Now that you have studied several theories and literary views addressing the subject of “continuity” and “discontinuity,” this assignment asks you to apply these theories to your own life.
First, provide a brief synopsis, in your own words, of at least one theory of continuity and at least one theory of discontinuity taken from the assigned readings explored in this course.
Then, consider your own life and write about how you see either continuity or discontinuity exemplified in one aspect of your life. Do you think that your experience supports the theory that people go through regular stages of development? Or, has your life been characterized by significant, unanticipated changes?
