Due 5/15: “PBA Prep” and No Exit

1. No Exit–In preparation for the closing discussion, please discuss:

2. PBA Prep–This weekend begin thinking about which two texts you would like to compare/contrast. That’s it, just give it some thought and be prepared to share the two you are leaning to!

And perhaps more importantly, how does Sartre communicate that message? Remember, Sartre literally articulates the play’s primary themes at the end; so, let’s try and discern those themes before the end. To that end:
2. Class Forum–As always, bring a printed copy of your response into class.
