Question 4:

Very Hard

Analyzing the excerpt from the novel 'Vidas Secas' by Graciliano Ramos: 'Sinha Vitória, with her eyes squinted, tried to see the things that the sun cast over the strands of hair.' Then, based on the understanding of literature's role as a form of social denunciation, relate the highlighted excerpt to a contemporary issue in Brazil. Develop an argument justifying the choice of the issue and discuss how the excerpt can be interpreted as a social critique that remains current. To do this, you must consider the historical and social context in which the book was written, as well as the current reality of Brazil, demonstrating the continuity of social issues addressed by the author. Additionally, explore the interdisciplinarity of the theme, citing a concept from another area of knowledge that can enrich your argumentation, such as Sociology, History, or Economics.

Considering this aspect, analyze the critical function of Brazilian literature and point out at least two other examples of literary works that also address important social issues in their historical context. Additionally, compare them with a contemporary text that addresses current issues in Brazilian society.
