Belonging in Literature (1)

Course Description

Big question:  Why do we care about fitting in?

Being part of a group makes us feel connected to others.  We feel that we have something to offer and that we are part of something bigger than ourselves.  But what if we sit outside the group?  What if we do not value what they do?  In this course we will explore what it is to be an outsider.  We will explore the lengths people will go to to belong and what happens when they don’t.
