Be prepared to discuss Act I of A Raisin in the Sun. (Available in you textbook.) This text is still under copyright, so I don't believe it is available for free online.
Also, please make sure you have made plans for your book buddy for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. You will want to be through Act I by Wednesday (just in case) or Thursday.
