Having read the entirety of Animal’s People and half of How Beautiful We Were, you should have at least an inkling of which book you’d like to discuss in your essay and which topic from within your chosen book you’d like to explore. Please use this question as an opportunity to do some thinking about your essay and describe in a few sentences what you think you might like to write about. In addition, please let me know what experience you have writing thesis-driven, literature-focused essays, and what questions or concerns you have about writing such an essay: structuring an argument, writing a compelling thesis statement, researching scholarly sources, etc.
Note: I do not see this as a commitment to a topic; instead, I want you to start thinking. Sometimes you need to generate some unworkable topics before you arrive at a good one, so you might as well get the process started now.
