This week you will have the opportunity to practice the skills of finding peer-reviewed sources and integrating material from these secondary (outside) sources into your writing.

First, go to the SUO library and find two credible, peer-reviewed scholarly sources that relate to your essay comparing
The Odyssey
and one of the following texts:

The Song of Roland

Dante’s
Inferno

Ideally, these sources will support the argument that you developed in your essay for
W4: Assignment 2.
Next, retrieve the essay you submitted to the
W4: Assignment 2 Dropbox, along with the feedback about it that you received from your instructor. Open a new word document and copy and paste only the introduction of the
W4: Assignment 2
essay onto it. Decide whether to revise the introduction based on feedback from your instructor and/or additional ideas that you might have had since you first wrote it. Go ahead and make any revisions you consider necessary.
After that, or if you do not wish to revise the introduction, copy and paste the next paragraph to your document, review it and revise as necessary, substantiating and reinforcing (when necessary and appropriate) your argument with quotes, paraphrase, or summary from the peer-reviewed sources that you retrieved from the library. Remember that quoted material should not exceed 25% of the essay.
Repeat this process with all the essay’s paragraphs up through the conclusion. After incorporating scholarly material into your paper, it should be between 1,000 to 1,200 words long.
Now that you have copied, pasted and revised all the essay’s paragraphs, go over the paper to determine if it is properly formatted in APA style (from start to finish) and includes in-text and reference list citations, which also should be formatted in APA style. Next, use the spell-check tool in Microsoft Word to identify misspellings. Finally, read through the essay one last time, looking for typos and glitches that spell check might have missed.

Good Versus Evil: the Case in Homer’s Odyssey and Dante’s Inferno 
The theme of good versus evil is the primary theme in the Odyssey and the Inferno. Like 
many other works of literature in these two works too, the prevalence of the concepts of divine 
presence, divine obligations, and the hindrances created by the evil forces in the way of 
achieving the justice have been dealt with. But it should be noted that though in both these works 
the primary objective of the central protagonists is to establish the superiority of the good by 
defeating the evil, the representation of good and evil differs in these compositions. The concept 
of good versus evil as has been depicted in Odyssey is a bit different from what has been 
described in the Inferno.  
If studied in a compare contrast mode then it can be found that there are some similarities 
to be found in both of these works in respect of the dealing with the concept of good versus evil. 
It is noteworthy that in Homer’s creation the battle between good and evil has been projected 
through two levels – on one hand it is a physical battle and on the other hand it is a psychological 
battle. And this approach can also be found in Dante’s Inferno. In the Odyssey to dissuade the 
protagonist from his quest the evils apply various kinds of slyness and sometimes they are in 
disguise putting the protagonist in utter dilemma. Incorporating all these facts Homer, in the 
Odyssey, has tried to reveal before the readers the all-encompassing nature of evil. Interestingly 
enough, in his creation, Homer has not tried to deal the concept of good versus evil in a 
stereotypical manner. Instead he has tried to convey to his readers that evil doesn’t only stay in 
the mind of an individual who is against god and neither is it the attribute of only the iniquitous. 
Evil, as per Homer’s description,
