Students in EWL 112: World Literature in Context produced creative projects in response to the novel The Lost Child by Caryl Phillips. The New York Times review describes the novel as “a riff on Wuthering Heights”, and themes include immigration and colonialism, family and patriarchy. The projects challenged students to go beyond a traditional written response. Check out the amazing and thought provoking responses below!
The Storm that Causes Rain, Brittany Parsons
Wuthering Child, Hannah Decker
The Thorns that Hurt the Most, Daniella Disanti
Thorns over Leaves, Zoe Deralas
Abandonment, Anne-Tetchly Charles
Tracking Gender, Sierra Rasheed
Family Dynamics, Alyssa Cosme
Disaster Land, Nick Finno
Self-Induced Violence, Zola Vebelle

In addition to the visual responses there was also an audio response entitled Deliverence, by Jacob Rizzi. Listen below!
