Class Introduction
This course is designed for students who have already mastered the fundamentals of literature and writing, and are now ready to take their skills to the next level. Through in-depth discussions and close readings of a variety of literary works, students will deepen their understanding of literary analysis, develop their writing skills, and explore the historical and cultural contexts of literature.
In this course, we will cover a wide range of literary movements, styles, and authors. We will examine the underlying themes and motivations of works and analyze the literary techniques used by authors to convey their messages. We will also explore the ways in which literature reflects and shapes the cultural and historical contexts in which it was created.
Through engaging discussions and biweekly writing assignments, students will develop their critical thinking and analytical skills, gain a deeper appreciation for the power of literature, and be better prepared for future academic pursuits.
