Topic: Find at least one credible secondary source that relates to a literary work from or the theme of this module. Explain how the source helps define, or helps a reader understand, the complexities of family or love.
The theme of this module that you are going to use is “Bog Girl: A Romance” by Karen Rusell and with that story you need to find at least one credible secondary source that relates to that story and explain how the source helps define or helps a reader understand the complexities of family or love.
If you don’t know what is a secondary source.
secondary source:
Articles about your specific literary work(s) that help you dig deeper into their literary elements or authorial intent.
Articles about relationships that you then apply to your chosen literary work(s). You may find information written by a psychologist or an organization that discuss challenges/solutions in family or romantic relationships, for example. Think of ways you can connect what you read about these dynamics to the creative text you’re analyzing.
Articles about literary analysis or critical lenses that you then apply to your chosen literary work(s). If you find a source that discusses the power of symbolism, for instance, and you think symbolism is powerfully at play in the short story you’re writing about, think about how that can strengthen your argument about it.

Remember that your secondary source will not be a literary work, but an article that helps you analyze and make an argument about your chosen literary work.)
