Growing up
The main focus of this theme is the process of growing up and the transformation into adolescence. Childhood experiences are often crucial for our further development, and whether we cherish them or we repress them, they will continue to follow us into the next chapters of our lives. However, as significant as they may be, every individual will change drastically during the transformation between childhood and adolescence. Children face insecurity, loss and conflict while growing older, and yet they gain independence and develop their personalities. This theme highlights different aspects of this transformation and raise questions about the inevitable contradictions between these stages of life.
We will be studying various texts, both fiction and non-fiction with the purpose of improving our knowledge of genre, analysis and interpretation.
