Laozi, a hermit sage who moved outside the theocratic order, was not an official subordinated to the Jade Emperor (13)

Monkey ruled with proverbial Taoist wuwei 4i,, -laissez-faire, non-action, or non-ado. His island's celebration of natural anarchy was bound to clash with Confucian order and upset the hierarchy of Name and Rank in the court of the Jade Emperor. And this trickster did turn the world of the Jade Emperor upside down,much to the delight of any Taoist reader of this text (43)

What concerns us is this: when read more closely, it will be noted that when Hongren characterized Huineng as a "barbarian" from the South, the Chinese word rendered in English as "barbarian" is actually the word for a species of monkey. That is because the civilized northern Chinese viewed the southerners as dogs, or, in this case, as monkeys(a near synonym). So in this exchange between Hongren and Huineng,the question was, to wit: Can a southern barbarian, or "monkey," have Buddha-nature? (The answer yes) (45)

trickster gods although they have similar characteristics as they are both tricksters who will use their power to get what they desire no matter who gets hurt in the process. The Monkey King shows that being a good person is possible when one is surrounded by the right people, as he was around a monk who guided him to the rightful path. Compared to the coyote who continued to trick people and profited off of other peoples misery.

If this is the thesis statement, then it still sounds like a thesis for an essay and not a research paper.  To write a  research paper, the scope of the paper will have to be expanded and the thesis statement needs to be developed. This can be done through  more research to answer different research questions. The sources section still only has 4 sources and needs to be expanded.

Your thesis statement only compares their character. But you can also look at their function in mythology, in other words, what is their role in the stories.

it would be readily claimed that the purpose of mythology is to provide an outlet for repressed feeling (429)

Whatever our ignorance of the language and the culture of the people where it originated, a myth is still felt as a myth by any reader through-out the world. Its substance does not lie in its style, its original music, or its syntax, but in the story which it tells. It is language, functioning on an especially high level. (430)

where meaning succeeds practically at "taking off" from the linguistic ground on which it keeps on rolling. 2.6. To sum up the discussion at this point, we have so far made the following claims: i. If there is a meaning to be found in mythology, this cannot reside in the isolated elements which enter into the composition of a myth, but only in the way those elements are combined. 2. Although myth belongs to the same category as language, being, as a matter of fact, only part of it, language in myth unveils specific properties. 3. Those properties are only to be found above the ordinary linguistic level; that is, they exhibit more complex features beside those which are to be found in any kind of linguistic expression (431)

The trickster of American mythology has remained so far a problematic figure. Why is it that throughout North America his part is assigned practically everywhere to either coyote or raven? (440)

7.2.0. Thus, the mediating function of the trickster explains that since its position is halfway between two polar terms he must retain something of that duality, namely an ambiguous and equivocal character. But the trickster figure is not the only conceivable form of mediation; some myths seem to devote themselves to the task of (442)

7.2.I. Not only can we account for the ambiguous character of the trickster, but we may also understand another property of mythical figures the world over, namely, that the same god may be endowed with contradictory attributes; for instance, he may be good and bad at the same time (442)

It is not possible to accept these legends as historical truth, though there is no reason why they could not be used as the basis of artistic creations. To avoid conflict by attempting to keep myth and history entirely separate may not be possible because the two interpenetrate (1)

Many students of myth have a similarly dismissive attitude towards history and its method (2)

I take “history" in its two familiar senses: "an account of what happened in the past,"and "what happened in the past." "Myth" is more difficult to define. Its basic meaning, that used by mythologists and anthropologists, is "sacred narratives of traditional societies generally involving superhuman beings, etc." The term is often extended (by Vischer, for example) to include other traditional stories,  such as legends, sagas, and so on (3)

Trickster gods have a specific role, these mythological creatures will live life and obtain whatever their heart desires by playing tricks and going against the hierarchy no matter the consequences no matter their punishment. The myth of The Monkey King and the Coyote, two creatures who although share the same characteristics, as they are both tricksters will end up leading completely different lives. How is it that The Monkey King will evolve from being a trickster to becoming a figure with a conscious that recognizes right from wrong and why is it that the coyote in fact did not change for the better but stayed the same. This describes how being surrounded by the right influences while having a purpose will make any being no matter how bad they may be, want to change the way they live their lives for the better.

"the trickster is “going along,” encounters a situation to which he responds with knavery, stupidity, gluttony, or guile (or, most often, some combination of these), and meets a violent or ludicrous end. Often the trickster serves as a transformer and culture hero who creates order out of chaos."
"North American trickster motifs generally combine moral lessons with humour."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Trickster tale, in oral traditions worldwide, a story featuring a protagonist (often an anthropomorphized animal) who has magical powers and who is characterized as a compendium of opposites. Simultaneously an omniscient creator and an innocent fool, a malicious destroyer and a childlike prankster, the trickster-hero serves as a sort of folkloric scapegoat onto which are projected the fears, failures, and unattained ideals of the source culture.

Trickster stories may be told for amusement as well as on serious or sacred occasions. Depending on the context, either a single tale or a series of interrelated stories might be told. The typical tale recounts a picaresque adventure: the trickster is "going along," encounters a situation to which he responds with knavery, stupidity, gluttony, or guile (or, most often, some combination of these), and meets a violent or ludicrous end. Often the trickster serves as a transformer and culture hero who creates order out of chaos. He may teach humans the skills of survival, such as how to make fire, procreate, or catch or raise food, usually through negative examples that end with his utter failure to accomplish these tasks. Frequently, he is accompanied by a companion who either serves as a stooge or ultimately tricks the trickster.

Before the 20th century the scholarly collection, examination, and comparison of tricksters and their tales concentrated upon those of North American Indian groups. Coyote is possibly the most widely known indigenous North American trickster. His tales are told by California, Southwest, Plateau, and Plains Indians. For Northwest Coast Indians, the trickster is Raven ( see Raven cycle), Mink, or Blue Jay, while Spider fills the role in many Southwest Indian tales. Wisakedjak, anglicized to Whiskey Jack, is the trickster-hero for many Northeast Indians, as is Nanabozho, the Hare, who in the Southeast is called Rabbit.

North American trickster motifs generally combine moral lessons with humour. Examples include the false bridegroom, whose boasting exposes him as an impostor; the eye juggler, who plays ball with his eyes and finally loses them; contests between creatures with inimitable skills, as when Beaver invites Porcupine to swim and Porcupine invites Beaver to climb; and cases where guile ill-serves its perpetrator, as when Coyote tricks Skunk and eats him but neglects to anticipate the digestive effects of this scheme. Many indigenous North American trickster figures have been portrayed, or their influences depicted, in contemporary Native American literature by such writers as Paula Gunn Allen, Louise Erdrich, and N. Scott Momaday.

As with other forms of culture, trickster tales are apt to develop and evolve when differing societies interact. One such case occurred during the colonial period in North America, as Hare (or Rabbit) was a common trickster in Africa as well as in the New World. Over time, as Native Americans and enslaved Africans met and exchanged elements of culture, their separate Hare traditions produced a new trickster, Brer Rabbit. The Brer Rabbit tales share many features of traditional African trickster stories: the trickster is an underdog, smaller in stature and strength than his opponents (thus gaining the audience's sympathy) but much cleverer and always well in control of the situation. However, African trickster tales usually centre upon a particular victim, such as Hyena, Lion, or Elephant, while Brer Rabbit tales, like their Native American counterparts, tend to revisit the same cast of characters repeatedly. In African tales the trickster's prey is usually earnest, hardworking, and slow-witted and soon yields to the smooth arguments and attractive promises of his opponent; in contrast, it is usually Brer Rabbit's opponents who instigate conflict, forcing him to rely upon his charm, speed, diminutive size, and guile-characteristics that save him from trouble in some cases only to ensnare him in difficulty in others.

Whereas Hare is a common trickster of northern, eastern, and southern Africa, the trickster of West Africa is Spider ( Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone) or Tortoise (the Igbo and Yoruba people of Nigeria). Many African cultures also have tales about human tricksters (e.g., the stories of Yo in Benin). In African traditions, particularly those involving the spider Anansi, the trickster often appears as a mythological figure and a rival of the sky god, tricking the god in one way or another. In this function Anansi shows some similarity with the Yoruba trickster god Eshu, who constantly opposes the other gods and thwarts their intentions.

The trickster-tale genre of folklore appears in some form in every culture, and many examples are available. The Chaco people of Colombia and Panama tell tales of Fox; like Coyote, he is always bested. In the Amazon the trickster's dual nature is embodied by the Twins: one brother whose tricks always end badly and another who builds order and harmony from the ensuing chaos. Numerous Oceanian tales recount the creative exploits of the trickster Maui, or Maui-tiki-tiki, as when he caught the first land like a fish and pulled it from the sea. The Australian Aboriginal trickster Bamapana is known for his vulgar language, lustful behaviour, and delight in discord. Japan's Kitsune is a trickster fox renowned for his mischievous metamorphic abilities. He is regarded in Shintō lore as the messenger who ensures that farmers pay their offerings to the rice god. Buddhist stories, however, cast the fox as an evil agent of possession. European tricksters include Aesop's wily Fox, the shape-shifting Norse god Loki, and the German prankster-peasant Till Eulenspiegel.

Nahuatl language, Spanish náhuatl, Nahuatl also spelled Nawatl, also called Aztec, American Indian language of the Uto-Aztecan family, spoken in central and western Mexico. Nahuatl, the most important of the Uto-Aztecan languages, was the language of the Aztec and Toltec civilizations of Mexico. A large body of literature in Nahuatl, produced by the Aztecs, survives from the 16th century, recorded in an orthography that was introduced by Spanish priests and based on that of Spanish.

The phonology of Classical Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, was notable for its use of a tl sound produced as a single consonant and for the use of the glottal stop. The glottal stop has been lost in some modern dialects-replaced by h-and retained in others. The tl sound, however, serves to distinguish the three major modern dialects: central and northern Aztec dialects retain the tl sound, as can be seen in their name, Nahuatl. Eastern Aztec dialects, around Veracruz, Mexico, have replaced the tl by t and are called Nahuat. Western dialects, spoken primarily in the Mexican states of Michoacán and México, replace the tl with l and are called Nahual.

Classical (i.e., 16th-century) Nahuatl used a set of 15 consonants and four long and short vowels. Its grammar was basically agglutinative, making much use of prefixes and suffixes, reduplication (doubling) of syllables, and compound words.

trickster gods have a specific role, these mythological gods will live their life and obtain whatever their heart desires by playing tricks. The monkey King for example will go against the hierarchy, which is heaven, in order for him to get respected by them since he sees them as equals, no matter the consequences and the punishment he will face.
The myths of The Monkey King and the Coyote, two gods who although share the same characteristics, as the are both tricksters will end up leading different lives. The monkey King will go on to be a noble, which means going against the norm for tricksters whereas the Coyote will remain the same.
how is it that the Monkey King will go against the norm of trickster gods, which among many aspects is to gain pleasure or selfish needs no matter who gets hurt in the process and the Coyote stays the same.
The development of Son Wukong's Character proves that redemption is possible if surrounded by the right influences.

You need to answer the research questions below:
What is the goal of a trickster god and what is their role in mythology?
You say they do whatever their heart desires and go against hierarchy; what hierarchy?
What is their goal then? and their role in the stories?

Main Idea:
The monkey king will go against the norms of tricksters and the Coyote will remain the same.

Evidence:

Throughout the book Journey to the West, the readers notice how numerous The Monkey King will act on his selfish needs to become stronger, such as stealing clothes or stealing weapons, than anyone else and will go against the heavenly authorities. When worst came to worst and no one was able to tame him from being distractive to their world the heavens asked the Buddha for help and he punished him to be under a mountain for 500 years until Tripitaka, the monk, met him and freed Wukong from under the mountain under the exception that he becomes his loyal subject and helps him deliver the holy documents back to the West. (Cheng'en 123)
Change is not easy of course there were highs and lows when it came down to taming Sun Wukong, but eventually he grew a moral compass and broke the moral code of trickster which would in other words be to use other people to ones advantage no matter the outcome and the consequences.
The reason why he was able to completely change was because he had the right person next to him guiding him to be a better person
The Coyote was of course of surrounded by the a person that can be considered a mentor figure which is why he continued living his life being a trickster.
Had he broken said trickster norms that revolved around benefiting off the pain of other he would have led a completely different life.

Main idea:
Trickster gods, like any other figure in a culture have their own role and customs. The Monkey King and the Coyote being tricksters will naturally have share some if not all of these characteristics.

Evidence:
Tricksters will use "knavery, stupidity, gluttony, or guile (or, most often, some combination of these), and meets a violent or ludicrous end. They will usually be innocent fools, malicious destroyers and will have a childlike prankster personality." ("Trickster Tale | Definition & Examples" 2017)

Analysis:
The Monkey King will have execute similar actions, as he will go against the heiarchy, heavenly authorities, in order to prove to everyone that he is worthy of being equal to them and he will not stop until he is viewed that way.
In order for him to become stronger he needs to have a weapon, although he is already powerful enough to change into 72 different animals and objects.
Before even trying to get stronger, he needed clothes, instead of buying them went ahead and stole clothes off of someones body to make them his own. (Cheng'en 2) Another aspect that he will act upon that falls right into the meaning behind being a trickster is the way Wukong will behave when comes time for him to be in need of weapons.
The morally right way to first acquire a weapon would be to either buy one or to ask any being to loan said weapon needed. Instead of being going through this process, Wukong decides to take what he needed when he needed it buy force. Being the trickster that he is he thought to himself "stealing them through sorcery would be better". (Cheng'en 23)
Regarding the Coyote, he will also perform similar patterns to the ones to the norms of being  trickster.
In the story of the Coyote and the Buffalo, after surprisingly doing a good deed of saving a buffalo from his bullies he gets rewarded being handed a wife who he ends up killing. (Thompson and Egesdal 139)
relating to the way tricksters will be the most violent and childish acts. One can agree that the Coyote highly cruel to kill his bride and as far as The Monkey King goes, the tricks he will go through to get his way by force is extremely childish and immature.

Link:

# data[].attributes.body
Main idea:
Based on research it can be deduced that the purpose of The Monkey King is to show that change is possible if one is surrounded by the right people.

The Monkey King being the rebellious king of trickster since he will go above and beyond to go against authority powers, in order for him to be seen as an equal to them. All that he ever wanted was to be seen as  equal to them and that was his motivation to always craving power and never giving up. Even when he was under the monks orders he remained strong and eventually simply learned his limits.
An act that the Coyote could never do compared to Sun Wukong is have a sense of redemption for all the bad tricks he has played to profit off of others peoples misfortunes. When he ate his groom to be he was of course punished by the chief of the village (Thompson and Egesdal 140) but he did not learn his lesson since no one though him how to be good in the first place.
