Write a psychological or sociological profile of one of the characters or groups in one of the stories in your textbooks. You′ll have to research psychological or sociological theories and practices, maybe some biographical information on the author, and some historical or social background of the times the stories were written, then connect them to your characters. For instance, you won′t be able to simply search ″O′Brien and childhood trauma″ and expect to create a thoughtful, well-developed essay.
