Description
LIT 250 – THE SHORT STORY IN MODERN LITERATURE (3 UNITS) This course will look closely at powerful short stories from the past and at those being written today, always asking the question: How did this author accomplish so much in so few pages? Each student will choose three short stories to research thoroughly and discuss in essays and presentations.

A Look at Young Authors of Today; 2. Techniques of Classical Short Stories; 3. The Immigrant Story. Prerequisites: ENG 101 “C-” or better
