Topics for Five Page Literary Analysis Research Paper
Directions:
Choose one or no more than two of the issues from the
list below to anchor your research on Their Eves Were
Watching God. All of these issues surfaced in the novel in
some way or another, but you’re only choosing one or two
to explore in more details, using information from at least
ten credible outside sources. This requires putting
together a Working Bibliography of sources (at least 10)
that you will peruse to find the information that you need
on your issue or issues. The issue(s) cannot be explored
in full if you are not fully familiar with the relevant issues in
the novel, hence the reason why you need to read the
entire novel before you start the research process. Please
use the spring break to get most or all of the reading out of
the way. I will give you a make up quiz on chapters one to
ten. You should have an idea of where you are headed,
that is, issue(s) you are going to choose, compiling
working bibliography (at least 15 sources), etc. done by
the due dates (see Pacing Calendar posted on
Blackboard). Below are the topics for the research paper:
Racial discrimination
Social class status in society

Marital status
