Assignment for Tuesday, Oct. 30

In Ta-Nehisi Coates's Between the World and Me, read pp. 3-25 (stop at the end of the first few lines on the top of p. 25). Annotate the reading, and come prepared to write about it during class. Pay attention to whatever stands out to you. Also, if you have time, read this poem by Richard Wright, which was handed out in class. We'll be reading it in class, so if you don't read it on your own, that's fine, but if you want to know the source of the book's title, feel free to read it.
