How are we affected by Delbo's memoir and her imperative for us to "Try and look. Try to see?" How were you affected by Auschwitz and After
I was affected by Auschwitz and After because of how personal and real Delbo's portrayal of the Holocaust and her experience as a Holocaust survivor were. The emotion behind every vignette impacted me and the way I view the world and certain global issues because it allowed me to learn about this period of time from a first-person perspective. We are affected by Delbo's memoir and her imperative for us to "Try and Look. Try and see" because it provides new perspectives and experiences in a way that only a Holocaust survivor like Delbo could portray them.

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. 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.

Knowing history and culture of that time helped the creation and reception of Beloved greatly because that knowledge allowed that time period/story to be portrayed accurately.

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 to the production and reception of a literary text because it makes the text feel more accurate and alive. Without that historical/cultural context, the text is not as meaningful.

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?

4. How does the meaning and impact of a literary text change over time?                                        The meaning and impact of a literary text changes over time as we go through more experiences and leave the past in the past. Over time, those stories become a part of history, which becomes important to learn about. The meaning and impact changes from something to current to something that someone or something endured in the past, which becomes a learning experience for readers over time. With new ideas and morals developed over time, the meaning and impact of a literary text can change as well.

5. How do literary texts reflect, represent or form a part of cultural practices?                    Literary text reflects, represents, and/or forms a part of cultural practices because it often talks about past stories/traditions/history about certain cultures, therefore it represents, forms, and reflects on the cultural practices of the cultures written about.

6. How does language represent social distinctions and identities?

Why do humans read and write stories? Why do you read and write stories?  Write about a paragraph.
Humans read and write stories to portray their thoughts, emotions, past triumphs and traumas, and to teach future generations about a certain topic or point in history. We read and write stories to educate ourselves about themes such as culture, identity, fantasy, and history, as well as to enrich our minds. I enjoy reading because it allows me to see the world through a different person's point of view, whether it is historical, made up, or subjective.

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 gender, writing, and power through the character's point of views and personal experiences. The structure and style of the novel gives voice to "the thoughts of the women of 124, unspeakable thoughts, unspoken" because it allows the past and present to be combined together for readers to understand the full extent of the character's life and trauma. It allows for the private thoughts of each character to be exposed to the readers to find a deeper understanding of the plot.

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.

Auschwitz and After connects to our world today because it provides insight to a very important time in history. It also dives into themes such as identity, trauma, humanity and the evil capabilities of man, which are themes that will always be present in our world.
