1. How important is cultural or historical context to the production and reception of a literary text?
   Historical context is extremely important to the reception of a literary text because author's make several allusions to the ongoing events during their lifetime, often in response or in awareness of the news. Sometimes author's bring up a far past to connect to the present, or bring the current events to light to fight against them.
2. How do we approach literary texts from different times and cultures to our own?
   We approach literary texts from different times and cultures by understanding that the language, the people, and the societal norms were different, in order to look past what we would label as strange or uncommon in our modern day. While seeing the perspective of different cultures, we are to respect their traditions and learn about their experiences and history.
3. How does the meaning and impact of a literary text change over time? 
   Over time, the impact of a literary text can stay quite constant, as the author's choices are structured to affect the reader. However, the audience will surely change and generations later may see far different situations in society, which bring texts from the past a more significant meaning as they remind the future generations and allow them to realize the evolution of mankind.

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. 
   It gives a depth to the way the audience's knowledge and understanding of the characters grows as more gets revealed about each of them in different contexts. It places a different importance and symbolic meaning on how the characters interact, their behavior and differing consciences portray the effects of the past and how the characters were affected by their surroundings.

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.
   Historical context is very important as the story, though fiction, alludes to many events that had happened throughout many different slaves' lives and journeys, despite their lives not following that exact timeline, it reminded the audience of the brutality of slavery that in events that had been forgotten and overlooked. The characters were receptive of the way society responded to African Americans, as it described a time where slavery was present as well as its traumatic trace that followed the characters in a freer society.

1. How does Chronicle offer insight into Columbian culture? Consider what we've learned about with machismo, marianismo, honor and the impact of colonialism.
   Within the book, the microcosm community represents a lot of qualities that Columbian culture has, especially concerning gender roles. The characters portray the effect that machismo and marianismo standards have on the people, where men are expected to keep a facade of strength and an unfaltering masculinity. Women are seen as pure and innocent figures that must maintain a calm and compliant posture. Along with this, women were expected to keep their virginity until marriage, being raised for an honorable position. Honor is objectified heavily that those who break these standards are considered to not belong, worthy of exile and even death.
