Literary notes about Syllabus (AI summary)

In literature, the word "syllabus" has transcended its traditional academic confines to suggest broader intellectual and existential outlines. In James Joyce's Ulysses [1], the term surfaces as a metaphor for the vast array of intellectual pursuits available, inviting readers to contemplate the extensive curriculum of human thought and experience. Conversely, in F. Scott Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise [2], "syllabus" carries a more personal, pedagogical connotation, hinting at both the formal expectations placed upon students and the creative process of crafting one's own educational journey.
