I actually have too much freedom! I do not have my assignment sheet here, I turned it in to my professor with my note book. BASICALLY, it has to be an argumetative research paper on a book, poem, short story or author (ex: not Steinbeck bio, maybe his style of writing, use of symbolism, characters, theme) I can compare more than one story. I told my teacher I was attracted to the religious symbolism in the story East of Eden and the fact that it started as a journey through his family history
She wrote me "You could do a paper about the narrator of the story, the identitiy and impact the narrator has in telling the story. You could include the part abot all his stories have a distinct style. You could also weave in the Biblical perspective of the narrator: Omniscient as if spectator yet a participant."
What she is saying to me is obvious, so how can I argue anything? It all seems pretty clear and I am having trouble coming up with a thesis to start my paper.
