Students will find common patterns between famous works of fiction and their everyday lives, enhancing their literary knowledge and communication skills in the process. English 113 focuses on analyzing different types of narration (i.e., first-person and third person) in a variety of literary media. Authors will be used to ask questions about how authors' narration and medium decisions affect how we read and understand their texts. In answering these questions, students will have the opportunity to actively improve their analytical, reading, and writing skills.
