Write a research paper in which you analyze ONE of the following themes or issue
Write a research paper in which you analyze ONE of the following themes or issues.
The focus of this paper will be on one of the issues below (or a variation that you create). As part of discussing
this issue, use at least one story, poem, TV show, or film as an example within your discussion of this theme/
issue. You may choose to compare and/or contrast two works in regards to their treatment of the same or related
themes. (Do not use more than 3 primary texts). Ultimately, your goal is to create a set of insights about this theme/
issue. You are using the literary (or other) texts to help illustrate/build these insights, but it doesn’t need to be the
primary focus of the paper. Rather, your primary focus is on insights about the issue itself.
Clearly, this assignment is intended to encourage each student to find an original path of research in which one can
suit her/his interests and through which one can demonstrate unique analysis & insights. As part of this, you will use
at least one literary or film/tv text as an example. You also must use at least 3 secondary sources that meet the
standards of “legitimate academic texts.” This will require you to do library research (and/or use the academic
databases) as this requirement will negate much of what you might find on the general internet. It is expected that you
will incorporate quotes and ideas from these sources fluidly within the context of your own analysis.
