MALA 61393 - The Literature of Survival: What Tales Teach Us about Living and Dying

Students will read literature and watch films about survival of both everyday crises and life-threatening situations. They will write three papers on topics related to survival of such ordinary crises as divorce or job loss, survival in the outdoors, and the prospects of long-term survival of the human species. Students will examine factors, including personality traits, which either impede or enhance a person's ability to survive a variety of circumstances that put his or her confidence, sanity, or soul in jeopardy.
