Week 10 Discussion Board-Adib Sharif

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 RESPONCES:

1. The literary work I will be focusing on is “Salvation “by Langston Hughes.
2. Exact Thesis: Through character analysis, the author paints a picture of the young boy to be innocent and trusting; his naiveness is expressed more perceptibly and clearly through his experiences.
3. A specific kind of secondary information I have found and can use is a biography on the author, Langston Hughes. Digging deeper into the life of this American Poet will help me support my thesis is numerous ways.
4. In regard to BMCC databases, I have so far explored the direct link of activity 6, week 3. I also have explored the BMCC literature resource center. However, I still have a little more exploring to do to see what the best source is to use for my research essay.
