	According to a North-American native tale and belief, the Earth has a particular conception. This results from the native's observing nature and its phenomena. Read the text that follows:
"There is another world under this earth. It is like this one in every way. The animals, the plants, and the people are the same, but the seasons are different. The streams that come down from the mountains are the trails by which we reach this underworld. The springs at their head are the doorways by which we enter it. But in order to enter the other world, one must fast and then go to the water, and have one of the underground people for a guide. We know that the seasons in the underground world are different because the water in the spring is always warmer in winter than the air in this world; and in summer the water is cooler" (KURANT, 2019, p. 19).

	(ENADE, 2014) "Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
« Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more."
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore -
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore -
Nameless here for evermore.
And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,
Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door -
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; -
This it is, and nothing more."

	(ENADE, 2017) During an American Literature survey course at an American university, there was a racial incident at the university library. It was bad enough to make the President of the university send a message condemning racism and improper behavior and to lead many African American students hold protests and marches on campus.
In the final exam period, the professor responsible for the survey course exhorted students that such incidents show why we need to study literature, specifically literature of diverse voices from the past. He mentioned some texts which directly addressed white readership about the hypocrisy of racial bias, as a prime example of the type of literary work that the offending student, and all students, should be reading so as to interrogate critically their own prejudices and to nullify or respond thoughtfully to such hateful acts. He also encouraged them to be activists in addition to scholars, to speak up against injustice while remembering the lessons of earlier American culture wars.
As the ensuing final project presentations demonstrated, he needn't have bothered. The class had already internalized these lessons and applied them to their anthology and literary recovery projects. These projects recovered forgotten or neglected voices and put them into conversation with our world of 2015 or grouped together activist or subversive texts from American writers. Regardless of the topic they chose, these students were making pre-1900 American literature speak to their time as well as to its own. In essence, this was the entire point of the survey course, which, throughout the semester, worked to surface issues of canon : who's in, who's out, and who decides, and what points in history.
