week-6 discussion
1) Defining Prose Narrative (graded) |
Poetry, drama, essays, and prose fiction are all made of words. Let's begin by examining how prose differs from other genres of writing?
As the week progresses, we will explore the following questions:
- How do setting, description, and plot contribute to theme?
- How is character developed?
- What is the role of the narrator (and the omniscient narrator)?
- Why should we believe (or disbelieve) in the narrator’s ability to give us the truth?

2) The Critical Mind (graded) |
Literary criticism requires one to look through, behind, beyond, underneath, and above the text. It requires skepticism, sensitivity to language, and a deep understanding of contextual issues. How might you apply the habits of the “well-tempered critic” to ordinary life? For example, is the news a literary text or a text that might be read critically? Is society a text? Are you yourself a text that might be scrutinized, “read,” and held up to critical inspection? Are the tools of the critic useful to business, ethics, family, work, and the self in society?
