Beloved by Toni Morrison

 Identify a recurring theme that intrigues you in Beloved. Compose a 4-5 page essay explaining how and why this idea is significant. Your essay should consist of close-readings of key examples from the text to support your position. Beloved along with one to two scholarly essays or books should serve as your only sources. Your secondary sources should be accessed through academic databases (i.e. JSTOR, Academic Search Complete, Lexis Nexis Academic) and should not be googled websites. Your thesis and thorough analysis of the novel and these sources should provide you with sufficient material to successfully complete this assignment. 

For all options, an original title, proper in-text and end-of-paper citation, and paper formatting are required. Refer to the course syllabus for specific formatting guidelines and grading criteria.
