Annotated Bibliography: a list of your sources (cited
properly in MLA or APA) with a short paragraph summarizing what the source was
and why it is useful to you or how you plan on using it.
MLA EXAMPLE:
O’conner, Patricia T. Woe is
I: The Grammarphobe’s Guide to Better English in Plain English. 3rd ed., Riverhead Books, 2009.
This book contains pertinent grammar information in an
understandable format. While grammar
is never fun, this book does make it
bearable. I will use this book to
improve my writing.
Colvin, Jill. “Donald Trump to Black Voters: ‘What the Hell
Do You Have to Lose?’” Time.
Time Inc., 20 Aug. 2016. time.com/4460237/donald-trump-to-black-voters-what-the-hell-do-you-have-to-lose/.
This article comments on Trump’s latest speech in
Michigan. It shows how even when he
specifically addresses the African American community and is trying to convince
them to vote for him, he is so out of touch that he insults the entire African
American community by assuming that they are all poor and have no jobs. It is especially interesting that he says “your
[African American community’s] poverty” when poverty doesn’t just belong to one
group. It is a product of the entire
nation. My paper will focus on how politicians
use language to separate voters instead of uniting and this article provides a
great example.
“The Daily Show—Wack Flag.” YouTube,
uploaded by Comedy Central, 23 Jun 2015, www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1UZWXKEhV8.
This episode was filmed just after the shooting in a
Charleston Church and brings attention the different media responses to the
event and also points out the problem with historical names and icons. John Stewart uses clips and quotes from other
sources and uses comedy to show why arguments in support of historical racism
is ridiculous. Because my paper is on
how historic labels need to be re-evaluated, his argument will help strength my
point.
