I chose to do my research essay on the short story “Salvation” by Langston Hughes. My thesis is “During the course of the story, the character undergoes a great change and is a very different person by the end.” For my secondary source, I am choosing to do a biography on him. This will explain will more about his childhood life, since in this story he was twelve turning thirteen. By researching, I am hoping to find out why he wasn’t able to see Jesus in the church, and I think that his early childhood may have had an impact on that. I am choosing to go more into his personal life and find deeper meanings in his childhood because it will show how one course of the event led to another. The BMCC database that I explored is the “Gale Literature Resource Center.” I found this database interesting because it explains how he saw his “home” in another church.
