Brothers and sisters are frequently best friends and most loyal champions. Yet, siblings can also be fierce rivals who struggle through jealousies, the concept of fairness, and the fear of parental favoritism. By considering how authors portray sibling relationships in literature, we can explore numerous intriguing dynamics including: the manner in which birth order and innate personality affect all the birds in the nest. Possible texts may include: LUCY GAYHART by Willa Cather, COMMONWEALTH by Ann Patchett, THE BURGESS BOYS by Elizabeth Strout, THE STRANGER IN MY GENES by Bill Griffeth, A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT by Norman Maclean, and selected poetry readings. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies the Writing Across the Curriculum Writing Intensive requirement.
