POLL - Naturalism vs US Culture and Writing

i need help. in addition to the many things on my mind. i have to decide what module to take next year. it is a toss up between Naturalism and US Culture and Writing.

Naturalism - taught by the German dept (who are good), only for Film and Lit students (because there are media bits in addition to the novels and drama we look at), quite a few out-spoken coursemates taking the module (which means better class discussions?), heavy topic though (but i kind of like depressing books), just the whole idea of Naturalism can be a little bit of a question mark, but we are doing Weiss and Kafka which i kind of like because they are deeeeep.

US Culture and Writing - taught by the English dept (who have varying standards in teaching but usually lecturers are good... just a matter of whether the seminar tutors are crap), open to all English students (but i think for timetable sake they will put all the Film and Lit students together), loads of stuff about how history and politics shaped the writing, i can get notes from Jess (thrid year senior), people taking it are not so friendly though (or rather not so vocal and fun - which might mean really quiet seminars), doing all novels which might kill me after a while.

HOW HOW? i have until Friday to decide!
