S2 Ep. 01: The Comedian, by Scotti Christerson

Season 2 · Episode 1

Tuesday, September 10, 2024 • Duration 34:01

Welcome to The Fast and the Fictitious. In each episode, students in English 2410, a Dual Enrollment Fiction course, will deep dive a story, highlight key takeaways, and relate the themes of the story to real life.

In this episode, Karlee, Emma, and Oliver kick off season 2 by talking about the story “The Comedian,” written by Scotti Christerson, one of last year’s 2410 students. In addition to connecting the theme of the story to their lives, I think each had some eye opening moments when considering what Scotti did with her story and how they can do those same things in their own fiction writing. I’m very proud of these three. We hope you enjoy.
