Dearly by Margaret Atwood
Dearly by Margaret Atwood
This course will focus on Atwood's Dearly. After a brief introduction on Atwood, the student will get an overview of the key themes, symbols, and literary devices present in the body of work. we will then delve into the social and historical context in which her work was produced.
The student will then be guided through close readings and analysis of the works, including guided annotations which will help the student to not only pick up on literary and stylistic devices employed, but the effects of the devices individually and in tandem. In addition to developing the student’s understanding of the work's language, structure, and meaning, the course will provide guided analyses and help interpret the work in order for the student to form their own informed opinions. Throughout this course, we will also consider the ways in which Atwood’s work has been received and interpreted.
We will also pay special attention to literary analyses in written form, and as such the student will be guided and coached to be able to compose their own detailed literary analyses and written arguments. By the end of the course, students will have the skills and knowledge necessary to confidently discuss and provide detailed literary analyses for "Dearly", while meeting curriculum criterions.
