OK, as promised, those of you who have lived up to your side of the bargain, finishing Fredrick Douglass last night, YOU CAN TAKE A BREAK from the Slave Narratives for about a week. Pick up "Another Pan" or "Another Faust" by Daniel and Dina Naveri or any other Independent Reading Book (or play) for the next week or so, before returning to Harriet Jacob's "Incidents of a Slave Girl", which incidentally, many of your Creative Historical Fiction Journals are similar to her life, believe it or NOT!
You must STILL submit two Windows next week (1 from the last 30 pages of Douglass and one from the first 40-60 pages of your IRB). However, it is NOT necessary to Post-Its nor annotate your IRB, unless you choose to.
Some have chosen to read Olaudah Equiano's autobiography, from the Slave Narratives as their IRB, and that's acceptable, as well. It's YOUR CHOICE.
Obviously for those of you who have not finished Mary Prince and Douglass' texts, these are your FIRST PRIORITIES, so this is not license to stop reading that for an IRB.
Whatever you read, remember to update these novels on Goodreads. The more concise and informative these write-ups the more choices you'll have when it comes to thinking of texts for Jan. 11, 2011 Critical Lens Essay.
