As most of you have seen, the prompt for the second essay is to the right. I'm willing to extend the topic deadline to Friday of this week, but not further (I want you to get to work on the essay early). I'll also be posting potential works for analysis here (mostly post-colonial--the feminism is pretty well covered by the woolf, bender, carter, etc.) so keep an eye out. Be sure you've read to at least the end of the second chapter in Waiting, though in fact you'll want to read more, as you'll need to be through most of the book by the end of the weekend.
When you've finished reading, write a response which brings an idea drawn from one of the theorists (at this point Achebe, Said and hooks) into relationship with a moment or scene from Waiting. Based on what you've read so far, how would that author 'read' this book?
