For Tuesday, read and annotate to p. 14 in Conrad's Heart of Darkness (stop when you get to the paragraph that ends with "hidden out of sight"). While reading, pay attention to each mention of the following words (and variations on them): heart, dark, civilized, primitive, black, white, and native.
Keep in mind that the first three-to-four pages of the research paper and the outline of the research paper are due on Thursday, March 3. You will have time to work on them in class on Tuesday, and you will not have to read Heart of Darkness for Thursday.
