Chuck III's College Resources Black Boy
http://www.chuckiii.com/Reports/English/Black_Boy1.shtml
An example essay written about Black Boy. Although this essay is very simplistic and dives only into a surface level analysis, it may give students a good idea of what the important points in the novel are as well as some good quotes to use in an essay. Beware of plagiarism! The site also has information on citations.
A site maintained by the Chicago Public Library:
