Lit Happens Ep 14: Ethics or Exploitation? - Mastering Module C with Nam Le’s Love and Honour

Tune in to Lit Happens, where we - two passionate HSC English educators - guide you through Advanced English Module C: The Craft of Writing, with a focus on Nam Le’s intricate short story, Love and Honour and Pity and Pride and Compassion and Sacrifice. In this episode, we explore how Le uses metafiction to examine the ethics of storytelling, cultural identity, and father-son dynamics, analyse advanced techniques like intertextuality and non-linear structure, and provide strategies for students to craft their own sophisticated pieces inspired by the text. Tailored for educators seeking to challenge their students and Advanced English students aiming for a Band 6, this episode will help you navigate the story’s ambiguity and create responses that reflect depth and creativity.
