FYSP 109 - Odysseys and Identities


Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 4 hours
Attribute: 4HU, WR
Students will read Homer’s Odyssey and several narratives that evoke and reinterpret that work, including the Cohen brothers’ O Brother Where Art Thou, Atwood’s The Penelopiad, and Martel’s The Life of Pi. We will consider the idea of the journey home as a typical structure for narratives of identity, and we will analyze the problem of unreliable narrators in these stories. Students will work extensively on their composition skills.
