- For my research essay, I will be focusing on Toni Cade Bambara, and “The Lesson”.
- My thesis word for word is: The narrator’s change in voice from the beginning of the story and towards the end demonstrates her determination to not be defined by her childhood.
- For the secondary source information, I decided to use a literary critique written by Rena Korb in reference to “The Lesson”. The reason why I chose this is because she gives an in-depth analysis of the characters in the story as well as background information on the time period and how it connects to the development of the characters. This can support my thesis because I am focusing on the development of Sylvia based on her environment.
- So far, I’ve looked into the BMCC Literature Resource Center, and I used the direct link posted under Week 4 when we covered “The Lesson” that had the PDF of the literary critique.

Kiara, I feel as if your thesis is engaging. I think you’ll be looking at how the narrator’s voice changes as the story progresses and what it says about how her character is changing. I see that you will pay close attention to how her childhood shaped who she is now. I’m also curious to see how you will use examples from the sources to support your ideas.
Kiara, this is a very clear response with substance and specificity.
