  • WRTG 35100: Writing: Personal/Political

    1.00 Credits
    Ithaca College

    This writing seminar looks at the interface between the personal and the political. We will read essays by published authors -- for example, George Orsell, Adrienne Rich, Maya Angelou, Dick Gregory -- that investigate their personal responses to our political structures. Students will then write personal narratives framed within their Washington experiences that make use of the techniques of creative non-fiction to product fact-, theory- and experience-based prose. Narrative elements such as setting, character, and theme will be offered as tools for writers. We will investigate how and why personal writing about an experience helps provide writers with clarity and focus, not only for the experience but also for the context that informs that experience. 1 credit.
