Proposal Toby Levine
I would like to research and read Roald Dahl for my American author project. I believe he added to children’s stories around the world. He is primarily considered a British author although he lived in the United States for thirty years. I believe he would be interesting because his spectrum of writing. He has written murder mysteries, adult stories and children books. I am interested in his dark twisted side that is rarely seen. He also branched out in screenplays but his only known movie is one of the James bond series. He is most famous for Charlie and the chocolate factory which has been made into a movie twice. Much of the childhood classics of our day are in the style of Dahl or Seuss.

Hi Toby:
Close analysis of Dahl's diction and word construction is a great start place to start developing possible thesis statements. You are off to a good start.
