  MARK RICHARDSON

<概要/Course Content Summary>

We will read "Roughing It" (1872), Mark Twain's gripping account of his trip to the western territories of the United States in 1861, to California, and beyond. The book ranges widely, with vivid (and often very funny) accounts of long-distance travel by stage-coach (before transcontinental railways existed in the United States), the Mormon settlement of Utah, the silver and gold mining craze that swept over Nevada and California, the newspaper business (and journalism), such as it was when Twain embarked on his writing career, and considerably more.  
 
Weekly homework assignment: Type up a brief report (100 words or so), outlining your thoughts (and questions) about the week’s reading assignment. Bring this typed report with you to class. All reports will be graded on a pass/fail basis. That is, you need simply do the reading and write the reports (which must clearly pertain to the week’s assignment) in order to get credit. I will keep them as a record of your week-to-week engagement with Twain (and with the course). These reports constitute (in addition to attendance and discussions) one element of class participation.
