Literary Topic or theme for my thesis: "slavery" or "prodigal man"

i have a couple in mind about the title of my thesis. I'm English Literature student in Indonesia. and I have to write a thesis. before that i really really confused with the title..

i want to take a novel for my references but I still don't know what the best novel should i use and read...i will take "slavery" or "prodigal man"...

can u give me some suggestion for the novel?and where i can get the novel easily?
thx

I am completely confused by your question. You say that the title of your essay confuses you. Did you not choose the title yourself? Why have you not shared it with us? If you were given a title by an instructor and do not understand it, you need to tell us the title in order for us to be able to help you.

Similarly, you seem to be wondering which novel or novels you could read in order to write an essay on that title, but we still don't know the title, so how can we help?

Unless the two topics you mention -- slavery and prodigal man -- are your possible titles. If you would like to read a novel concerning slavery, try Beloved by Toni Morrison, which is widely available.

my instructor didn't give us any sample, it's all up to us...
actually, i didn't like too much of literary, so that i didn't know about literary novel...
hmm..how about Disparagingly and Affection on Barbara Kingsolver's Prodigal Summer??can u give me some suggestion of references to write my thesis according to that novel??

Huh?? I'm so sorry, but this is absolutely nonsensical. I'm not disparaging your thesis. I'm saying that your thesis literally does not make sense as it is structured. The words together don't form a sensible thought. Can you say more clearly what it is that you want to say about this novel?

Prodigal Summer, what theme??

finally i choose a novel for my thesis, Prodigal Summer. but i still confuse what theme that i should take for this novel..??and also other references for my thesis based on this novel..??

thx

Well, why not start by reading the novel, and writing down what you think the themes are? What do you think the the author is trying to say in the book? The answers you come up with to that question will be your themes. Once you have thought about the themes a bit, you can begin to brainstorm a thesis statement.

Strong thesis statement for the expansion of slavery/cotton industry

I would also like some help on strong critical and analytical responses to the expansion of slavery due to the expansion of cotton industry.

I think the best way to express this question is like this:
I need to know about some responses I can make when discussing the topic of expansion of slavery due to the expansion of the cotton industry.

Well, in order to have a response, you need an opinion.
In order to have an opinion, you need to read some articles about the cotton industry and slavery.
