Meet Guilliver, Gregor Samsa, and a whole host of characters who witness or experience literal body transformations. Through close reading and research, students will have the opportunity to investigate how and why these different changes take place in addition to thinking about the general transformative role of literature. Students will write several short assignments and for the final project will write a transformative short story of their own accompanied by an introductory essay.
