Writing Process
For this final research paper, I was instructed to explore some dimension of a theme/issue that emerges in the stories of American writer Flannery O'Connor. Based on my reading of O'Connor's short story The Displaced Person, I chose the theme of immigrant labor in the United States in the broader context of the U.S. labor shortage. Through hours of research in Roesch Library and the guidance of librarian Jason Wardell, I built an annotated bibliography that became the framework for my paper. My paper advocates for the reform of pathways towards legal status for immigrant laborers, which can ultimately foster a more stable labor force in the United States.
