1. Identify the author and the literary work you are focusing on for your research essay.
2. Please share the actual word-for-word thesis statement of your research essay in your post.
3. Explain what specific kind of secondary source information you feel will support your thesis.
4. Identify the BMCC databases you have explored to date and what the results have been.
My research essay will be focused on Toni Cade Bambara’s “The Lesson”, with my thesis sentence being the following:
“First impressions are always skin deep”.
In all honesty, I haven’t explored many of the BMCC databases. There is so many sources and information, it can be a tad overwhelming. I have dipped into JSTOR and found this source fairly easy to navigate and find specific information without providing many specific details. It provides me the opportunity to be exposed to works that I weren’t looking for or even thought of. I believe reading excerpts from or books that interpret this piece, or writing that is a criticism of literature would be supportive in my research. Reviewing others point of view(s) may bring a fresh take on my research, allowing me to go deeper in gathering supportive information of my thesis.
One thought on “Tracey Mainer – Week 10”
Tracey, that is not the thesis statement in your essay. It is not a thesis statement, and I don’t understand why you have posted this. You give very little specific information about your search for a secondary source.
