Thematic Focus:
With a focus on different literary genres - including a novel, a short story collection, and a book of poetry - we will be exploring themes of childhood and identity across different time frames and cultural contexts. Through lectures, class discussions, research projects, and group presentations, we will practice different ways to interpret literature. As the second transfer-level reading and composition course, the goal of English 110 is to survey a sample of critical theories that will deepen, inform, and transform your understanding and appreciation for literature.
