EXAMPLE: “I’m interested in PTSD. I already read The Things They Carried, which discusses some PTSD, and I want to compare the soldiers in the novel to Marjane in Persepolis. In my essay, I will use examples to show that Marjane has signs of PTSD by giving examples of the disorder in The Things They Carried and examples of how Marjane acts similarly. I will additionally use research from the databases to discuss the symptoms of PTSD and its appearances in literature.”
