Enjoying your American Literature and Creative Writing course, I see. *chuckles*

Why American Literature? What did British authors ever do to you?


I applied for English literature with Creative Writing, but at the UEA it's uber-competetive and I didn't get it. But they said they really liked my application and offered me the American Lit version instead. As I love the uni and this course gives me the chance to go to America for a year I took them up on the offer.

I do love the course :giggle: I just hate Huckleberry Finn :mad:
Wait for that flamethrower I promised.

Ahh, I see. That is good. Funny that they have a specific American Literature course, though.
What about Tom Sawyer?

Well, Goku was a kid back then.

Nah he's talking about the Jump DBZ special that has just been made available. Its set after the Majin Buu saga of DBZ.........krillin had hair by that stage :giggle: I suppose because I watched most of the series subbed I'm used to the voices - kind of prefer the dub of DBZ though, mainly because its easier to take the piss out of :p:

GT was atrocious. And for the record, Ryūsei Nakao is marvelous as Frieza, I couldn't possibly see him voiced by anyone else.

Well, to be fair, Staffordshire Uni, quite close to me, offers some very specific courses in Multiplayer Game Development, Chinese Management, Coaching Science, Community Arts in Global Perspective, English Communication for International Business, and many more courses which will look very good on a CV. :rolleyes:

Yours sounds good, but I'd think it a little limited by just being American Literature. Do you look at anything other than American works? I mean, I'd think that just adding Creative Writing & Literature with American Culture/Studies would allow a broader perspective.

Don't mind me, I'm just being cynical.

Dragon Ball is the 'better' series in the franchise, I agree. Its sequel, however, was the most influential.

.... American Literature is a part of American Studies. Most of the work we do includes American history and politics too, we're just more literature specific. One of my modules next year is a history module called 'Witchcraft, Magic and Belief in Early Modern Europe'. Next year we can choose more modules including ones in English Literature if we wanted.

To be frank I'm kind of insulted that you think that American literature, both as it is and as a course, is somehow inferior to English literature :hmmm:

It's like Fleming for Bond, Dragon Ball isn't the same without Toriyama.
