I have decided my final project will be an essay about The Deep, elaborating and researching the concept of History. I want to navigate intergenerational trauma and how we tell these narratives ethically and fully, discussing how the body holds memories, trauma, and history.

First, I need to complete the novel, or at least make significant progress in the story. While reading, I must take notes to help gather information for my paper. Then, I need to search for scholarly commentary on The Deep, particularly regarding this topic, to enhance my understanding of the story and develop a claim for my essay. Finally, I need to piece together my findings and create an outline for this final paper.

I am looking forward to my peers’ feedback on Tuesday to help develop a strong Thesis to create a strong paper.
