1. How important is cultural or historical context to the production and reception of a literary text?
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?
   
   The way that different cultures view the world is translated directly into their literature. Hughes is honestly a great example of this, through his poems we can see the world in a completely different light. I personally have never had to deal with racial, gender, sexual, religious, or any discrimination, as I am a white Christian man, the most basic of basic. So being able to see what a person of color like Hughes sees made me understand how horrible it was for a person like him in the 1950s.
   
   
4. How does the meaning and impact of a literary text change over time? 
   
   The meaning of a literary text is heavily context-based, but that context changes drastically over time. For example, Hughes' poems don't apply as heavily to America today as they did to America 70 years ago, because that battle that he fought has been won for the most part. But it can go the other way around. Take literature such as Shakespeare, and how his works have left a permanent impact on literature as a whole. The way poems and plays and books changed because of Shakespeare will continue to matter in today's world forever. 
5. How do literary texts reflect, represent or form a part of cultural practices? 
6. How does language represent social distinctions and identities? 
   
   You can learn a lot about someone not only by the language they speak but by the language they use. Let's take dialects for example. The way people form different sentences or what they call different things is a gateway into their personal lives. People with more southern dialects tend to speak with more vigor in their words, while more northern people speak with sophistication. This doesn't apply to everyone of course, but the further you look into the way someone speaks, the more insight you gain on who that person really is.

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.

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 offers us insight into Columbian culture by showing us the exaggerated unfairness of machismo norms, where men are seen as pillars and women seen as objects. Santiago's death being so imperative to the story is a way of showing irony in the culture, as a man was killed by other men for being accused of assaulting a woman.

Line of inquiry:

In the memoir, An American Childhood, how does Dillard use symbolism in the motif of environment and imagination to convey the purpose that innocence serves in childhood?

1.5 Analysis

1. Motifs of religion and mortality are the two that really stood out to me from Hamlet. 1984 relates to mortality with what Winston goes through at the end of the story along with vaporization, and religion ties into American Childhood with it playing a part in Annie's childhood.

2. The fight between Hamlet and Laertes, along with Hamlet's "Poor Yorrick" speech follow those same motifs with mortality and forgiveness as the central themes of those scenes.
