1. Why and how do we study literature? Why do we study TTTC?
We study literature to get the perspective of the war through stories and gain a scope in how the author feels. We study TTTC to get an idea of how people reacted to the Vietnam War and the soldiers' struggles through the eye of O'Brien who experienced it first hand.

2. How are we affected by literary texts in various ways? How are we impacted by TTTC?
We are affected by literary texts in various ways in that it could open up our minds and show us the different perspectives of the world. We were impacted by TTTC in that it helped me understand the struggles of gender stereotypes that people faced during the Vietnam War.

3. In what ways is meaning constructed, negotiated, expressed and interpreted in TTTC?
O'Brien often used paradox, simile, metaphor, symbolism, and all kinds of figurative language to convey his meanings

4. How does the structure of style of TTTC affect its meaning?
The style of TTTC affect its meaning because O'Brien's style contributes to how unpredictable the war was in how he jumps back and forth in the timeline

How did you do during the Harkness discussions?
I think I did pretty decent for my Harkness discussions. Even though it was really difficult for me to try and make myself talk, I'm proud that I was able to get some ideas out

Notes
When Rat Keily got on the helicopter and didn't know what happened to Mary Ann, it shows how Mary Ann disappeared from their lives, but it could also sybolize her loss of innocence and femininity]]> 2020-09-11 23:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/00701627981/9e8mvwgr4dbu9m44/wish/740564293 Connections 00701627981 https://padlet.com/00701627981/9e8mvwgr4dbu9m44/wish/740564295 How does TTTC connect to other works we've read?
TTTC connects with the novel Chronicle of A Death Foretold. They both discuss the topic of gender expectancies. In TTTC, O'Brien was expected to fight in the war since he was a man and men during this time were supposed to be "brave" and patriotic. In COADF, the Vicario twins ended up murdering Santiago because their family's honor was at stake, which was taught that it was important to men during the time the novel was set in


How does TTTC connect to our world today?
TTTC connect to our world today as there are still gender expectations. Males are expected to be confident and brave, or else they would be deemed a coward. On the other hand, females are expected to be feminine and innocent, although it is not as bad as it was years ago]]> 2020-09-11 23:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/00701627981/9e8mvwgr4dbu9m44/wish/740564295 Assessments and Reflections 00701627981 https://padlet.com/00701627981/9e8mvwgr4dbu9m44/wish/740564296 Summer Assignment (Link Here)

    How did you do during the Harkness discussions? What feedback did you receive?
    I think I've done fairly well in my Harkness discussions. I've used evidences and analyzed them in depth. The feedbacks I've received was to talk a little bit more

    Through many of his poems, Hughes mentioned lakes which seems to be a big part of him. I think the rivers symbolize the racism that was in America and how they were with him since he was little
    How does Hughes' poems connect to other works we've read?
    Hughes' poems connect to TTTC since they have similar global issues. Even though one is specifically to race and the other is to gender, they both discuss the inequalities that America had
    How does Hughes' poetry connect to our world today?
    Hughes' poetry connects to our world today as racism is still very common]]>     2020-09-11 23:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/00701627981/9e8mvwgr4dbu9m44/wish/740564312     Assessments and Reflections 00701627981 https://padlet.com/00701627981/9e8mvwgr4dbu9m44/wish/740564313 Hughes Writing Portfolio Week 1 (Link Here)

    It gave me an insight on how even if there were free black people, they still struggled in oppression. It also showed me that even if some of them had more luxury than the others, they still made sure that everyone was accounted for
    How does art reflect the community from which it comes?

    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 and style of Beloved affects the meaning because, for example, the stream-of-consciousness helps readers understand the thoughts of other characters in the book and how different/similar they are to each other

    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.
    Cultural and historical context is very important to the production and reception of Beloved because we need to know that Beloved takes place when slavery was still legal. This helps us somewhat understand the fear Sethe had when she escaped with a baby, and how her decision when she killed Beloved was out of love

Be detailed in how it connects with global issues and thematic and stylistic ideas to other works.
    Beloved connects with The Things They Carried because Tim O'Brien and Denver face similar problems where their decision is based on what people would think about them. O'Brien decides to go to war because he doesn't want to be labeled a coward while Denver shuts herself from the world in order to prevent herself from getting hurt even more

    How does Beloved connect to our world today?
    Beloved connects to our world today because wanting to be accepted by a certain group is still prevalent today as people sometimes do things that they feel like would make them acceptable, if it goes against their morals

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 specifically address issues of gender and power by including how Sethe and Paul D had different experiences on the treatment based off of their gender. Paul D questioned his masculinity many times throughout the book and constantly wonders if he is masculine enough. Sethe is challenged with the motherly role of trying to protect her children, but is misunderstood because of her ways of handling different situations. The structure, especially stream-of-consciousness, helps give insight on the thought of the women of 124, Baby Suggs, Sethe, Denver and Beloved. Though this, we can tell what each person is thinking and what their true intents are, helping voice the opinions of the women]]>     2020-09-11 23:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/00701627981/9e8mvwgr4dbu9m44/wish/740564323     Areas of Exploration 00701627981 https://padlet.com/00701627981/9e8mvwgr4dbu9m44/wish/740564325 Readers, Writers, Texts
    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?
    We are affected by Delbo's memoir by how she lets us see how much torment she and other people at the camp had to go through.

    A global issue that connects with all the texts would be how environment (what one experiences) affects how they act.

    How does Auschwitz connect to our world today?
    Auschwitz also connects with the world today since Delbo's actions were determined by the people she were surrounded by.
