Help me give my students a new text to explore in AP Literature. I want to add some writers that they haven't read in previous classes. Kate Chopin adds some diversity to their reading experience and understanding.

My Project
I am putting together a unit for AP Literature, building on the theme of how our dreams help us to create our own identity. I am building the unit using the anchor texts John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men and Kate Chopin's The Awakening. Both novellas are classics, but they offer a stark contrast in self-identity and how to pursue one's dreams. I have a class set of Steinbeck, but I don't currently have any of Chopin.
It is available online, but students are far more engaged in class and with a text when they are off their screens and interacting with each other.
I want to be able to hand each student a book in their hands, so they can get up, move around, and have a more physical interaction with the material.
More than half of students from low‑income households
