Class today: January 11th

Historical Context: The influence of a time period on the author and their literary piece. (Not setting)

GULAG: Acronym for Glavnoye Upravleniye Lagery, "Main Administration of the Camps"

Even more broadly, "Gulag" has come to mean the Soviet repressive system, itself, the set of procedures that prisoners called the 'meat grinder': The arrests, the interrogations, the transport in unheated cattle cars, the forced labor, the destruction of families, the years spent in exile, the early and unnecessary deaths- Anne Applebaum, The Gulag 

After watching Anne Applebaum's interview, plus the work you have done with HC and Ivan, prepare notes in your class notes on the following prompt. Use specific examples from Ivan in your exploration.

What is the influence of the social and cultural context on language and meaning in Ivan Denisovich.
