Description

This writing course focuses on the creation of complex, analytic, well-supported arguments that matter in academic courses. You will work closely with me and your peers to form effective close reading habits, hone your critical thinking skills, and develop your written prose. In this iteration of ENGLISH 125, we will cultivate a set of strategies to think and write critically about fantasy and escapism in poetry, songs, and films. Our reading/listening/viewing materials will include: poems by Elizabeth Bishop, Mary Oliver, T. S. Eliot, and Theodore Roethke; songs by Nina Simone; an aria from Puccini’s opera Madama Butterfly; and Hayao Miyazaki’s animation Spirited Away.
