Humans are storytellers. In this course, students answer questions about how stories work across genres and mediums, focusing on the universal qualities all good narratives share. Students read classic and modern fairy tales, examples of the epic tradition, fictions, plays, various archetypal approaches to narrative, and the writings of Joseph Campbell and others. Students apply narrative conventions to produce an original story of their own making. Prerequisite(s): ENGL 123. Attributes: Humanities/Fine Arts
