Discovering what myth I wanted to discuss and deconstruct was as easy as pulling a rabbit out of a hat (presuming you're a magician). But once the research began, I realized that I have no magic abilities, and am merely one person in a sea of information. To refresh you readers out there, I'm focusing on the appearance of homosexuality in Asian countries and how those who identify as such are received. (Example: In M. Butterfly Chin tells Song that homosexuality doesn't exist in China.) Finding the research wasn't that difficult, but after sifting through pages and pages of theories I discovered that my original intent was lost. Halfway through reading a chapter in one of these books I feel the familiar pangs of anxiety consuming my chest. What was my point again? How can I use this in my paper? Basically, I'm having difficulty in tying the concepts of the sources into my argument. I fear that my ideas are too broad, but I'm not sure how or what to change them to. I'm overwhelmed and need help focusing on a specific thesis. Any suggestions?
