LIT 104

LIT 104 introduces students to poetry as a powerful and expressive form of literature that blends sound, structure, and meaning. The course explores how poets use language creatively to convey emotions, ideas, and experiences beyond ordinary expression.

Students will learn the fundamental elements of poetry, including rhythm, rhyme, imagery, symbolism, and figurative language. Through guided reading, the course demystifies poetry and helps students move from simply reading poems to interpreting and appreciating them with confidence.

With practical examples and relatable explanations, this course equips students with the skills to analyze poetic texts and uncover deeper meanings embedded in language.
