My findings of this article was through the Literature Criticism Online (LCO) from our library tab on the blackboard page. By choosing this article I will be to use some of the information to write my final paper for our English 102 class. This article talks about the book “The Things They Carried” as well as with the author, Tim O’Brien as well other stories that were in the same book. I am hoping to incorporate some of this information throughout my paper.

By choosing the tab Language and Literature (JSTOR)which was also under the library tab on black board I was able to find another article. This article is a little different than my others because it is an interview with Tim O’Brien. In the interview he talks about himself and his writing it talks about how he is one of the best Vietnam Veterans who has written about his personal experience with the war. Which, I did not know that the book “The Things They Carried” was his most recent book.

My last source was found again in Literature Criticism Online (LCO). This source was helpful to me because it talks a little bit more into detail about Tim O’Brien’s life. This will be helpful because it allows me to do some light reading about him. I am hoping that after knowing more about him that it will help me with my idea of my last paper. Also I feel that I might be able to use quotes from the article because it does into detail about his life and some of his accomplishments.
Here is a link to all of my tabs that I used for my sources: http://www.yc.edu/webtools/apps/library/subview.asp?sid=21
It appears that you found some very credible sources for your paper. The one about the author O'Brian will probably help alot with you paper..however, you are probably already done with it! You seem to have a good grasp about how to find credible sources also. Good luck and I hope you get a good grade!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a little lost on what to put on the comments for this week. Seems pretty straight forward to me. It seems like you got your sources from a variety of different resources, which is cool. I pretty much wrote my paper first and then stuck in the resources after, which made me have to rewrite some of the paper to accommodate. I could definitely see the benefit of doing the research first thought, as you seem to have done. :) Good luck!
ReplyDeleteSo far it seems that you have a great amount of sources to work with, a lot of variety i hope this enriches your final paper. Its very important to have good sources in my case it was very difficult to find them but i think ill be ok
ReplyDeleteHave a good one
Hello again Shelley, great selection of sources. I actually used some of the same sources as you. I personally found the interview with O’Brien extremely useful for helping me back up my arguments and analysis. Nonetheless your other source selections also seemed quite intelligent. I hope to read your paper and see how you put the sources to work. Anyhow, keep up the good work in our final weeks of class.
