Spanish Literature II

Spanish 311 is described as follows:

An introduction to the literature of Spanish America, from the early twentieth century to the present day. Among the issues addressed are the literature of social protest and reform, artistic experimentation in contemporary poetry and narrative fiction, and the rise of the novel in the second half of the twentieth century. Class/laboratory.

This is where:

The fun began and I was able to use the reading, writing and vocal skills learn in my previous courses in this class. Honestly, I was more terrified of partaking in this experience than the ones before because this class would be the first time lecture would not be about the do’s and dont’s of the Spanish language. This time around lecture would be about theoretical themes I would normally encounter in my English speaking classes. In short, this would be a real class in Spanish! I was comforted by the loving attention of my Spanish adviser, Professor Michelle Geoffrion-Vinci. For the first time in my experience I was not only taught about themes such as race, gender, religion and oppression; I was also taught about what passion really was. I was simply awed by the amount of fury Profe Boom-Boom as I called her had for ensuring her students understood the material. This is where I truly feel in love with Spanish language. This class is where I learned how to place my personality in how I spoke Spanish .  All the fun did not go without work, here are two examples of compositions in this class: Trabajo escrito #1 (versión 1) and Trabajo escrito #1 (versión 2). This class is also where reading in Spanish became extensive and consequentially easier to do.
