What is the topic? Think back to the three major genres covered this semester (fiction, poetry, and drama). Think of all the themes covered. Explain how each one of them fit into Randy Pauschs message in (The Last Lecture).
– For instance, fiction could cover the art of storytelling. He learned that gift from his father.
– The poetry aspect could be a love letter to his wife and kids, which he talked about extensively in the book.
– Lastly, in terms of drama, it was a tragedy. He had to deal with his own hubris.
In other words, tie it all together. What is the purpose of literature? What is the purpose of life?
