=Suggested DatabasesWelcome to the //Old Man and the Sea// Wiki!=

In a two to three page paper, discuss how Hemingway exposes qualities and perceptions of age and/or human consciousness, environment, class, gender, and/or race. You may look at any one or more of the themes you have been analyzing and now researching. To support your understanding of Hemingway’s theme(s), you must use **two primary sources** and **two secondary sources** to further your thesis. One primary source must, obviously, be //The Old Man and the Sea//. Another primary source can be a source from that time that bears meaning on the literary text (e.g., Castro, Daniel, or your own findings). You can use any two secondary sources that analyze //The Old Man and the Sea// and **support your thesis**, including the sources provided you.

To show good and even research and sound composition, develop your topics (paragraphs) with references to multiple sources. For example, show how Dunlavy Valenti and Hemingway collaborate to develop a theme. Show that the sources are in a dialogue with each other. Support your arguments with direct quotes and/or paraphrases--textual evidence--cited, of course.

You will earn two test grades for this paper: one, your understanding of //The Old Man and the Sea// and its theme(s); two, the paper itself, as per our rubric, **effective employment of MLA style for documentation**, and **ability to navigate this pathfinder**.
