For Monday and Tuesday, read the poem "Between the World and Me" (handed out in class, but also available here), and then read pp. 3-39 in Ta-Nehisi Coates's book Between the World and Me. Pay particular attention to Coates's word choice and identify any words that you think are especially helpful in advancing his point. In class, you will respond to this reading in writing at the start of class. (It won't be graded; you'll write it in your notebook.)
