Final Essay Project - Annotated Bibliography The goal of this assignment is to help you compile, select, and study the sources you will use in your final essay project. It also asks you to spend time reading, interpreting, and analyzing your sources so that you can decide how you might incorporate them in your project. The idea here is to list five or more sources you’re thinking about using in your essay; you may later discover a source may not fit your argument and find others that do. The idea here is to help you become familiar with the library databases and the sources you’re considering and how they might operate in your essay (to help you develop your thesis/analysis or answer your research question). This assignment will also give me an idea of the sources you’re considering so I can give you some feedback. To create your bibliography, follow these guidelines for each entry: 1. List all of your selected sources in MLA format (8th edition). Since your sources must come from the library databases, each of the databases – OneSearch, Proquest, Opposing Viewpoints, CQResearcher, etc. – provide citation links; all you have to do is click on it, select MLA 8th edition, and your source will be cited for you. 2. Just below each MLA citation, write a 100-word summary of the source, which includes a one or two sentence explanation of how you think this source will help support, be of value to, your argument. 3. Before turning in your annotated bibliography, remember to proofread and correct for errors. 4. Be sure your annotated bibliography is typed, 12 pt font, Times New Roman, with 1” margins. (You can submit your AB in a MSWord docx format or convert it to a pdf file in this format). As I addressed above, including sources in your working annotated bibliography does not obligate you to use them in your final paper, but your work will be more useful if you begin careful research now and explore sources that you intend to use. Here is a sample of some Annotated Bibliography entries. Introduction As I hope you’re picking up from the texts and subjects we are reading and studying in this class, the human race has been "struggling" to make sense of its place in world (and beyond, as per our spiritual interests) since our ancient ancestors first walked the earth. While this challenge started with the simple but necessary focus on survival, and as we adapted to new and alternating climates, our social skills evolved a whole new set of challenges that put our relationships with others, and even ourselves, on a more mentally-focused path. Instead of the world becoming easier to navigate and adapt to, it seems to have gotten more difficult - which is obviously our own fault. We manufactured countries, governments, societies, organizations, and fringe groups, as well as nature, to contend with. However, as ominous as all this may seem, the human race has evolved and developed in many positive ways. It's been a rough road, and we're always dealing with some bumps, but at least we keep trying. Assignment So, without having to tackle anything too big, look at one specific struggle we've explored in this class that you find intriguing and dig a little deeper – or dig in a new direction entirely (in case there's something we overlooked or didn't address fully) – into how this struggle came about, how people (or a person) dealt (or didn't deal) with it, and what were -and perhaps still are - the ongoing challenges of having to face this struggle. Consider yourself to be a humanitarian on the hunt to really get into this one issue. Again, focus on a specific struggle. Here are some ideas: · relying on a specific instinct for survival (can be physical or mental) · a psychological issue (the manifestation and contradictions of a behavior) · a bias (stereotype; a specific one) · a confrontation between social classes · a clash of cultural differences · what makes this individual a hero and why · the fault in social darwinism (for a specific type of person or group of people) · why a fear creates such anxiety in some people Now, as I said, these are just suggestions If want to come up with your own approach to a particular subject we've been studying in this course, that's fine, but keep in mind that whatever issue you choose to address, you must be specific. You're just writing a paper, not a book or a twelve-volume series, so you need to keep your focus on a specific person, type of person, culture, stereotype, situation, etc. The more specific you are, the more effective your project will be. Your paper will consist of two parts: · The first part of your paper (about four to six pages) should be an exploration of the issue in depth; this exploration will include a minimum of four outside sources from the library databases. You may use one source from our course that fits the issue you’re writing about, but the other four must be of your own discovery. · The second part of your paper will be your assessment of why you think this struggle was such a challenge, who or what is to blame for inciting and/or even perpetuating the struggle, and how this struggle might still be a factor in current perception today. Since your assessment should be about two or more pages, be sure and explain your rationale fully and point to specifics from your exploration (the first part of your paper) to help validate what you are asserting. So, to be clear, the paper will be about six to eight pages in length, which includes both parts mentioned above, and incorporate at least four additional sources (besides the one you might use from our course readings) to support your exploration. Resources Use this book as resource, there can be outside source but book is main resource. It is free on online.

Human Struggle Project proposal Question: Submit your one-page, one or two-paragraph synopsis of what you propose to write about, and the direction (a tentative thesis; the main idea) you are thinking about taking with the paper, here. My proposal is what makes this individual a hero and why? The majority of people have their own beliefs on what makes a hero a hero. Over the years, many writers have written novels, comics, and other works on heroes and what they believe makes them stand out. There are also ancient legends and myths from all around the globe passed down through generations. So, what is it about them that makes them such a hero? Joseph Campbell gives a very excellent outline of what he believes should characterize a hero in his book The Hero's Journey. A hero is someone who, in some manner, defies the expectations of what it is to be a regular human being. Their intellect, bravery, and endurance, among other qualities, are much beyond what is expected of them regularly. Whether they realize it or not, these heroes find themselves on a particular road in life, whether the path is symbolic or literal. Along the way, the heroes must battle their inner demons and their cravings for the outside world. They also encounter a variety of challenges and make life-altering decisions. They will sometimes even choose to give up sections of their lives, if not their whole lives, to spare others around them from certain death. Their decisions and heart ships have brought them to a place of enlightenment, whether theologically, intellectually, or physically. They are grateful for their experiences. This is the Feedback I got from the professor. Here says he wants focus on the specific individual. Professor feedback: Okay, so what are you asserting about the hero? Consider focusing on an individual, a specific one, or a specific type of one, and what makes him/her a hero. You can go real (such as a professional person or a notable public figure) or fictional, but make clear what constitutes this individual as a hero. Make clear what the "qualifications" are that make him/her a hero. Resources Use this book as resource, there can be outside source but book is main resource. It is free on online.

Title: What and Makes Oedipus’ a Tragic Hero and Why?
Abstract
In this paper the main focus is subjected on Oedipus, who is considered as the hero here. The life and the journey of Oedipus was considered heroic considering the several circumstances that existed in his life and the way he responded to those situations. The several sources that are considered in this paper help in establishing a view point regarding how the
title hero is justified to Oedipus. Why the journey and the life of Oedipus is considered heroic is channelized through this context. The paper further focuses on a strong thesis statement that considerably complied with the situation.
Thesis Statement
    Oedipus’ lack of knowledge of his origin and circumstance has lead to his tragic fall despite his emergence as a hero. Oedipus’ velour and capacity to lead, makes him a hero against odds, but makes him a tragic character at the end for his ignorance of truth.
Introduction
    There are a number of notions as to whether Oedipus ought to be really considered a hero or not. It is to be mentioned at the very outset, that, different people have different ideas regarding a hero; they have various notions and different sorts of ideals as well. However, Oedipus is truly and really a hero for a number of reasons. The reasons will be discussed one by one and the heroic nature of Oedipus will also be unfolded through the help of this particular research paper. However, at the very beginning, the definition of hero can be given as an individual who defies all the expectations of a regular being. Oedipus too, does the same, as it will be found out in this particular paper.
Aspects that make Oedipus a Hero
    Oedipus is a tragic hero, as Aristotle had defined him, in his book Poetics. In case of a tragic hero, as outlined by Aristotle, the audience first feels a sense of strong connection to the hero, that is, here, Oedipus. After that, the audience fears that a tragedy will befall him and finally a tragedy truly befalls the hero as a result of which the audience feels a sense of catharsis of purgation of feelings. In the case of Oedipus, all these elements are present in a highly detailed manner. Again, most importantly, according to Sidoli, Oedipus is an extremely strong as well as complicated and complex character who is extremely difficult to judge. Oedipus is a hero as well as a tragic hero as he has been made exemplary in the different chapters of Poetics by Aristotle.
    Oedipus is of royal origin. That is to say, he is the son of King Laius and Queen Jocasta. They are the King and Queen of Thebes. Therefore, it can be said that, by birth, Oedipus is of noble birth as well as origin. nobility and virtue are two of the greatest qualities that are observed in Oedipus, as it is seen in the other Greek heroes. However, it was said in the myth, that the son of Laius will murder the king. As a result of this, the King, that is, Laius had ordered his son to be pierced in the ankles as sent far away. However, that was not the case that actually happened. The King of Corinth actually found Oedipus and adopted him as their own son. Therefore, from that day onwards, Oedipus became the royal son of the King Polybus and Queen Merope, the King and Queen of Corinth (Tutt). Yet again, Oedipus became the successor of a royal and noble family. Therefore, this time too, Oedipus gains a second kind of nobility, although a false one.
As illustrated by (Hassnain) there are aspects that preferably tend to establish Oedipus as a hero. The main reason behind the fact is Oedipus was not like the normal heroes that are channelized in a way that pacifies a hero can deal with all the problems and he is a born hero. In the case of Oedipus it was depicted that how he battled all the odds that were prevalent in his life and how he possibly learnt from his errors and then pacified his decisions.
Oedipus was considered as a hero as there are several aspects that vocalized these facts the main things that concern to the point is Oedipus was not a person who was born with a bright future rather he practiced and showcased the velour that established him as a hero overall. His learning from the mistakes, his guilt over the wrong decisions, his grief over the things that he committed mistakenly all perceived that why his character is a hero for everyone. His life, his decisions as well as his performance made him stand out in this world. Though the tragic word was associated with his heroism but he was a hero of the common people.
As illustrated by (Primak) the notion of free will and fate has a lot to do with the story of Oedipus. The author illustrated that the overall circumstances that prevailed...
