For my essay I chose “Araby” by James Joyce, My thesis statement is “James Joyce uses light and dark imagery to symbolize the narrator’s journey from childish romanticization to disillusionment.” I think the specific kind of secondary source information that will support my thesis best would be a literary critique analyzing or critiquing Joyce’s use of dark and light imagery. So far I’ve browsed JSTOR and GALE. I haven’t had luck yet finding a critique similar to my idea that the narrator is childish for his romanticization, but I’m sure I’ll be able to bounce off of some of the opinions in whichever source I decide to work with.

One thought on “Jasmine Thompson Week 10 discussion”
Dear Jasmine,
For my essay, I also chose “Araby” by James Joyce and your thesis statement is pretty similar to what I have for the research paper. My thesis statement also focuses on the meaning of light and darkness used in the story to demonstrate the illusion and harshness of reality. For the secondary source, I will be using the literary critique because I think it will make the research paper interesting and well-thought.
