Hello Students,
Hello Students, 4/25/11
Find a scholarly article on one of the following topics.
1) Analyze gender roles in Steinbeck’s narrative. Discuss how men and women confront adversity, respond to success and disaster. How are their responses different or similar? Who adapts better during the journey to California?
2) Analyze symbols that represent conflict in Steinbeck’s novel. Are there symbols that represent the characters’ struggle against themselves, nature, and/or society?
3) Steinbeck writes in Chapter 3 about nothing more than a turtle crossing a highway—a turtle that later reappears in the novel. Why does Steinbeck devote such an elaborate account to such a mundane event? What does the turtle represent, or foreshadow?
4) Steinbeck constantly alludes to the relationship between common folk and the world of business represented by bankers, prices, merchandise, bargains, deals, etc. What does Steinbeck say or suggest about this relationship? How do morals and fairness take part in such a relationship?
Finding Scholarly Articles
What they are, Where to find them
What is a scholarly article?
A scholarly article contains original research or experimentation by an expert in the field. Apply the following tips and guidelines to find and identify scholarly articles quickly and easily.
What do they look like?
There are several indications that an article is scholarly. Most of the following factors should be present for an article to be considered scholarly:
The name of the journal is scholastic: A scholarly journal often has the word “Journal” or the name of a professional or academic association in the title. Popular magazines that you can find at newsstands such as Time, Newsweek, and Forbes do not publish scholarly materials. American Literature and American Book Review are scholarly journals.
The article is peer reviewed: The article has gone through the peer review or referee process, meaning another expert in the field has evaluated the article and approved its content for publication.
The article is long: A scholarly article is several pages, not just one or two.
The article contains reference sources: A scholarly article uses outside research to support its thesis, and cites the references it uses.
The author of the article has authority in the field: The author will usually be an expert in the field, have some academic affiliation, or have written other research articles.
The abstract has research-related words: Words such as research, study, data, survey, statistical, or other research-related words may be included in the abstract of the article.
Where can I find them?
You may use the local colleges and universities’ databases to find scholarly articles. Some databases allow you to limit your search so that only peer reviewed or scholarly articles appear in the results. Use the reference section of a library to begin your search. Once you have found the article that supports the chosen topic, print it out and bring it to class.
If you have any questions, we will discuss them in class before Friday.
