Narrow Your Topic or Research Question
It's very common to select a topic or formulate a question that starts out too broad.
Question 1: What is the significance of If Beale Street Could Talk? (broad)
When the scope of your topic is too big, it's hard to write a paper with any depth.
Most scholarly research examines fairly narrow topics and looks at relationships between concepts. For example, If Beale Street Could Talk is a pretty broad topic, but looking at how incarceration is depicted in this book makes this topic more manageable.
