Write a brief paragrap explaining how the sources aids in your understanding of the story or poet.

PART 1Professors instructions1. Choose a story we have read so far that you like and are intrigued by. 2. Use the library databases to find an article on that story or on the author who wrote it. It can be literary criticism (someone’s article about their interpretation of the poem) or biographical (details about the author’s life and background). Don’t use an article about a different story, though. 3. Read the article and highlight passages that you think are interesting, or that make good points. It’s okay if you don’t understand everything in the entire article – literary criticism can be challenging to read! Focus on the points that you do understand. If you feel like the entire article is confusing, choose a different one, though. No one wants you to feel lost and confused. 4. Write a brief paragraph (five or six sentences is great) explaining how the sources aids in your understanding of the story or poet. Incorporate at least one quote from the story and one quote from the article. Remember that quotes should be integrated into your own sentences. There’s an example below, but if you’d like more guidance on integrating quotations, click here for a link to the University of New Orleans’s article on quotation integration in research papers. If you’re not sure how to format your quote, click this link for the Purdue OWL guide. 5. Include internal citations for your quotations. Stories should be cited with author’s last name and a page number (page of the story the quote comes from). Articles should be cited with author’s last name and a page number. There’s an example below, but if you need more help with internal citations, click this link for Purdue OWL’s guide to that. 6. Include a Works Cited list for your paragraph. It should include the story and the article. Sample:In Adrienne Rich’s poem “Aunt Jennifer’s Tigers,” the speaker describes her aunt Jennifer as “terrified” (9) and “mastered by” (10) conflicts in her life. The speaker’s description gives readers as much information about her, the niece, as it does about the aunt. As one scholar argues, the speaker is making “judgments” about Aunt Jennifer (Rizza 65). Jennifer is, after all, able to “flutter” (Rich 5) her hands to do needlework, though the speaker views her hands as being under the “massive weight” of a wedding band (Rich 7). Michael Rizza sees this description as “contradictory,” and attributes the symbolic weight of the ring to “the niece’s judgment more than actual description” (65). It is not clear that Aunt Jennifer feels as weighed down as her niece perceives her to be.
