Description

Please Follow the given requirements to write Working Bibliography

The Bibliography should be based on references given in two papers attached.

Each reference should correspond to each entry.

Here are step-to-step guidelines to create one entry

Annotating a bibliography…

  • encourages you to think critically about the content of the works you are using, their place within a field of study, and their relation to your own research and ideas.
  • proves you have read and understand your sources.
  • establishes your work as a valid source and you as a competent researcher.
  • situates your study and topic in a continuing professional conversation.
  • provides a way for others to decide whether a source will be helpful to their research.

For Our Purposes:

Sentence 1 (must be one sentence):

  • Name of author
  • His or her credentials
  • “argues that ______” or “surveys the field of _____” etc. + thesis or main purpose

Sentence 2 (possibly 2 sentences for longer/complex works):

  • Refined statement of the progression of the argument – this will somewhat restate the thesis at times, but it should explain how the texts argument proceeds, what ground it covers, maybe including a note about its method or approach

Sentence 3 (possibly 2 sentences):

  • Example or citation of the type of sources it utilizes or references
  • and/or its relation to a broader field of discourse
  • and/or its relationship to your project (if on a larger list)

Sentence 4:

  • What type of readers will find this useful – don’t bother stating the obvious, be specific: what interests will this work satisfy? what needs will it address within a larger project?
  • and/or the context in which this text appeared (especially for chapters in a book or articles)

Sample entry:

Wright, Will. "Introduction: The Hero in Popular Stories." Journal of Popular Film and

Television 32.4 (2005): 146-148.

Wright, a professor of sociology and author of several books on popular stories, argues that heroes should not be defined exclusively by any particular cultural moment or critical interest because we might then overlook what heroes across cultures share. To support his argument, Wright reminds us that the very structure of language down to basic grammar implies a narrative where human actions change situations – the first ingredient for heroism. Wright's purpose in this brief introduction is to address the cultural specificity of heroes identified in subsequent essays, while reminding readers that each of these hero shares certain generic characteristics such as activism and decisiveness. The article is especially geared toward readers of the journal who might get lost in the "transient issues of cultural fashion" when reading about a nontraditional hero such as the Eurasian female kickboxing anthropologist, Sydney Fox.

3/16/2019 RIP Project - Google Docs Yiyu Qian Emily Wells RIP Project / Writing 39B 25 February 2019 Book Review of Jane Eyre The past two century writings or rather the authors of that period’s controversial and prominent topic were feminism and gender-related issues. The author’s true definition of feminism is “the doctrine advocating women’s social, political, civil, educational and all other rights as equal to those of men” (Bronte 138). The beguilement over the subject can be seen in the work of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth and the Prejudice or even Jane Austen’s Pride. Jane Eyre, the central character in Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, discovers the profundity at which women may play in the society and uncovers her precincts in Victorian England. There is a bounteous amount of proof that can show that the Character of Jane Eyre is, of course, the feminist one which can be related to modern women. Gender issues have been quite a debatable issue in every society every century, and so does feminism. The fact that women are often mistreated is dependent on their reluctance to fight for their freedom. Female often feel they are not equal to their male counterparts, an issue that should no longer exist in modern society. As evident in the past century novels like Jane Eyre, the central character is faced with significant difficulties in addition to her social and economic condition. "Jane Eyre and the personal politics of space," which revisits Jane's journey through the various houses, spaces, and places in her story from the point of view of her growth” (Gates 137). The main character shows a strong fighting spirit and can stand out for whatever she feels she deserves, and any judgment or punishment she feels is unfair. The author portrays the character not to be attractive and poor but tells the https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f3e0zOC_U2xIDAfCZkzKcL20mLagGh5pFmTCKJyyg0E/edit 1/3 3/16/2019 RIP Project - Google Docs man she loves that they have the same soul and heart and therefore he should not think of her to be heartless. Men rule the society she lives in, and the treatment she receives from the headmaster is cruel, but she endures and stands out for her freedom. Jane can lash out to her aunt from the beginning of the novel when she feels that the punishment she has received is not fair. In the writer's own words, “It is her grittiness that saves her at Lowood School, where punishments are meted out unfairly and girls are sent to starve and sicken. Helen, who meekly accepts unjust punishments, dies. Jane survives because she does not” (Jong 152). Despite the character’s miserable life, she is satisfied with it but feels that all women should be equally treated like their male counterparts since they all suffer the same problems as the men suffer. “Over the past thirty years, and as a result of the women's movement, gender issues have become entangled with issues of language” (Von Flotow, 2016). She relates her feeling of suffering and hatred and thinks that all women deserve better and fair judgment the same way as men, even though it can be shown that feminism and gender-related issues have significantly reduced over recent years women should be responsible for its eradication. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f3e0zOC_U2xIDAfCZkzKcL20mLagGh5pFmTCKJyyg0E/edit 2/3 3/16/2019 RIP Project - Google Docs https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f3e0zOC_U2xIDAfCZkzKcL20mLagGh5pFmTCKJyyg0E/edit 3/3 3/16/2019 RIP Essay - Google Docs Yiyu Qian Emily Wells RIP Essay / Writing 39B 9 March 2019 Book Review of Jane Eyre Although in the current modern society, men and women may have the same rights and privileges, there are specific gender issues like motherhood, domestic violence, sexual discrimination and equal pay which may still lead to the rise of person’s interest. The attitude towards the feminist point of view has today changed and has significantly evolved compared to the Victorian period. The issues of feminism are still debatable in the modern era. Economic, social and political inequality between men and women are very vital matters for the contemporary world. The novel Jane Eyre may be deemed as a Bildungsroman or romance novel, a psychological or gothic novel. The book can as well be analyzed from the feminist point of view considering the important statement on matters to women presented in Victorian society. The genre is crucial in conveying the message to the audience in a way that it explains to the gender issues and feminism in Victorian society. I realize that the central character Jane is portrayed to be satisfied by the kind of life she is living although she does not have any means to travel which is her greatest regrets. Relating her feeling to all women not only the women of her class and claims that all women should be generally calm but instead feel the same way men think. In the novel. I find that the main character Jane says that women require a field worth their effort and exercise for their faculties the same way that the men do since they suffer from too unequivocal a stagnation or too rigid a restraint exactly the as men would endure. She claims that it is not fit for men or somewhat more privileged creatures, as would she https://docs.google.com/document/d/1d5w3G4DyKUD-J-XFPXx5HGAPTK-_wcnFzwETBbyH9V0/edit 1/4 3/16/2019 RIP Essay - Google Docs would refer to them to say that women should curb themselves to knitting stockings, making pudding, to embroidering bags and playing the piano. Bertha, on the other hand, is a character that is portrayed by the author to be resisting though she is, of course, a female character. The manner at which the character is portrayed makes Jane has less sympathy for her. Although she is a woman, she is referred to like it, and the manner that Jane describes their meeting with Bertha is surely not meeting with a human being but an animal. “Although Wide Sargasso Sea appeared as a prequel of Jane Eyre, Rhys presented a more advancing and radical feminist thought in Wide Sargasso Sea, and Bertha Mason is a typical representation of woman as victim of both patriarchy and colonialism (Jiang, 2018). The central character is born and thrives in a society where the likelihood of Jane’s success is put to measure according to the degree of her marriageability. The author describes Jane to be less attractive in the aspect of beauty and moreover; she is an orphan. Her interest is not drawn to just marriage as compared to the other women’s attention that is of her age. Jane’s primary aim is to preserve her freedom and identity in a society governed by the male creatures. Due to these distinctions of interest like other women despite her gender, she has the courage of standing out and demanding her right at any time that she feels that she has been unfairly treated be it her aunt, the boy she is in love with or her headmaster. From the very start of the novel, the central character can stand out to her aunt when she feels that her punishment is unfair. After talking to Lloyd, she says, “They are not fit to associate with me, ” which she refers to Georgiana, Eliza and John who are told not to associate with her (Bronte 23) . Feminism is again proven by Jane when she does not downgrade herself to Rochester in regards to the spiritual qualities despite being less than a member of the family. Eyre insists that she is more compared to her social status and asks her boyfriend https://docs.google.com/document/d/1d5w3G4DyKUD-J-XFPXx5HGAPTK-_wcnFzwETBbyH9V0/edit 2/4 3/16/2019 RIP Essay - Google Docs whether he thinks she is heartless and soulless because she is little, ugly, obscure and poor. She tells him he is wrong and since they have the same soul and the full hearts. In her own words she says, "Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton? a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!--I have as much soul as you,--and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh; --it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal, --as we are!" (Bronte, 13) Gender issues and feminism is quite evident from the sexual discrimination, social, political and economic inequality, equal pay, motherhood and domestic violence presented by the author through the central character Jane Eyre. Despite the difficulty and challenges that comes before her, she struggles to become independent even though she regrets lacking some privileges that the more privileged creatures have though she feels they should all be equally treated. Her stand for fair treatment any time she feels unevenly treated has proven how strong she is and just what every woman in modern society should embrace. “Jane Eyre centers woman as the second sex under the domination of men. Woman autonomy is a part of gender issues which becomes a concern of feminist. Descriptive qualitative method through library research was used in this research by applying a feminist literary approach” (Awaliah, 108). https://docs.google.com/document/d/1d5w3G4DyKUD-J-XFPXx5HGAPTK-_wcnFzwETBbyH9V0/edit 3/4 3/16/2019 RIP Essay - Google Docs Work Cited Page Awaliah, I.

(English, Teaching, Learning, and Research Journal) , 3 (1), 107-117
Indah Mifta Awaliah, a feminist researcher, attempts to explore issues of gender as
reflected in Jane Eyre as written by Bronte. The main purpose of this article is to identify the
gender issues in this specific novel specifically in the life of Jane Eyre who is a woman that is
determined to fight for feminism autonomy in a male-dominated environment. To support his
argument, Awaliah chooses Jane Eyre narrative because she was a woman who was under maledominated society while trying to depict that space of women autonomy.
The researcher collects the relevant secondary data for research purposes from the novel
by Charlotte Bronte as well as an array of relevant journals. Awaliah through research finds out
that gender issues as depicted in the novel did indeed, exist. The author's purpose in this article is
to decipher the gender issues that are still relevant in the modern era from a feminist perspective.
The article is geared towards identifying gender-based oppression as a result of oppression to
women and issues such as loneliness, loyalty, the role of women in society, the array of social
classes and their effect on women.
