Instructions:  Using the information from this week's reading material, submit an Annotated Bibliography of 5 sources from your working bibliography. First, put the source in the correct citation format for your particular curricular division, and then write a brief annotation of that source.  The annotation should describe the main ideas covered in the source as well as an evaluation by you for the source's usefulness for your project.

Follow the student example included below.  You will use your sources, but you will build your citation based on the model that matches your source in the APUS Citation Guides.  In other words, if you are using MLA citation style and you are citing a book with a single author, you will go to the APUS MLA Style Guide. You will find an example for citing a book with one author; that will be your model to follow for that entry.  You will continue, finding the model that fits each source you are using.  

Remember, your final paper must include a minimum of 7 sources with at least 4 sources coming from peer-reviewed journals taken from the APUS library.   Please note that you are encouraged to include all 4 of your sources coming from peer-reviewed journals taken from the APUS library in this annotated bibliography.  

Submit your assignment as a Word document attached to the assignment link so it can be processed on Turnitin.

Artese discusses the two folktales Shakespeare borrowed from in writing The Taming of the Shrew.  By comparing the folktales with the play, Artese presents a fresh insight into the play which will aid me in determining which cultural aspects are relevant to his time.

Baumlin discusses the use of language by Petruchio in presenting a reality of marital harmony between Katherine and him.  By arguing that Katherine's world is dysfunctional, and Petruchio offers a more fulfilling life, his thesis relates to mine in the respect Katherine is unhappy in her current state and does not know true happiness until she allows herself to exist in Petruchio's world.

Langis compares two of Shakespeare's plays and discusses how one failed tragically while the other promised a lasting marital union.  By presenting a foil by which to compare The Taming of the Shrew, I can present a perspective of what Shakespeare considered a dutiful wife and how such a wife can ruin her husband or bring him much joy as is her place.

            English Studies 88.3 (2007): 262-281.  Academic Search Premier. EBSCO. Web.

7 Mar. 2010.

Ramsey-Kurz's article discusses Katherine's transformation from a wild, rampaging bear to that of a tamed falcon using the analogies to suggest her behavior more animalistic than human and slowly becoming more civilized as she is trained.  Her comparison of Katherine to animals, one wild and the other tamed, supports my thesis of her character being depicted as uncivilized and through training can become a content, respectable member of society.
