After much thought and consideration, I have decided that we will not read Beloved this semester. Our class time will be better utilized if we continue to read shorter pieces and discuss them in small groups as we have been doing so far this semester. We need to focus on revising our short papers and developing our longer research projects; the novel and the group presentations will take too much of our time and focus away from these important tasks.
Instead of reading Beloved, we will read a few short stories by Alice Walker and Jhumpa Lahiri. I will provide you with these stories; you will not have to purchase another course packet. We will also watch another film.
Please return Beloved to the bookstore if you have already purchased it. If you have any problems returning the book, please see me.
I will give you a revised syllabus on Tuesday that will show all of the updated readings.
