Description/Paper Instructions
Paper details:
For this week’s second discussion post, find one website and one database article that would be relevant to the evolution section of your paper. Keep in mind that the source doesn’t specifically need to discuss your story; you can synthesize the source and make connections between its ideas and your topic. So, for instance, you could read this article by Ken Markman and then discuss how it’s applicable to your topic: April 15 Movies Myths Messages Database article.PDF download for example, Markman’s point that “Motion picture messages have outstripped literature, classic music, theatre, and advertising as the authority to set not just an American identity but also a global cultural agenda” rings true for many mythic movies ranging from space to superhero to biopic movies. For the Website: Find a NEW website source that would support the evolution or modern retellings section of your research paper. Remember what you know regarding bias and reliability. The source should be attributed to someone AND be hosted through a reliable source (.coms are questionable, but. edus are more reliable). Cite the website correctly according to MLA formatting guidelines. Then create an annotated bibliography entry for the website. Please hear me from my educational soapbox: No encyclopedias. This should be a scholarly source; this means that the person writing it has knowledge about what he or she is writing about. For example, in a scholarly sense, I can write articles about public school education, higher education, English literature, mythology, gardening, parenting, and traveling. I cannot write scholarly articles about dogs (though I love them), ancient civilizations (though I find them fascinating), insects (which I found fascinating too–check out the peacock spider). I think you’re catching my drift. Scholarly website sources should be kind a lengthy and have meat to them, likely with cited works at the end. FOR THE DATABASE: For the database article (You can either use the college databases through the library portal or Google Scholar–but know that Google Scholar is more frustrating as the articles aren’t always full text) Similar to the website source, find a database article to use in the evolution or modern retellings section of your paper. Really think about your search terms here. If your topic is Star-Crossed lovers, search terms might include: evolution of star-crossed lovers, modern star-crossed lovers, feminism and star-crossed lovers, film and star-crossed lovers… As long as you’re using the college’s databases, eBooks are okay for this assignment as well. Create one annotated bibliography entry, correctly cited and following the paragraph format. Here’s a student example from last semester: Database Source Hicks, Ruth Ilsley. Egyptian Elements in Greek Mythology. Transactions and Proceedings of the American Philological Association, vol. 93, 1962, pp. 90108. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/283753. Accessed 8 Apr. 2021. The article Egyptian Elements in Greek mythology by Ruth Ilsley Hicks talks about some of the aspects Greek mythology took from the Egyptians. As a professor at Wilson College and an expert in archeology, she helps make connections between different cultures and their stories and artefacts. The article talks about Zeus loved Io, who was the daughter of Inachus the river god of Argos. Zeus fell in love with her but she was the first priestess of Hera, who was the wife of Zeus. To protect Io from Hera’s anger, Zeus turned Io into a white heifer. This is one of the elements the Greeks took from the Egyptian stories; Io was a name taken from the Egyptian. The author Ruth Ilsley Hicks says ” Further support for the Egyptian character of Io comes from her name itself. It seems to be a Hellenization of an Egyptian word, either “moon” or “ox” (feminine cow)” (Hicks 95). This proves to the audience that some Greek gods or goddess names were taken from Egyptian, that is why some scholars agree that Greek mythology and Egyptian folk tales are very similar. The source would be helpful in my research paper in the retelling part because it talks about how the Greeks took names and ideas from other cultures like the Egyptians and used them in their own retellings. The Greeks basically took some myths or folk tales from the Egyptians and retold them in their own way changing some of the names and ideas, the same way that modern storytellers borrow from ancient stories. Do NOT list the author(s) and title as the Works Cited MLA entry; it needs to be a properly formatted citation. Refresh your neurons here: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_formatting_and_style_guide/mla_works_cited_electronic_sources.html (Links to an external site.) It would be a good idea to start compiling all your sources for the paper in a single document. Obviously, Armstrong, but you can use any sources that I’ve posted in the modules, ones your classmates have posted, and ones you’re finding in your own research. As usual, comment on two classmate posts. Discuss how one of their sources could be used in your paper.
