ENG434: Non-European World Literature

Student Creative Writing Assignment

As one of the assignments for this course, students were asked to do a piece of creative writing using the characteristics (whether formal or not) of one of the texts that we discussed during the semester. The assignment required that they follow the conventions and characteristics of the text (China, Japan, Puerto Rico, and ancient Mesopotamia) but used their own experiences in Botswana for the content. Here are some samples of their work.

Dialogue of Pessimism  |  Haiku  |  Chinese Philosophical Poems  |  Puerto Rico, Julia de Burgos
