LIT30S will enhance your language abilities of listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing and representing for aesthetic purposes. When you engage with a text for aesthetic purposes, you are expecting to take pleasure in being in the world of the text, and will take the time to appreciate various aspects of the craft and overall experience of the work in question. You may value experiences in that text that relate to your own, ones that challenge your way of thinking and feeling, and ones that have the power to take you into an imaginary world. You, and not the teacher, will be the driving force in developing your own literary journey.
