Create an argument for how the novel and the supplementary text you choose demonstrate resistance to boundaries. You may center your argument on a primary or secondary character, and you could conceptualize boundaries as physical social, ideological, relational, etc. Your secondary text might confirm Walker’s ideas, but it might contrast Walker’s presentation of boundaries. You will develop your own thesis and interpretation, folding in your research as a tool to enhance your reading. This means that you will need to go far beyond simple (and generally useless) plot summary and regurgitation of articles. Instead, you will zero in on a central, analytic interpretation and drive home your points about the text by demonstrating with the work itself in addition to the criticism. Do not allow the secondary sources to overwhelm the strength of your own ideas.
