     While doing the research part of the final project, I was focused on finding articles that spoke about religion within the novel Parable of the Sower. My original question seemed too vague, so it made my process of finding articles a bit longer. I used keywords such as “religion” and “God” but the results were less than stellar for my essay. I consulted google scholar and Jstor, until I found some articles that went with my question. The more I read, the more I solidified my research question, making it more specific compared to before. I then started looking for articles that also related to the second topic of my question, in this case being black theology and feminism. I want to explore how they affect the religion of “Earth Seed” within the novel and what it tries to present to us in the novel.
