Thematic Analysis about the book “Make Your Home Among Strangers”

Thematic Analysis about the book “Make Your Home Among Strangers”
For your second essay you are going to analyze how well the author, Jennine Capó Crucet, conveys a specific theme in her novel. A thematic analysis essay focuses on a specific theme, or message, of the novel, and analyzes the effectiveness of its presentation in the novel by the author. A theme is defined as a message or moral of a story. As young readers identifying a theme was a piece of cake. They were presented at the end of a fable with a very clear, “And the moral of the story is…” to make sure we got the message. As critical thinkers and advanced readers, the author no longer declares the theme of their story at the end in a moment of triumph, but instead interweaves layer upon layer of subtle and often complex themes that require close scrutiny and many notes in the margins. We are left to our own devices, to muddle through the text and search for what we think is the purpose of the text.
Topic Choices:
There are many topics explored throughout the novel. You can choose from the list of topics below or identify your own. Your thesis statement will be built around your selected topic.

Home
Cultural Identity
Biculturalism/Bilingualism

Race/Class/Gender
Family
