2. Offering you two contemporary journalists' definition of "woke" (and my own experiences with this concept over the weekend...and your experiences as well)
3. Rereading the Prologue and Epilogue

- How has the narrator changed?
- How can you apply the term "woke" to our narrator?
- How is he talking to you, personally and collectively, in his final line?
4. Returning to your initial Battle Royal variation chart, considering how these variations play out in the final chapters, and analyzing the larger meanings to be drawn from each one
- Ellison repeats/revisits/returns to _______ to suggest / criticize / challenge / assert that...
5. Wondering about why the narrator has exactly 1369 lightbulbs in the Prologue (but doesn't mention them in the Epilogue?)? Watch this!
HW:
