About the Course:

In this two-week course, students will explore and discuss the elements of fiction—plot, voice, style, setting, point of view and symbolism—while reading a classic work of American literature. They will write two short analytical essays in which they practice formulating a thesis and building an original argument based on their growing understanding of the text.  Classes will be discussion-based, organized around the students’ observations and interests.  Along with the assigned reading, each class will focus on one element of fiction and one aspect of good writing.

About the Book ana Author:

Zora Neale Hurston (January 7, 1891 – January 28, 1960) was an American author, anthropologist, and filmmaker. Her works, which portray racial struggles in the early-1900s American South--and particularly the struggles of African-American women--have become classics of American literature and have influenced such literary giants as Alice Walker and Toni Morrison.  Hurston’s most popular novel is Their Eyes Were Watching God (published in 1937).
