For Wednesday: Introducing The Tales from the 1,001 Nights

On Wednesday, we'll be introducing the book and the culture of Tales from the 1,001 Nights, which may help you read/appreciate the individual stories.  There is nothing due in class, though I will assign the first readings in class.  

Remember that Paper #1 was due yesterday by 5pm.  You have until Wednesday to turn it in for a grade, though you lose -10 points a day.  If you missed the exam, however, you cannot make that up without a doctor's note.  I hope to have both exams and papers back to you on Friday.  

See you then!
