ENGL 100 Controlling Narratives 6 credits
Do we lose control in hurrying to seize it? Gyasi's fictional character poses the question, "Do we have control over our thoughts?" Ta-Nehisi Coates' experiences convince him that he has no control over his own body. In addition to Gyasi's Transcendent Kingdom and Coates' Between the World and Me, we will read an autobiography, a memoir, essays, as well as an anthropologist's narrative on college life and discuss the differing scenarios in which control might be beyond reach, negotiated, staged, wrested away, or strategically ceded. Equally important: Is the control you exercise over your own writing constant or sporadic?
Held for new first year students.
