For Next Week and Tuesday 5/8

Hey, y'all.

Reminder that we're not meeting Tuesday, May 1.

TH, May 3, we're back in the lab.

For Tuesday, May 8:

Please finish reading <i>The Kite Runner</i>.  Be prepared to discuss, and remember to consider the symbolism of pomegranates and the monster in the lake (in Hassan's dream).

Also read Part I of  <i>A Thousand Splendid Suns</i>.  Consider some of the things that are different between these two novels.

Have a great weekend!  :)
