For my research essay I have chosen to write about “salvation” by Langston Hughes. My thesis is about the conflict the young boy faced throughout the story that led to an internal battle between his expectations, beliefs and his realization of harsh reality. For my secondary source I will be using Langston Hughes biography because in there it mentions the few times Hughes had to experience conflict because of his writings and beliefs which soon clashed with the harsh truth of reality. This resonates with my thesis so I will be putting that to use to help with my research summary. As for the bmcc databases so far I’ve explored JSTOR but haven’t found anything useful yet.

Daniel, this is great, but I specifically asked students to supply their thesis statement word-for-word. I want others to see examples of thesis statements.
Dear Daniel,
I completely agree with everything you have said and I also believe that your secondary source reflects on your thesis statement well. My research essay is also about “Salvation.” Throughout the story you are able to see hear his thought process and you are also able to get a feel of what he was experiencing. Our thesis statements seem to be a bit similar, though I do hope you are able to find your source soon.
