The American Literature class.
We have attended the American Literature class. This class takes place in a room full of many posters, pictures and maps of countries from all over the world. It's consequently a very convivial room in which we are assembled around a huge table in order to study and talk about texts or books that our teacher gives us or that we have to download and print from the Kents Hill website. During our time spent abroad, we read and studied many texts and books of all types, but the main studied subject was transcendentalism. Here are some pictures of the classroom and of the students during this class and I'm going to mention some of the texts on which we worked:
- The Crucible by Arthur Miller
- Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne
- Rip Van Winkle by Washington Irving
- Bartleby the Scrivener by Herman Melville
- The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
- Self-Reliance et Nature by Ralph Waldo Emerson
- Civil Disobidience andWalden by Henry David Thoreau
- The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe
- Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman
- The House of Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
