【Course Objectives】

Students in this course will improve their reading comprehension skills through conducting an intensive reading of American literary works and build their interpretations with a conscious understanding of the work's background, historical period, and literary context.

【Course Contents】

In this class, we will read Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885). Some might think that this work, which features a boy as a protagonist, is an adventure story intended only for children. However, it engages with the problem of slavery in antebellum America, the politically controversial issue that eventually drove the nation to the Civil War. This novel also addresses various topics such as the relationship between the community and the individual, Huck’s sense of loneliness, and the obsession with innocence, the issues that help us better understand nineteenth-century America at large. Furthermore, as the figure of the "boy" in American literature symbolizes the new, young nation of America, any understanding of this novel leads to a meditation about what “America” means.
Since this seminar will be offered in two consecutive classes, students are expected to read at the rate of about more than 25 pages per week to complete the reading of this lengthy work. Students are expected to develop the ability to express themselves through writing a response paper to be submitted each week.
