Intertextuality
How valid is the notion of a "classic" literary text? What makes Persepolis "literary" even though it is a graphic novel?
I believe that Persepolis is literary due to the fact that the images spread a message. Even though there are small amounts of text, I still think that the images, placement of the images, order of the images, and style within the images spread the message that was intended by Satrapi.

Time and Space
What insight did Persepolis give you into Iranian life during and after the revolution?
I gained insight on the overall treatment and situation of the citizens of Iran. I also gained insight into the emotional aspect of the citizens and how some were devastated and angry while others were terrified and simply conformed to the governments restrictions and limitations.

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.
I feel like Beloved connects to TTTC on an emotional level. Both stories are brought up by trauma and the main characters all develop a form of mental illness due to this. For example Sethe and O'Brien could be suffering from depression and PTSD. Whereas Denver could be suffering from anxiety.

How does Beloved connect to our world today?
Beloved connects to our world today by introducing how trauma can affect the lives of people through mental illness. Also it introduces the idea of family and the need for togetherness, support, and love.

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

We approach literary text from different times and cultures by relating it to our own time and culture. It is simpler to understand a text when you can relate it to your own life. It provides meaning and more understanding for you, as the reader.

2. To what extent do literary texts offer insight into another culture?

Literary texts offer insight into other cultures because authors write poetry in their own style that connects to their own culture. As someone who is not part of the authors culture, information can be spread and educated across the world and other cultures. For example, in Langston Hughes works, I had a true insight into the black community and the tragic journey they endured.

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

The meaning and impact of a literary text changes over time based on what has changed on the world. For example, when slavery is written about, people read it as a time from the past and we reflect from a future stance. However, when women's rights or racism is written about in the past, the world still sees it as relevant in our world. The impact of a text can be shown whether the issue is still prominent in todays society or not.

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 style that Morrison uses, when it comes to shift of tones, affects the meaning by developing the plot and characters. The more that different characters get to say and show the readers, the more in depth we can learn about their story.

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 Fugitive Slave Act puts the story into perspective because when you educate yourself of this topic, you are able to understand the plot more. Also, when you understand the plot, you can understand why certain characters act or behave the way they do based on their surroundings.

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?
Personally I was very moved by Auschwitz and After. I felt as though I could relate to small parts, yet I will never fully be able to comprehend the pain that the people in the internment camps endured. Personally, I cannot imagine what they endured especially when so many were confused as to why they were even placed in these camps; separated from their families for an unknown amount of time. I have experienced horrors such as the death of a family member and neighbor so I can understand a small part of Delbo’s emotions, however, it is nowhere near the level of pain she endured in that camp. I felt a feeling of despair and loneliness for weeks while mourning the death of loved ones so to imagine how Delbo felt is something I cannot even comprehend.

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 connects to Columbian culture through machismo. Men would complete actions  to show to the community that they possessed a strong sense of masculine pride; machismo. Abiding by these masculine norms rather than stepping out of them creates a more destruction and evil rather than a pleasant result.

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

We study literature in order to further expand our knowledge in our language and create more knowledge for other people. We study TTTC in order to learn about our past but as well as topics of truth, changing identity, and mental health struggles. These topics could spread awareness to the readers as well as possibly relate to the reader.

2. How are we affected by literary texts in various ways? How are we impacted by TTTC?
We are affected by literary texts by just simply learning more about our language and its syntax as well as creating a deep connection with the author. This could spike a passion for literature and writing. I was impacted by TTTC because the mental health aspect relates to my life and it is comforting reading others stories, especially O'Brien's.

3. In what ways is meaning constructed, negotiated, expressed and interpreted in TTTC?
Meaning is constructed by O'Brien in TTTC by including a sense of vulnerability in the text which really connects the reader to O'Brien. Meaning is negotiated in this story because he is not always telling the truth. I feel as though the book is an open interpretation to  understand what truly happened. Meaning is expressed by creating detailed imagery of the events that he endured which makes the readers feel connected to the story as well, not just O'Brien. Meaning is interpreted by O'Brien's validity of truth. The storytelling aspect is more important to O'Brien than the reality of the events.

4. How does the structure of style of TTTC affect its meaning?
The story telling style affects TTTC's meaning because it makes the whole book seem more realistic. It is almost styled as a diary in past tense which makes the meaning of the text important to the readers. It's almost as if you are reading a person's whole life which makes the reader build trust with the author as well as connect with him on an emotional level.

Four Corners Discussion:
-Men and Women have different roles/responsibilities in our society.

-Our society has grown and is very different from the past, the old ways of thinking don’t allow for men and women to break free of roles, but now we are able to be a little more free.

-We still have stereotypes for men and women that society has kept in place

-younger generations need to fix these stereotypes, younger generations may be more judgmental

-social media has created a divide, made the gender norms more prevalent

- Judgment of oneself has stemmed from viewing others and comparing them to oneself (social media)

COADF Harkness Notes Ch 1 & 2

Question 3: Everything was written in a whimsical tone and then an instance of horror or surprise is introduced. It almost juxtaposed the entire tone of happiness and lightness.

Question 6: It was shocking because the shop lady watched everything happen. It was also saddening because no one cared that he died. This could also reveal parts of Santiago's character because no one liked him and this could be because of a reason that we will be introduced to in the future. The narrator paints him as a kind character however the people that know him, do not find him appealing.

Question 2: The narrator seems credible however he also puts everything in Santiago's favor so it could be a biased story. Personally hearing the perspectives from other characters could give us insight into why Santiago is such a disliked character by some.

Question 4: Santiago is described as more careful and rich due to the things he has inherited. He is seen as maybe more privileged than most. Also religious due to the fact that he got dressed up for the bishop. It’s almost comedic that he had all these weapons but got killed so easily with knives.

COADF Harkness Notes Ch 3
Question 1: The brothers thought it was honorable to kill Santiago however it is immoral to the readers. The perspectives are different when it comes to the readers versus the characters in the book. Honor comes up in an ironic way throughout the story.

Question 2: This is ironic because to the readers this act is immoral however to the characters, the act is okay to perform. People in the book believe that it doesn't matter if he dies however the readers believe this action is morally wrong. The sentence juxtaposes itself.

Reflection
How did you do during the Harkness discussions?
I did well. I asked a question and used plentiful evidence to connect to my global issue of mental health. I tried getting others involved as well to keep the discussion going.
Notes
Ideas discussed I want to remember:
- the affect of war can alter the way you think or act in the future. For example, PTSD from war soldiers. Or even during the war, anxiety and depression can take over
- The River symbolizes two difficult decisions which is where O'Brien's anxiety begins during his war journey
- O'Brien uses lots of questions in order to get the reader more involved and interested in his situations where he felt anxious

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.

Persepolis connects to works such as Langston Hughes poetry works through the common theme of rebellion. Both Hughes and Satrapi try and use themselves as advocates for change within their societies. For example, Hughes would gather people and empower them to fight for rights and freedom from slavery. Satrapi would rebel by wearing informal clothes and buying illegal commodities. Both connect to the overall global issue of rebellion against the government.

How does Persepolis connect to our world today?

Persepolis connects to our world today through her activism against the government. Many people in todays society advocate for freedom, certain rights, and justice from the government whether it be in America or developing countries.

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.
All characters from TTTC and Auschwitz and After experienced the traumas brought upon them by their draining environments and it drastically shifted their mental status and morality. However the difference amongst the similarities of the characters is the outcome of the traumatic spaces. The people at Auschwitz became greedy and cruel rather than helpful and caring towards others after trying to create survival for themselves. In The Things They Carried extract, we can view how environment can also force one to commit unwilling acts such as muder in order to survive even though O’Briens morality stance did not wish death upon anyone.

How does Auschwitz connect to our world today?
Auschwitz and After connects to our world because it shows how internment camps affect the people within them. It is a cruel and punishable act to perform these acts on innocent people. For example, today there are people in Myranmar who are being put in internment camps and treated terribly. I just hope that people in the future can realize that making the same mistakes is cruel to the people in our world.

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.
Throughout the entirety of the book, the Vicario brothers are fighting for their honor as well as their sister’s. As her brothers they are expected by society to protect and avenge her as men. The entire book creates a tone of revenge which I believe, stems from this idea that men need to advocate for women and fight for them. This is a common theme seen throughout this book and history in general; women are seen as incapable to stand up for themselves or, that is not their job in society. The author then utilizes biblical diction and figures in other parts of the text that support what the brothers did. This develops the idea that norms affect actions because it is ironic that God is brought up in such a morbid occurrence considering that murder is a sin. The brothers thought that murdering Santiago was a way to protect their sister; proving how these normalities have changed their mental state in a horrendous way. They are facing challenges of anxiety if they do not perform as they should. Even afer the murder they can reasonably be identified as somewhat psychotic based off of their lack of empathy and denial of committing the crime in the first place.
How does Chronicle connect to our world today?
Chronicle connects to our world because of gender norms. Gender norms of men being strong are implanted in this story and it relates to the men of the world today. They try and prove their masculinity through certain acts solely because they believe it's what they are expected to do.

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)?

I think the novel does a good job of addressing women empowerment by making Sethe such a large part of the book. She shows immense character development as well as struggle. This amplifies the voices of females that were left unheard during slavery times. The structure and style of the book give voice to the thoughts of women because it is not just summary but rather the characters feelings and emotions towards what happened or what was happening to them in the book.

Reflection
How did you do during the Harkness discussions? What feedback did you receive?

I did well during my Harkness and I explained everything very well and connected it back to my global issue every time. I used an abundance of literary techniques while still staying focused on the prompt.

Notes
Ideas discussed in Harkness I want to remember:

I was advised to be more confident with my language and expand it. However I was complimented on my organization and ability to tie everything back to my global issue.

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

Hughes' poems all bring light to issues of inequality. In some poems he speaks solely about Black people, however in others like , "Let America Be America Again", he speaks of many minority groups who are segregated against.

How does Hughes' poems connect to other works we've read?

Hughes poems connects to The Things They Carried because of the mindsets of the characters and people. Both people form the book and poems face hardship an ego through a faze of depression and not feeling like they are enough. Although they are completely different works, they both bring awareness towards trauma and mental illness struggles.

How does Hughes' poetry connect to our world today?

Hughes' poetry connects to our world by bringing light to prominent issues like racism that still exist in our world. For example, Hughes speaks of mistreatment of Black people and in todays society I see that still occurring which is why movements such as BLM exist.

# data[].attributes.body
What insights did the poetry of Langston Hughes offer about the African-American community in Harlem?

Langston Hughes poetry offered insight into the lives of Black Americans in Harlem by explaining the difficult lives they lives. I also have become more educated on the trauma and inequality they faced simply because of their race. I felt what they felt during that time of difficulty due to the way Hughes wrote his poems.

How does art reflect the community from which it comes?

Art reflects the community it comes from based on emotion. For example, Black Americans from the time period that Hughes wrote in most likely displayed art that represented their feelings and emotions while incorporating styles and techniques from their culture or community. Their pain and agony  was most likely represented in their art.
