ENGL 4270 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Frontier Thesis, Manifest Destiny, Meritocracy
Document Summary
Key words: use two to make research question (think of using others as possible subtopics) If you want to use any keywords that aren"t on this list run by. These would have to be defined specifically for the argument. Sometimes, using keywords that don"t necessarily go together get the best responses counterintuitive couplings are okay! Relationships can be formed but they must be explained in the paper. If you use a big word, combine it with a smaller word (ex. Gender with masculinity because these are too similar masculinity can be a subtopic) You need to key words in your thesis where the relationship isn"t obvious but can be easily and clearly explained and supported with literary evidence. You could use two key words and then add a third key word to the thesis to narrow down the scope of the paper even more. Explain the relationship of the two keywords and the argument of the thesis statement with subtopics.
