Remember the literature paper is due for this week's class.
For research, first check out Lindenwood’s Literature databases. You will need to sign in for access to the databases. They are listed under the heading
Humanities.
Next you can go to the
companion site for our Literature book. It has study guides for each piece of literature. The names of the authors are alphabetized in groups, so you have to click on a group of names to find study questions on the stories. So to find questions for Kate Chopin, you have to click on Alexie-Erdrich because her name is located alphabetically between theirs, much like an encyclopedia. Most features don’t require registration, but for the quizzes and some other material, you will need to register.
One section of the site explains the
elements of short fiction and provides examples. This would be good to look at before our final exam. Another part of the website explains different
approaches to looking at literature – feminist, reader response, Marxist, and more.
Context explores how the life and times of the author influence their work. Examples are provided on the site for Young Goodman Brown, Girl, and The Story of an Hour.
Our book's website also has
LitLinks, a list of web links related to specfic authors. Click on the author's name and you will find sites specific to that author. Purdue’s Owl explains
how to write about Literature, including choosing a topic for a paper and using MLA to document research.
