What I Plan to do for This Research Paper

My initial "Analytical Comparison between Two Poems" essay is about love and relationships, I used the poems "Valentine" and "Hate Poem".

I am going to revise my second paper into a research paper by expanding on the hate in relationships, and the negative aspects perhaps. I feel that it will be difficult to research this topic and include into my paper smoothly, but my goal is to prove that relationships aren't just the fluff that you normally see them as. In order to do this I have started by jotting down some key points that I would like to include into my paper, and looking for that when doing my actual researching. Next while researching I usually have a copy of my paper around and am able to read through and see where I may be able to include a particular thing.

So far, I have only found two secondary sources. I have found that researching this topic is slightly more difficult than the other topics. If my search queries aren't very specific, and if my word choice is off. The first day of researching in class I found pretty much nothing, I have decided to both expand and refine what I am looking for. Doing so will help me find more relevant sources.

Researching is different from the other two essays, because I am not just including my thoughts. I am also using the thoughts of others and providing analysis. Using secondary sources will help me solidify my claims. The “Analytical Comparison of Two Poems” essay was purely what I thought about the topic of the poem. While the earlier essay analyzed two poems this essay is analyzing important aspects of the poems, and hopefully expanding upon them.
