Use 3-5 sources (from a library database and NOT including the novel) in a 6-10

Use 3-5 sources (from a library database and NOT including the novel) in a 6-10 page research paper which has a clear thesis and explicates the meaning of your novel.  This is NOT a report. You are a literary scholar, and you are making an argument about the meaning of the novel Alice through the Looking Glass or a part of that novel.
