Choose two works from one of the "genre" groups (fiction, poetry, drama). You will be required to write a "comparison and contrast" research paper composition. The tentative thesis statement emailed to me on the due date should reveal that you have at least scratched the surface of a topic to determine it's topography and where you would like to "land".|||It's a bit heavy on the geographical metaphors!
All he is saying is that he wants you to think about what you might be intending to look at in detail, and just give him an idea of what that is and where you might be going with it. By saying he would like to know where you would like to land, he is asking you to let him know what you are expecting your conclusions to be. So - it's just a rough sketch of the areas you will examine in looking at the two works, and what you hope to conclude. He doesn't expect it to be cast in stone, it's just tentative - it's bound to change as you start thinking more about it, but he just wants to know where you are starting from.
That way, he can steer you in the right direction if he thinks you are going totally wrong, but he can also see how your ideas are developing.
