COURSE TEXTS
COURSE TEXTS
Students are introduced to concepts in our narrative studies unit through a handful of stories contained in this text, including "Loathe at First Sight," by Ellen Conford, "Moonface," by Richardo Keens-Douglas, and "Doing Something," by R.P. MacIntyre. Concepts studied include plot, character, setting, theme, and other foundational narrative elements.
Probably the best known of all Shakespeare's plays, Romeo and Juliet tells the story of two "star-crossed lovers" who, despite hailing from feuding families with years of animosity separating them, fall in love and make plans to be married - that is, until the family fighting spills into their personal lives and forces them to make desperate choices with unforeseen consequences.
