- Continue prep work on your assigned section of the Toker articler (in your common doc) to prepare for the presentation next class (if you haven’t presented yet). Feel free to contact each other (on chat or any other way) to develop your presentation. It should be informative, thorough, and visually engaging.
- Read the following reviews of the book (see below for document).

LOOKING AHEAD: Please open this document and read carefully the essay choices for the in-class essay (scheduled for May 5th, Wednesday, OR May 6th, Thursday). I highly encourage you to begin working on it now to give you enough time. Those of you who have not read large chunks of the novel (you know who you are) should go back to the novel now and read what you missed. It is impossible to produce a solid response on a novel that has not been read fully.
If you’re curious to learn more about the author of Lolita and “The Story of Lolita,” watch this video. And yes, the question “why did you write Lolita” is asked. How does Nabokov respond? One way to find out…
