the text in a super rich context. These experiences with stories allow readers to implement lessons taught from the stories into their daily lives. When Reading TTTC, We are impacted by O'Brien's matter of fact tone which represents his loss of touch to modern and standard life and health due to the Vietnam war.

3. The irregular structure of TTTC allow for readers to better connect beliefs and claims just made to stories told by O'Brien. O'Brien's stories also act as his reasoning for his claims and beliefs which allows the reader to better understand his emotions and life in the war.

What were some global issues you explored in Hughes' poetry?

All of the global issues throughout Hughes writing focused on the lack of understanding of colliding ideals. When black people wanted the rights they deserved and equality, Hughes represented the inequalities between black people and white people because, many white people didn't know that there was inequality since they were raised to look down on black people.

Brainstorm some global issues developed from TTTC.

Global issues addressed in TTTC are issues of war and how it makes societies alienated and strange. O'Brien addresses the savage nature of war, but also the ravage it deals to countries that start the war, for example, O'Brien mentions the alienation of soon to be soldiers, and how they are misunderstood and ignored or even taunted when they do not want to kill or die. O'Brien also mentions the lack of mental stability in soldiers post war and how many of them become invisible and others kill themselves since it's too much trauma to handle.

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

D&M connects with TTTC as it talks about the horrors of war, and the harsh reality of it's deadliness, and torture. It also connects with both beloved and Langston Hughes as it shows the oppression of Prisoners deemed inferior, similar to how black people were considered inferior to white.

How does D&M connect to our world today?

D&M connects to our world today, as the events that occurred in the book heavily construct the rules of human rights today. The events of WWII are never to happen again, and in order to prevent these actions from being repeated, the founder of IB was a holocaust survivor, making change long after his passing.

Reflection
How did you do during the Harkness discussions? What feedback did you receive? During the Harkness discussions, I did well on using textual evidence to support my claims whenever discussing global issues and their impact on the audience.

Notes
Ideas discussed in Harkness I want to remember:

The seed of freedom was acknowledged many times throughout Hughes writing. Hughes likes to highlight the experiences of many perspectives when discussing the oppression of black people, Hughes often refers to oppression as dirty and devastating to societal function.

Reflection
How did you do during the Harkness discussions?
The issue with the Harkness discussions is that it's awkward, we still bring remarkable thoughts of interpretation to the discussion, but I have noticed that the people sharing do get discouraged by silence, including me. Overall however the points discussed about each excerpt allowed me to better understand the book which meant I actually learned something from the meetings. I was also vey happy to get feedback on disagreeing viewpoints to my annotations

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 can be connected best with beloved as it can be seen the struggle of fitting in by both Marjane, and Denver in similar ways, as well as the independence these women show they are capable of achieving on their own.

How does Persepolis connect to our world today?

In our world today it is important to be understanding of other cultures. As I stated before I had no knowledge of the Iranian revolution, and this book was a very valuable lesson to me of how much more educated I should become

# 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.
I found a more in depth connection between COADF and TTTC since they both talked about the pressure of honor, but it also connected with Beloved and how people can obsess over something so much it harms themselves and others, it also connects to Hughes Poems since both are taken from a viewpoint of observation

How does Chronicle connect to our world today?
COADF connects with reoccuring gender roles, and the pressures of making family or friends or peers proud, or seeming cool, by doing irrational actions from peer pressure, to literal murder

# data[].attributes.body
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 has a deep connection to langston hughes works as both talk in detail of the stresses, and obstacles of oppression

How does Beloved connect to our world today?

Beloved can be seen as a very necessary book in todays scene especially with the previous 2020 George Floyd riots, and attempted CRT bans from the TVUSD school board. The continuation of teaching black history is very important

# data[].attributes.body
What connections can you make between some of Hughes' poems?  All of Hughes poems express an important viewpoint from activist movements in the 60s

How does Hughes' poems connect to other works we've read?
Hughes poems of freedom offer a connection to Tim O'Brien's writings of feeling trapped in the decision of either going to war or betraying his family and leaving the country.

How does Hughes' poetry connect to our world today?

The oppression of black people continue to live on today as there are ghettos that still exist and many racist assumptions that are made daily. The racism of calling black people an N-word lives on today, and even government officials were caught saying it in a private group message.

# data[].attributes.body
How does TTTC connect to other works we've read?
TTTC is very comparable to Ellie Wiesel's "Night" since it shows the terrors of human nature when at war in a more graphic way as the victim of human violence instead of an enforcer of that violence.

How does TTTC connect to our world today?
TTTC is a timeless writing since the moral of the story is not about Vietnam only, but about human nature and its deepest darkest unseen corners when in war.

Summer Assignment (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/10rB8-Y4HdAH6ajcjEfam8ag8AgcPuxVMdFhJa7NUpl8/edit?usp=sharing)
The summer assignment of the book acted as a lens of what the book means on the surface, but could have led to deeper understanding by writing about different messages throughout the book.
"On the Rainy River" Paragraph (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1j4aqWcxyfjYVoYoRxfFmrO9QZCP3dn3-hmVyUh5vwVU/edit?usp=sharing)
The first paragraph written on the TTTC book acted as a beginning stepping stone to better understanding O'Brien's message that is being conveyed in a complex and interconnected way
"How To Tell A True War Story" Paragraph (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wsai-6omXeyMa_B-DvS4gxu3IlKwLpnmUZ3jiKZy5YQ/edit?usp=sharing)
Writing about O'Brien's "How to Tell a True War Story" vignette" allowed me to better understand how O'Brien's claims are so intensely noticeable by recognizing patterns in his writing more than before.
TTTC Pastiche (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CshWbaNHyJ-0bGD_vpIIZnifZnjcSr3m16Op42TPzkM/edit?usp=sharing)
The TTTC pastiche allowed for me to completely understand why O'Brien was writing in a certain style. The pastiche allowed me to draw intense emotion from my writing and convey a message using the readers emotions

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)?

It can be seen by mostly Sethe's daughter, the power in a woman to provide for her family, and be independent among her community

What insights did the poetry of Langston Hughes offer about the African-American community in Harlem?
It offered a perspective of how the population of Harlem was given little opportunities in life as they were oppressed even after black people were declared equals with white people.

How does art reflect the community from which it comes?
The values and things seen as important show the communities values and morals as they focus on them as important and necessary in their art.

Camus exploration of the theme of absurdity provides good insight into a very repressed ideology of antiempathy. The main characters lack of empathy towards people in his life, and even the person he kills shows a sort of life that is negatively looked at, but the absurd viewpoint expands viewpoints which is important for research and discussion.

"Mother used to say the no matter how miserable one is, there's always something to be thankful for. And each morning when the sky brightened and light began to flood my cell, I agreed with her"

"Then I fired four more times at the motionless body where the bullets lodged without leaving a trace. And it was like knocking four times on the door of unhappiness"
