The literary work I am focusing on for my research essay is “The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World” by Gabriel García Márquez. My thesis statement is “Women are typically characterized as more empathetic and nurturing, and men typically as more stoic, such as in ‘The Handsomest Drowned Man.’” I think the type of secondary source that will best support my thesis is an article on gender stereotypes. So far, I have found an article called “Content Analysis and Gender Stereotypes in Children’s Books” on the JSTOR database which seems perfect for my essay.

Victoria, thank you for this clear post. Please rethink your secondary source, however. The source must be specifically about the story or the author. This story is not a children’s book.
