The Myth of the Student Hero and the “Dreaded Lit Review”

Complex Path

What you are about to read is my analysis of students’ comics on how they wrote their literature reviews. There are two different versions of the story, the "complex path" and the "simple path." This one, the "complex path," includes ideas about myth and ideology, the trickster and the shadow, and shame, guilt, and redemption. (And a lot more pictures from my students’ comics.) The "simple path" only has a bit of "theory" and features commentary from Susan Gardner Archambault, Head of Reference and Instruction at Loyola Marymount University's William H. Hannon Library.
