Course Description

Conflict in Literature is a course in which students are introduced to various short stories that all share the six literary forms of conflict.  Together, they will discuss the core elements of the book and break them down in order to understand the importance of conflict in a literary work and how different forms of conflict can intersect in the same story. In addition to conflict, students would also explore aspects of theme, symbolism, metaphor, intention, and more, as it relates to the overarching story of the characters within the book. By doing so, the students will not only gain an understanding of a well-known literary work but also be able to apply these skills to future literary material they encounter during their educational journey.
