Summary: A collection of 4 texts for the "First Year University Now" English program. Program description: English 17.1001 will be an extended exercise in critical thinking: questioning texts, ideologies, and our own reading practices. For example, we might explore how a text was received when originally published and how this reception has changed over time. We will read carefully to uncover what aspects of texts work to generate meaning for us as readers, and how they interact with one another. Students will also look at how they themselves read texts and what their reading process says about themselves as readers. Different genres of literature such as short fiction, drama, poetry and novels will be studied, applying a varying critical lens (such as Postmodernism and other literary theoretical frames) at each stage to analyze how the texts are doing the work that they set out to do. The goal of the course is to create a heightened critical awareness combined with an ability to express that awareness in thoughtful, powerful writing. A majority of class time will be discussionbased, with fewer professor lectures and more small group and classbased engagement with the texts at hand. An emphasis will also be placed on formal academic writing skills in anticipation of future work at a university level. "Atonement". On the hottest day of the summer of 1934, thirteenyearold Briony Tallis sees her sister Cecilia strip off her clothes and plunge into the fountain in the garden of their country house. Watching her is Robbie Turner, her childhood friend who, like Cecilia, has recently come down from Cambridge. "The English patient". With ravishing beauty and unsettling intelligence, Michael Ondaatje's Booker Prizewinning novel traces the intersection of four damaged lives in an Italian villa at the end of World War II. Hana, the exhausted nurse; the maimed thief, Caravaggio; the wary sapper, Kip: each is haunted by the riddle of the English patient, the nameless, burned man who lies in an upstairs room and whose memories of passion, betrayal, and rescue illuminates this book like flashes of heat lightening.
