Your essay must include at least 7 secondary academic, scholarly sources (FROM JSTOR, Library, mla) and must answer the research question “What role does fear play in shaping Bigger Thomas’s actions and decisions throughout the novel and How does Wright depict the psychological effects of fear on Bigger’s character development?”(PICK ONE OR USE BOTH)
The same “formula” applies as the rest of your papers, except many of them will be longer.
Introduction with a thesis statement (maybe multiple paragraphs, if you have your own research question, this might have it’s own paragraph)
Discuss the theory you are using (again, maybe multiple paragraphs)
Analysis of the Text
Conclusion
Your essay needs to be MLA formatted and includes a works cited page with all of your sources, which means that including your book, you should have at least 8 sources (Native Son + 7 scholarly/academic sources.)
Body Paragraphs
5-6 paragraphs (not baby paragraphs) 200+ words each
Picking several different individual instances where your specific theory/research topic appears. Quoting them(direct quotes from the book…quotes less than 3 lines) Analyzing those quotes. then use quotes from research articles to support what you’ve said. Connect that back to your research questions:
This paragraph should have quotes from the book AND quotes from your articles.
ALSO, avoid getting super old articles. The general guideline is like 20-25 years old. Unless it’s a super-important scholar. So like Freud (going based on your last two articles) would be okay even though his books are over 100 years old, but Billy Bob who was a student of Freud and published one article 100 years ago, would not.
THE BOOK IS ATTACHED. AND DOCUMENTS WHERE I FOUND QUOTES ARE ALSO ATTACHED PLEASE USE SOME BUT ALSO LOOK FOR BETTER QUOTES.
