Step-by-Step Instructions
1: Start by choosing ONE of the following authors to research:
William Faulkner
Note:
I know we’ve reached only the first two of our six stories, but every story on this course matters, for later assignments and for the final exam. Therefore feel totally free to choose one of the last three authors listed above for this assignment. Yes, it will mean reading that author’s story to be able to do this research assignment properly---but you would be reading the story later in any case, and none of the stories is longer than 10-12 pages.
10: Now, for this assignment you have to find five articles from at least three different journals—clicking on the link below each listing that says “Full text available”.
Try to find articles that refer directly to the short story we’re reading. In most cases that won’t be hard—since these are famous short stories that (in almost all cases) many scholars have written about.
However, if necessary—as with Joyce Carol Oates or Alice Munro, who have written so many stories that you may not find articles on our specific story—go with articles that talk about the author’s writings as a whole—and look for connections in whatever is said to a theme or themes in our story.
You may find some articles that are too difficult to understand, or just not interesting. If so, go to another article—but you will eventually need to
list
5 articles. For now, the key—as you’ll see in the next instruction (#11)—is to find one article that’s interesting, and not too hard to read.
11: Next: in
double-spaced
paragraphs totalling
500 words, write about
just that one article, the one you found
most interesting and/or informative, explaining why you found it so. Point out some
connections between the article and the story we’re reading. To support your points, quote from the story and discuss at least one quoted passage from the scholarly article in your paragraphs.
12: Then: create a ‘References’ list in correct “APA format”. Here you’ll list all five scholarly articles you’ve found, including the one you wrote about. Here’s how to do this:
Remember that your APA References list of 5 articles
must
- have the one-word heading “References” centered at the top of the page
- have
ALL lines double-spaced
indent all lines after the first for each of the five source entries
(so the first letters of each author’s surname,
in alphabetical order, can be easily tracked on the left side of the list)
