Teacher Remark!! “I would definitely change the “similarities” to “differences”–I believe you would find much more evidence to support this assumption. Hugh Wolfe takes his own life, knowing that he has an incurable disease, and is kind and well meaning towards his family. Rip Van Winkle lies in a drunken slumber for twenty years, is taken in by his family, and resumes his lazy life thanks to his daughter!”
Ernest Hemingway

Literature search strategy portion
is an organized method to help you find research articles applicable to your PICOT question. The organization of key terms used to search will help you to retrieve accurate results. Begin your search broadly, looking for as many articles as you can in as many databases as you can, then begin to narrow your search down using filters, key words, or boolean operatorsLinks to an external site.. Your final literature research should have ten (10) or more scholarly articles utilized and referenced.
The CRAAP Test portion.
The CRAAP test is a method to evaluate the Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose of the literature you find to address your PICOT. Please conduct the CRAAP Test on three (3) of the articles retrieved during the literature search.
The Annotated Bibliography portion.
The annotated bibliography is a summary of a source you may be using in your research. Usually 150 words are used to describe why the source is useful for researching a particular topic or question, its distinctive features. In addition, it describes the author’s main arguments and conclusions without evaluating what the author says or concludes.
“Woman Hollering Creek’
“Woman Hollering Creek” is told as a third-person narrative, not as a first-person narrative. The difference is that a third-person narrative presents the characters to us in the words of a narrator rather than from the words of the characters themselves. The story contains descriptions such as “Cleofilas did this” or “Cleofilas said that,” but it’s not as if Cleofilas herself is telling everything from their perspective. Of course, sometimes she speaks in the story, but she does not get to tell the story or what she thinking or feeling. It is up to the reader to determine what she might be thinking or feeling.
For this assignment, imagine you are Cleofilas writing a journal entry the events described in the story. Try to get into the mind of Cleofilas. Be imaginative and creative. Pretend you are Cleofilas and have successfully left your marriage with Felice’s help. You will not be retelling the plot of the story; you will be Cleofilas reflecting on what has happened. In this journal entry you can put down whatever thoughts she might have using absolute frankness and honesty.
Criteria:
Write a minimum 400 words in paragraph
PERSEVERANCE
Traits often associated with the American identity include boldness, confidence, perseverance, and integrity. These traits are often demonstrated through a character’s words or actions. This week, we’ll focus on perseverance and how it is reflected in two of the readings. Choose one character from a work of fiction (“The Soft-Hearted Sioux,” “Pawn Shop,” or The Invisible Man) and one person from a work of non-fiction (“Speech to the Osages,” Incidents in the Live of a Slave Girl, or “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?”). Describe how perseverance is reflected in each.
