This course is an advanced version of EN102 for Cadets who validate EN101. The course revolves around the innovative interpretation of literary texts, though it simultaneously acquaints Cadets with strategies for grounding these interpretations in concrete textual evidence and logical inferences. EN152 promotes close, deliberate reading of literary works, and presents a comprehensive overview of the terms and tenets of literary studies. Due to the fact that students enrolled in EN152 will have placed out of EN101, the course places less emphasis on learning the steps in the writing process and more emphasis on how writing, as a process, allows for the further development of one's critical thinking and analytical skills. Finally, EN152 explores the power of literature to promote ethical awareness, cultivate empathy, and emphasize a shared sense of humanity.
