1. The Bell Jar–Read and annotate Chapter 17! Remember, the essay is looming so you should annotate with the essay in mind.  Perhaps the feminist lens will help to guide/shape your argument. Perhaps double consciousness will. Perhaps a combination of the two. Perhaps something unrelated to the above.
