| ENG 272M engages students in the study and interpretation of selected literary works of Hawai'i, Oceania, and Asia, focusing on the interaction between and among peoples and cultures as reflected in literature and exploring such themes as place and identity, migration and colonization, conflicts among cultural norms and ideals, and responses to change (resistance, assimilation, alienation, transformation). Course work includes critical thinking skills related to interpreting the significance of the action, characters, themes, and literary devices used by the author. Emphasis is placed on writing, both as a way of discovering ideas and as a way of expressing knowledge of the reading material. Students are expected to be actively engaged in responding to the literature. As students read, discuss, and write about the literature, they should gain a better understanding of themselves and the world they live in. |
