Mod+World+Lit


 * WELCOME TO MODERN WORLD LITERATURE!**

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Modern World Literature is designed to acquaint students with unfamiliar diverse cultures. Students will also explore the increasing complexity of modern writers grappling with Twentieth Century alienation and loneliness. The course will challenge the students to assess their values and to make connections between the literature and modern society. While continuing to develop higher thinking skills, students will engage in independent reading. Student writing will focus on comparison/contrast papers and literary criticism.

Moral questions to be addressed in the course will include: What makes an act right? Are we free to choose? How should we live? What may we hope? What is the meaning of life? Do we survive death? What does a good man/woman do? How do we arrive at truth?
