Journey of the Literary Hero is Topic of Cultural Arts Lecture Set for Jan. 21 at Randolph Community College

Have you ever thought that you might have something in common with Luke Skywalker, Oedipus, Huckleberry Finn, or Harry Potter? Randolph Community College starts off the spring semester of its Cultural Arts Series with an interactive, thought-provoking lecture that will change the way you look at fiction.

"The Quest - The Journey of the Literary Hero and The Ordinary Man" will be presented by English instructor Jennifer Macy at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 21, in the R. Alton Cox Learning Resources Center auditorium. In the lecture, Macy will show how the heroic journeys in literature parallel the ordinary journeys we all take in life.

Macy has been a full-time English instructor at RCC since 2006, and before that taught English part time at RCC and Guilford Technical Community College. She earned a B.A. in English from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and an M.A. in English from the University of North Florida.

Admission is free, but seating is limited. Go to RCC's Web site to download a free ticket at www.randolph.edu/newevents/culturalarts.php. For more information on the Cultural Arts series at Randolph Community College, call 336-633-0244.
