2. Students will learn how texts operate, how they shape our thought and manipulate our emotions
3. Students will learn about cultures and societies, their varying concepts of the “good life,” of love and hate, justice and revenge, good and evil, and other significant issues of human experience
4. Students should learn how context shapes meaning
5. Students should learn about the processes by which they make meaning (by thinking about literary texts or about life experiences)
