For my research essay I will be using “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” By Flannery O’Connor “Violence is a very horrible thing. That’s what you’re learning from this story, if you didn’t already know it.” I have done some research and have found some biographies to support my thesis. The databases I used was Literature Resource Center. It helped me with providing access to biographical information, bibliographies, and critical analysis of authors and their literary works.  

   For my research paper, I’ve decided to do“The magdalen path awakens the power of your feminine soul” – by Clair sierra and the quote I chose was  ‘Are there places in your own life where you feel particularly called — situations or issues that grab your attention? Are you able to speak up with care, concern, and compassion?

For my research essay I will be using “The Lesson” By Toni Cade Bambara “Sylvia emerges from her trip with a different view of her world and a deeper understanding of her reality than she had in the beginning, she wonders about the people who can afford the toys, she reflects on her living situation, and she takes time to process the lesson she has learned.” I have found some biographical articles that will support my thesis.
