ENG 2355 - FYS: Tradition & Identity in Contemporary Literature
Credit(s): 3
This course is designed to investigate the influence of the past on the present, especially as this influence affects individual identity, purpose and fulfillment. Our focus will be on people’s responses to family contemporary essays, autobiography and fiction, and on our own examination of the past and its influence in our lives. Whenever we identify who we are, we make choices: What do we want or need to emphasize about ourselves? How will people respond to what they learn about us? Will our freedom and control (both short- and long-term) be enhanced or constrained as a result? What combination of skills, influences, insights and effort will give us the best chance of meeting life on its own terms and making the most of it and of ourselves?
