LITR201 Literature: A Reflection of Life

This course examines how literature can illuminate issues and themes and provide life lessons. Students will study how to read texts for the essential elements of expression: voice, form, theme and character and how to articulate an intelligent response to a piece of fiction, which includes short stories and poetry. Students will reflect on how reading can provide a means to understanding one’s self, others, our culture and the way diverse perspectives add to learning. Students will also explore how finding one’s authentic voice in fiction can be a profound expression of the experience of being human.
