the natural research assignment must be from the text

In The Natural, Bernard Malamud uses symbolism to deepen our understanding of Roy’s character. Two of these symbols are the train journeys Roy takes and the references to myths such as the Knights of the Round Table, the wasteland and the Fisher King.

Choose one of the symbols used by Malamud and find ten references to it in the text. Make a list that provides the quote along with 2-3 sentences of analysis of the quote. Analysis means that you explain why the quote is interesting and important to our understanding of the book.

This information can be presented as a list, rather than in essay format. This research will be used as the basis for the research paper that is due at the end of the semester.

Please do not use outside sources as you gather this information. Everything you need to complete this assignment is in the text.
