My research question will most likely be, how do both author's ideas contrast or resemble? and/or how do my ideas compare to theirs? I picked it because the theme of death is the theme that most appealed to me when I looked through the list. The two articles that I want to use are "An Hour or Two Sacred to Sorrow" by Richard Steele and "Death" by Lu Hsun. I mainly chose Steele and Hsun's essays because I wanted to know how the ideas of two people from different centuries compare to one another. Steele live until 1729 and Hsun until 1936. I haven't fully read and analyzed them but from the skimming I did on both essays, they had some interesting points.
