| Description: | Human beings start life as infants, then gradually grow into mature adults. This painstaking, and often perilous process, forms the subject of an important set of narratives-coming of age stories-that offer excellent opportunities for exploring the ways that universal human experiences and concerns interact with social and cultural differences. In this course we will read coming of age stories written by James Baldwin, Amy Tan, Toni Morrison, Sandra Cisneros, Gary Soto, John Updike, William Faulkner, and other American authors. We will also view films that explore how the process of self development is addressed and represented from a variety for perspectives. |
