Everyone begins as part of a family. But what counts as "family"--only those connected to us through biology or also those connected to us by choice? What kinds of challenges do adopted children face? What kinds of challenges do biological children face when they look at their difficult, aging parents and realize, yes, this could be my future? There are certainly many ways for families to be dysfunctional; what kinds of steps and work are necessary for family to be functional? This course will examine literature devoted to the topic of family in all of its forms. Texts include Henrik Ibsen's A DOLL HOUSE, Heather Raffo's NOURA, Jane Jong Trenka's THE LANGUAGE OF BLOOD, Alison Bechdel's FUN HOME, Natasha Trethewey's MONUMENT, August Wilson's FENCES, and Dominique Morisseau's PIPELINE. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies a WAC Writing Intensive requirement and an Integration in the Humanities requirement. Please note that ENGL 202 is non-repeatable; students wishing to take a second 200-level Texts in Conversation course will need to register for ENGL 201, 203, or 204. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.
