Hello everyone!<\/p>\n

My name is Eliza Jackson and I am a second-year Arts student majoring in Psychology and minoring in Sociology. Truthfully I took this course to fulfill my final literature requirement, however, I am really looking forward to learning in this course! I am quite excited to take a deep dive into the romance world and to reflect on the materials provided in this course. I love to read in my free time, so I am happy that this course requires quite a bit of it! I am also happy with the grading option as I like the freedom we are given to assess our own abilities. My personal reading has for the most part consisted of young adult and adult fiction in English, surrounding themes around contemporary society. Therefore I am happy to be able to widen my reading scope by taking this course.<\/p>\n

I come from a french background, so I expect to quite enjoy the french literature as I can somewhat resonate with the stories. I have also travelled to Italy a few times, and have absolutely fallen in love with the Italian language and culture, so I expect to enjoy these as well! I actually hope to live in Southern Italy one day! In terms of themes, I found myself being mainly interested in exploring stories that include memory, societal factors such as race, class, and gender, as well as family. I was also very intrigued by the book written by Clarice Lispector (The Passion According to G. H<\/em>.) as it was indicated that it is an “unforgettable” book.<\/p>\n

Looking forward to meeting you all (hopefully in person soon) and discussing the subsequent themes from our readings!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
