Bridging Text and Context

Research Question:
American Dream is one of the main themes in All My Sons. What is its historical, social and moral context? To what extent reaching one's goals can be justified by all means?

2. Use 3 different sources at least (Internet; encyclopedia; mass media; literature; movies) to search for relevant information on the topic (articles; pictures; videos; etc.).
3. Sort out and sift the information.
4. Summarize it. Keep a file.
5. Write a draft. Use the checklist.
6. Write the final paper.
