Welcome to Great Books of Life!
In my Great Books Literature class, we read a wide variety of novels, short stories, poems, and plays from various authors of different time periods and of different walks of life. The overall theme of the course is diversity, identity, and the power of a story. When we learn new things about different times, places, and peoples, we also learn more about ourselves in the process. Diversity is the spice of life--if everyone were exactly the same, the world would be a boring blob of black and white. With diversity, we can see all the colors of the rainbow and we can taste all of the flavors that life has to offer. Literature educates and inspires us--with knowledge comes power and freedom; and with inspiration comes beauty and stories. After all, the ability to tell a good, colorful story is the ability to create life itself.
