Theme for English 1B
Check the semester's class schedule to see which focus a given semester will have.
Focus one:
Southern Regionalism from the turn into the 20th century to mid 20th century holds glimpses into our country's history with war and PTDS, men's and women's roles, work, social structure, classism and racism. It was a time of upheaval that precursed many of the social changes that came to light in the 60's and beyond.
Focus two:
In this course, we will look at the significance of nature as setting, tool for making a persuasive argument, and inspiration. Our novella, A Psalm for the Wild-Born, asks the reader to consider what is necessary in order to live in harmony with nature and others. We will also consider how one knows or does not know oneself, truthfulness, and deceit, when reading Othello. Look at the syllabus here.
