Capstone: Moral of Story

3 credits

Capstone classes may NOT be taken Pass/Fail. Seniors only. You may take only ONE Capstone class before graduation.Hanging in Boston's Museum of Fine Arts is the magna opus of Paul Gauguin, "Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?". Gauguin left family, friends, and a career in banking to flee to Tahiti, in search of life's meaning. "Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?" is his ultimate representation of these philosophical questions. We will move through a different artistic medium - that of the short story - as we ask those same questions. We will examine complex plots and characters in the hopes of exploring our own stories.
