Masterpieces of LatinAmerican Literature
Class Description: Reading and discussion of selected masterworks of literature as they reflect the historical, political, and social context of the Latin American and Caribbean experience. Students are introduced to critically reading, writing, and discussing the form and content of these literary masterpieces.
Personal Reflection: The Masterpieces of Latin American Literature course was extremely instrumental in further understanding how contemporary literature came to be as a result of Spanish classic literature. This course helped students with analyzing and interpreting classical pieces of Spanish literature, the quality of the classical pieces introduced throughout this course was exquisite. Much of the material introduced helped in portraying the Latin American countries through a contextual immersion, which allowed for a subjective interpretation of the issues at hand. This course fulfilled the requirements laid out by the Major Learning Outcome 3, which encompasses the Literary and Cultural knowledge outcome. At the end of this course I felt like I had the ability to understand the meaning and motives behind some of the pieces that were dealt throughout the course. This understanding of material dealt in class gave me and other students the confidence to undertake the analyzing of material which has been analyzed in the past. It also, allowed students to gain a better understanding for some of the reasons that some of the authors had in pursuing the topics that they chose to write about in their literature.
