Reckonings: Thematic Research Paper Essay #2 Prompt

For your second essay, choose one of the stories we’ve read in class from Reckonings: Contemporary Short Fiction by Native American Women and write a 5-7 page essay about a particular theme that you find interesting. A theme is an idea that recurs in or pervades a work of literature. Some specific examples might include the use of Blues music, Navajo sacred clowns, or the use of prolepsis and analepsis in “Buried Alive in the Blues.” These examples are simply suggestions, but if you have questions about particular themes, feel free to speak with me in office hours.

Additionally, you will be responsible for using at least two outside sources to supplement your research. These sources may be books about the author, critical reviews of their work, and/or texts that relate to the theme that you have selected. All sources should be cited in MLA or Chicago style.

Good Luck!
