Topic area (broad):
Representation of families in science fiction books reflecting on the contemporary American society
Topic (narrow):
Representation of families by classic American authors who through their narratives have shown that indeed family matters
Suggested research question (ending with a question mark):
The theme of loss is evident in all four novels hence raising the question to what extent can the protagonists in the novels go to save their loved ones
Possible hypotheses/thesis statements (three complete sentences that give three different answers to the research question):
The protagonists in the science fiction novel seem to be united by the fact that they all sacrificed they lives or rather put their lives at stake for the sake of family. It is through the authors that the characters have assumed the role of the hero.
The theme of mortality is constantly repeated in the representation of families in the science fiction novels where death is seen as the ultimate enemy. All the characters struggle to do the unbelievable in pursuit of immortality.
In American fictional stories, time appears to be a reoccurring element where the protagonists are seen to travel back and forth from the past to the future and vice versa. Travelling in time provides the opportunity people need to make a difference in life.
All the characters in the American Science fiction narratives are portrayed as outsiders who are unable to fit in the society.

This is why they developed a sense of wanting to belong as a way of getting rid of the loneliness that lingers in their lives.
