Today, you are going to choose a piece of art from the Brooklyn Museum to analyze.

Day 3: Wednesday

tollaflg — 2024-12-11 01:12:41 UTC

Today, you are going to select a piece of literature to read for the next 5 days. It is my goal for you to have your pieces finished by the Monday after this weekend (keep in mind that some works are longer that others, if you do not think you will be able to have a ~300 page book done by Monday, I suggest you pick one of the shorter ones). You will be completing your final projects over what you read. Your options are listed below:
