Scarlet letter by nathaniel hawthrone EXTENDED ESSAY HELP

im doing my extended essay on the scarlet letter by nathaniel hawthorne.
i have a lot of ideas for my research question but i need help wording the question itself
can someone please help me asap??
I did an Extended Essay in English A1 as well. I would focus more on the literary aspects of Hawthorne (eg. his style, a certain motif or something).
The Scarlet Letter is a very common novel and part of the whole Extended Essay process is to be different. Find something that is interesting to discuss in 4000 words that will not dull the examiner with how common it is but rather excite him! They are paid by the paper, you know, and will have most likely read both books...

Therefore, I suggest that you discard those topics and look for something more unique. The only way you can find this topic is by making TONS of notes in the book and searching within for motifs, parts of style that seem interesting and understated in their significance.

By the way Criterion K (Holistic Judgment) requires intellectual initiative, depth of analysis, etc. so if you choose a unique topic and write a great essay, you will get the majority of the points in that criterion.

Now that sounds better. :biggrin: A little vague, but you're on the right track. Do you have an advisor?

I do!! what do mean it's too vague, because I was going to mention the scenarios she encountered with the puritans in the thesis itself. do you think i should say those things in the research question or the thesis?
