our syllabus

American author John Steinbeck wrote: “In every bit of honest writing in the world there is a base theme: try to understand men. If you understand each other, you will be kind to each other. Knowing a man well never leads to hate and nearly always leads to love."  Through our reading and discussion of a variety of genres of literature, students will examine situations in which individuals struggle to understand concepts of identity and perspective. We will examine the impact of choices through both our reading and writing endeavors. We will learn about basic literary and rhetorical theory and apply our new knowledge to the critical analysis and interpretation of texts.
