Writing Homework Help

I will be writing a research paper on the book the Watchmen authored by Alan Moore and I need you to write an annotated bibliography following the instructions below. I have attached a link to download the book.

Annotated Bibliography

The Topic to focus on is: Watchmen and History — What events in the book really happened. Why do you think Moore chose to include these events. Does Moore change any of these real events for the story? How? What purpose does it serve to change these events? What historical events in the novel are fictitious, or, alternative to actual history. Why do you think Moore changed these events? How are the real 1980s reflected in the novel? This can be events in history, technological advances, social situations. You DO NOT have to address all of these issues. Create and prove a claim that supports those issues that you find most compelling. For this project, you will do some scholarly research for your Watchmen presentations. The finished project will be an annotated bibliography with 3 sources.

Objectives:

• Find appropriate sources

• Use MLA citation
• Distinguish between types of sources
• Summarize sources
• Evaluate sources
• Apply research to course text

The first step is finding 3 sources that would be helpful in preparing your Watchmen final presentation, so be sure to review the possible topics. This should help you focus on what types of articles that will be most useful. You should not simply use the first sources you find.

The most successful library search term that I have found is : Watchmen Alan Moore

You will need to scan through the listings, and I have also found that the more specific your terms, like Ozymandias Monster, usually do not work.

Keep in mind that these academic sources don’t necessarily need to be directly about the particular work you are researching. You may use history, psychology, sociology, economics, or any approach that you can clearly apply to your chosen work. After deciding upon 3 sources, you will create an annotated bibliography.

The Assignment: For each article, you will turn in a 1 ­page, single-­spaced response that includes the following. Label each section.

Part 1. Citation (Use MLA format. For help go to OWL(http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/11/) (Links to an external site.)

Part 2. Summary (Be sure to present the main points, and demonstrate by using examples and quotations)

Part 3. Evaluation (Explain the strengths and weaknesses of the content, type, and author of your source)

Part 4. Application (Briefly explain how you would use the source in a research paper about the literary work)
