The Real McCoy: Constructing Identity
RUSS 232
Fall 2015
| Section:
01
|
Crosslisting:
REES 232, RULE 232 |
We are what we read: The critical reader has the ability to form his/her identity consciously, while literary characters are destroyed by failing to recognize the forces and assumptions shaping them. Active interpretation of texts allows the reader to become an author instead of a character. We will practice our own authorship in three peer-edited papers. |
