The author and the literary work I am focusing on for my research essay will be “Salvation” by Langston Hughes. And my actual word-for-word thesis statement of my research essay is “In “Salvation” by Langston Hughes, the community makes Hughes feel that Jesus must come to save him for him to receive salvation. However, this does not happen, and as a result, Hughes comes to the disappointing understanding that there is a difference between what he feels and what other people expect him to feel.” I think I will be using literary critique as a secondary source of information. I feel like by adding the right idea of salvation will help support my thesis. The BMCC databases I have explored to date are “HOW ARE PEOPLE SAVED? THE MAJOR VIEWS OF SALVATION WITH A FOCUS ON WESLEYAN PERSPECTIVES AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS” by Christopher T. Bounds. I might have to change a lot of these information for my final paper.

Hi Omar,
Your thesis statement for Langston Hughes’ “Salvation” effectively summarizes your major point. It is a good idea to use literary criticism as a secondary source to provide a deeper examination of the text. The fact that you are searching databases for pertinent sources is excellent. But, as your research progresses, you might find that you need to modify your thesis or your argument in light of fresh data. In general, you are on the correct route, and I hope your study and writing go well.
Omar, you have several sentences here. Which one is your actual thesis statement? Also, your source is not relevant to the story. You can’t discuss the broad theological issue of salvation; you need to focus on a literary element in the story “Salvation.”
