Using Goodbye, Columbus as your target text, write an essay explaining one central theme presented in the novella. Your essay needs to analyze the theme as written within the novella and then draw on three outside sources (at least one that you find on your own) in explaining or illustrating your analysis/argument. 

You might choose from any of the following: 

- How does this novella deal with both sexuality and sexism? 

- How does this novella explore themes of race and identity? 

- What does the novella reveal about issues of class and assimilation? 

- What is this novella trying to say about the American Dream?
