You should have already read the instructions for the essay that concludes this Unit.  You also should have already chosen the short story you will write about.  Now it is time to begin conducting research.

For this journal assignment you will create a brief annotated bibliography.  What is an annotated bibliography you ask?

An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. (Cornell Library Guides)

Locate at least four secondary sources (sources other than the story itself)  that you intend to use in your upcoming essay, prepare an MLA citation for each and then annotate each entry by explaining how the source is relevant to your essay.  Your research should be guided by the type of analysis you plan to conduct for the essay
