ENG 105 - Who Am I?

Semester Hours: 4

Sometimes we tell our own stories because we want to figure out what our lives might mean; we want to know who we are. In this course, we’ll read memoirs and novels concerned with the problem of identity and its representation. Students will also write creatively about their own lives. Graded work will include short papers, quizzes, participation, and an essay exam. Tobias Wolff’s This Boy’s Life, Tara Westover’s Educated, and J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye are among the works we will be reading.
