    Description
    (Prerequisite: Eligibility for college-level composition, ENGL C1000/ ENGL C1000H/ ENGL C1000E/C-ID ENGL 100 or equivalent.) This course introduces the popular American novel, especially those adapted for the screen, through reading selected works of a variety of authors (such as Fitzgerald, Capote, Morrison, Vonnegut, DeLillo, and Boyle) and related criticism, which might also be supplemented with videos, graphics, and other related texts. Students read and write about literature, and explore questions of interpretation, evaluation, and definition within a cultural and historical context. They analyze and compare selected works for thematic content and express their understanding through written responses, examinations, presentations, and classroom discussion.
