American Stories (Ages 12+)

$600.00

Are you looking for an online class that meets the needs of your out-of-the-box learner? One with homework only three times in the entire year?

Dive into the bold, strange, and soul-searching heart of American literature in this dynamic class from The Bookish Society. We’ll explore script-style adaptations of two American classics—Moby Dick and Huckleberry Finn—bringing their epic journeys and complex themes to life through dramatic reading and lively discussion.

From the dark poetry of Edgar Allan Poe to the chilling tales of Shirley Jackson, the visionary futures of Ray Bradbury, the sharp grace of Flannery O’Connor, and the profound imagination of Ursula K. Le Guin, this course spans genres and voices to ask big questions about freedom, morality, identity, and what it means to be human.

This class builds deep analysis, critical thinking, and spirited discussion—all through stories that still echo today.
