Appalachia - Poverty, Beauty and Poverty

By, REESE C. "Appalachia -- Poverty, Beauty and Poverty: Appalachia -- Poverty, Beauty and Poverty."
New York Times (1923-Current file), 1965, ProQuest Historical Newspapers: The New York Times. Web. <https://search-proquest-com.erl.lib.byu.edu/docview/116730812?accountid=4488>.

I found this through the American Literature database on the HBLL website. It’s a New York Times article
from 1965 that focuses on individual families and their lifestyles in the same time period Jeanette Walls
lived there with her family. It connects the way their impoverished lifestyle is affecting the surrounding
land and fits perfectly within the context of my paper.

The Glass Castle Journal Review: 

Shirley Sealey

Sealy, Shirley. "The Glass Castle." Film Journal International 120.9 (2017): 79-80. Web.

I found this through the American Literature database of Performing Arts. This is a published review of
The Glass Castle that discusses the way the movie impacts the original published story and changes
certain dynamics and feelings as they were portrayed within the book.

Minds and Hearts: Using Jeanette Walls’s Memoir, “The Glass Castle”, to Teach Emotional Intelligence

Andrea Irvin

Andrea Irvin. "Minds and Hearts: Using Jeannette Walls's Memoir, "the Glass Castle", to Teach Emotional
Intelligence." The English Journal 102.1 (2012): 57-60. Research Library Prep. Web.

This is a scholarly article I found through JSTOR about a schoolteacher in poverty-stricken Appalachian
Mountains who teaches her students to recognize emotional cues between the Walls family. She points
out the way the family dynamics change as they grow older and move, which is the main focus of my
thesis.

Johns-Hopkins Guide: Ecocriticism 

https://litguide-press-jhu-edu.erl.lib.byu.edu/cgi-bin/view.cgi?eid=84&query=ecocriticism

The Johns-Hopkins guide to ecocriticism allows me to further understand and apply the different aspects
of ecocriticism including stewardship and protecting the environment. 

The Impact of Homelessness and Shelter Life on Family Relationships

Elizabeth W Lindsey

Lindsey, Elizabeth W. "The Impact of Homelessness and Shelter Life on Family Relationships." Family
Relations 47.3 (1998): 243-52. Sociological Abstracts. Web.

This is an article I found on Google Scholar that studies individual relationships between homeless family
members and how they evolve through their different situations. This is a point I want to focus on in my
paper as I suggest how having an unbalanced lifestyle led to the disintegration of the relationships within
the Walls family. 

The Glass Castle Soundtrack

https://open.spotify.com/album/4rG0gsoevGSZ0DF0lbfSd4

The Spotify soundtrack for the movie contains many insights into the beliefs of the Walls family and
directly relates to the settings in which they live. I will search the lyrics of these songs in order to gain
more understanding into how dynamics between the family and the land change throughout the movie.

Rowen's Current Research Questions

I'm currently working on developing a specific claim regarding the way in which an LDS critical approach enhances conversation surrounding Sea of Rust. I will likely focus on the inherent religiosity of most robot fiction and how examining that religion through a specific lens allows the reader better insight into the topic. 

Research Questions:

• Where can I access open-source classic science fiction?
• How can I distill the wealth of concepts discussed in this genre into a concise statement related to my topic?
• How do I find relevant information in a larger text? (30+ pages)

Rowen's Annotated Bibliography for Sea of Rust

[Print resource]
The Mechanical God: Machines in Science Fiction

I haven't had the opportunity to actually read this yet, but it looks like its going to be a valuable resource. Specifically there's a chapter called "from little buddy to big brother," which discusses AI in science fiction and how the AI-human relationship has developed in science fiction. While the relationship between robot and human isn't discussed in my text, the focus shift from robot/person interactions to robot/OWI interactions allows for a lot of the same discussions.

          This article discusses the core principles discussed in the movie I, Robot, a loose adaptation of the concepts discussed in Asimov's book of short stories. Even though the concept of identity is not the primary focus of my paper, it contributes to the concepts I discuss, since the topic discussed is identity through agency.

          The common perception of AI uses either Asimov's positive approach, or a more negative approach as exemplified in the Terminator. This image would be valuable to discuss the fear which Sea of Rust capitalizes on to set up its world.

Eliza's Current Research Questions

        I haven't quite developed a thesis yet, but the idea that I am trying to address in my paper - which is about Wilfred Owen's poem "Dulce Et Decorum Est" - is that it was the lack of vulnerability of the soldier who recruited the narrator to World War I, that created in unrealistic expectations for the boy, resulting in an even more traumatic war experience and after effect.

1. Where can I find articles that connect contemporary applications and ideas to the work of literature in my paper?

2. I'm having trouble finding sources that talk specifically about the affect of expectations - any suggestions on where to look for those?

3. Where could I find other works of literature that display similar ideas of vulnerability or expectations, connected specifically with war?

Annie's Current Research Questions

1. My project is taking four different responses (a poem, a piece of art, a musical composition, and most likely a short research paper) to the poem "Death Fugue" by Paul Celan and examining how these responses reflect and influence the interpretation of the work as a whole.

2.

• If I want to tie in reader response theory, where is a good place to start in the BYU Library? 
• I am having a hard time just finding traditional peer reviewed analysis of the poem itself, are there any articles you could direct me to? 
• I am still not set on my last response being a research paper and so I wondering if there is another way that I can quick search for things that have been influenced by Paul Celan's poem?--specifically I would like to find a short story if possible

Magda's Current Research Questions

1. I'm working on an archetypal analysis of The Fault in Our Stars that might also include some critical disabilities analysis because I think I'm going to be focusing on how John Green deliberately strays from a classic story about "sick people" and instead fulfills the archetype of a romance novel to specifically show the dangers of archetypes.

2.
     - What is the best way to go about finding information about the general genre of "romance" (or, more specifically, "tragic romance")?
     - Is it possible to find peer-reviewed literary analysis of a contemporary book like The Fault in Our Stars?
     - I think I'm going to mention a lot the idea of a tragic romance genre specifically built on the idea of one of the love interests being sick. I don't think this genre really has a name so I don't know how to find out if anyone has written about it. Do you have any ideas about how I might be able to find if anyone has written about it?

Matt's Current Research Questions

I'm working on an ecocriticism and cultural criticism of The Road. I will be primarily talking about how The Road portrays and explains the odd obsessions humans have with apocalyptic scenarios.

1. Where are some good sources to find credible information about ecocriticism?
2. Are there sources out there that explain this obsession humans have with the apocalypse?
3. What is a sufficient amount of sources for a paper of 8-10 pages?

Thanks!

Ariel's Current Research Questions

I’m working on an archetypal analysis on how Hamlet’s Tragic Hero "fall from grace" was how he sacrifices himself and willingly saves everyone from Claudius' reign, including Ophelia, his loved ones, Denmark, etc. 

1.      Where should I look to find articles analyzing the politics of Hamlet?

2.      How can I find full productions of Hamlet online?

3.      Where should I look for archetypal criticism on Hamlet or other Shakespeare plays?

Thank you!

Hannah's Current Research Questions

I am working on comparing Blache, in A Steetcar Named Desire, and her pursuit of identity within the New South with the pursuit of homosexuals during this time to find identity and place in a homophobic society.

• Where can I find academic sources that discuss the different genres of plays and their characteristics? 
• What other sources besides newspapers could I use to display the typical attitudes towards homosexuals in the 1940's/50's? 
• What other places besides JSTOR and the HBLL database can I look to find academic journals/articles? Are there specific databases for specific literary theories? 

Sophie's Current Research Questions

1. I'm working on reading The Handmaid's Tale through an ecocritical lens and showing that Atwood's goal is to warn of the dangers of climate change. I am also considering integrating a more ecofeminist perspective by incorporating works by seventeenth century English poets. 
2. Three research questions: 
1. What is the best way to find newspaper sources (specifically from Canada in the 1980s)?
2. Where should I look for classic/general ecocritical essays so I can learn about how others have used ecocriticism? 
3. What are the best general historical sources that can help me understand the context of when Atwood was writing? 

Thank you!

Savannah's Current Research Questions

1. I'm working on connecting fashion across New York and France in the 1920's to women's rights and feminism and where we can see this displayed in F. Scott Fitzgerald's, The Great Gatsby. 
2. Questions

• Where can I find either first hand or second hand accounts of fashion and feminism from the 20's?
• What are my best methods for scanning The Great Gatsby for applicable quotes and statements?
• Where can I find previous criticism about feminism in the Great Gatsby?

Caroline's Current Research Questions

My paper's focus is talking about the importance of using scholarly literary criticism in contemporary and pop culture works - including TV shows with support of less scholarly and multimedia sources.

My questions are:
1. Are you aware of sources that use literary criticism on pop culture?
2.  What would you consider to be the best online database for literary criticism?
3. How would you use non-scholarly sources in a paper and how much would you use in comparison to scholarly sources?

Kayla's Current Research Questions

I'm focusing on the way setting and nature are reflected in family relationships in The Glass Castle. I'm emphasizing stewardship over the earth and within families as well as how relationships deteriorate within homeless societies.

Questions:

• Where can I find information about ecocriticism?
• Do I have access to historical newspapers from the 1960s?
• Where can I find literary criticism about The Glass Castle? 

Maddi's Current Research Questions

I'm working on comparing Charlotte Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" to Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray" and making a connection of feminist disability throughout both, and also argue that both stories demonstrate how perceived illness causes prejudice in communities.

My research questions:

• How can I find original reviews of "The Picture of Dorian Gray" from the 1890's?
• Where should I look to find articles that focus on critiques of feminist disability?
• Where can I find more information about Oscar Wilde's trials?

Alyssa's Current Research Questions

I’m working on connecting the portrayals of Judith and Dr. Faustus in the Old English poem Judith and the Renaissance play Doctor Faustus to the superhero propaganda during World War II. I will probably argue that the superhero and supervillain archetypes are more effective as a means of dividing, rather than uniting, a people.

Questions:

• Where can I locate pamphlets or periodicals that reference Protestant or Catholic beliefs in the 16th century?
• Where should I look for historic interpretations of the conflict between the Anglo-Saxons and the Vikings in the 10-11th centuries?
• Where can I find literary criticism on WWII comics?

Jaidyn's Current Research Questions

Current Research Questions

1. Thesis: I thinking of writing about how and why "The Little Prince" bridges the gap between children's and adult's literature by comparing and contrasting definitions of genre and examining how the way the book is written influences the effect it has on a given audience.

2. Questions

    a. Where can I go to find more scholarly criticism on the book? There hasn't been a lot done with

        it, as far as I can tell, though I have been able to find a few resources. 

    b. Is there any authoritative, accepted source that defines genre and gives standards for

        classification? 

    c. What types of scholarly sources other than literary criticism should I look for to add to my

        paper? Or should I not...?

James' Current Research Questions

Right now, I am working on examining how Mary Shelley blends science and nature in Frankenstein, and how she uses that to highlight the necessary coexistence between science and nature.

• Where can I find examples of people applying ecocriticism to a text so I can see what it is supposed to look like? 
• How do I cite an author's foreword to her own book? 
• Where can I find a solid, scholarly definition of Romanticism and Gothicism? 

Dylan's current research questions

Through Dilsey’s interactions with the Compson family in The Sound and the Fury, Faulkner communicates both the lack of change in the South and in how this lack of change leads to their eventual destruction.

•  How can I find articles using critical race theory on my novel or on others?
•  Is there a good method to find the information I need in a large research paper?
•  How do I know if I have enough sources?

Hannah's Annotated Bibliography on A Streetcar Named Desire

Through my research I feel myself gravitating towards making a claim about identity and how identity is formed, through the lens of queer theory. I am not totally sure exactly what my claim will be, but I have an idea. 

1. [eBook found through searching “Queer Theory” on E-Book Central]
Ferens, Dominika. Out Here : Local and International Perspectives in Queer Studies, Cambridge Scholars Publisher, 2006. ProQuest Ebook Central, http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/byu/detail.action?docID=1114150.

This eBook focuses on the foundations of Queer Theory and the idea of what is acceptable and normal to society. I found it interesting how it explored the idea that repetition is what creates normality, which made me think about the idea of identity and how repetition plays a role in one’s identity. This relates to my study of Queer Theory in A Streetcar Named Desire, as it explores homosexuals who tried to escape their identity through participating in the heteronormative society.

2. [Non-textual Source, movie adaptation of A Streetcar Name Desire from 1951. Found under “videos’ on the HBLL main page.]

A Streetcar Named Desire. 1951. [film] Hollywood: Elia Kazan.

This film accurately portrays the events that take place in a Streetcar Named Desire, and even added to my understanding of the different roles light played in the play. There is a moment in the movie that depicts Blanche talking with Mitch just moments before she is seen under the light. In this scene the lights are flickering on and off, demonstrating the difference between light and dark and her own exposure to the increasing light. In this scene it also demonstrates Blanche’s true nature as she becomes subject to the light, he voice becomes deeper and more assertive. This relates to my theory as the light is a representation of who are in hiding, such as homosexuals during this time often found themselves hiding their true sexual identity.

3. [Digital Journal, found through JSTOR, Online full-text databse]

This article looks at the genre of the play, it’s “modern tragedy” and the characterization of a hero in the play. This article speculates the possibility of Blanche being a hero, yet she is eventually the one who falls to victimization. This can relate to my use of Queer Theory and blanche’s represenataion of homosexuals during this time in a sense that although gay individuals during this time might see themselves as the hero to their lives, they often fell victim to hetero norms during this time.

4. [Print source, fonud through my own collection of books]

Tyson, Lois. Critical Theory Today: A User-Friendly Guide. New York: Routledge, 2006. Print.

This textbook contained a sectioned that described Lesbian, gay and queer criticism. It described more aspect of the theory that I had not yet considered, such as homosocial bonding and same-sex “doubles” which I had not yet considered looking in to in Streetcar.

5. [Newspaper article, found through HBLL database finder under “newspapers”]

“Pervert Investigation.” Washington Post, May 31, 1950

This source adds to the historical background that is essential to my claim. It is an article that was published which talks about the blackmail that homosexuals could experience because of their sexuality. It also displays the criminal attitude people had towards homosexuals at this time.

Annie's Annotated Bibliography on Death Fugue

I am still struggling to narrow it down. The two directions I am being pulled in are: first in looking towards the past, towards what influenced Celan—the allusions, and then looking towards the future: towards what he has influenced through Death Fugue. The other direction I am thinking about taking my paper is exploring complicated nature of the beauty within the tragedy which I only just found a hint of in my research but it’s out there (see source 4) and I think I could also tie it in with the work I have already done.

. [Encyclopedia entry found through google search]
"Death Fugue (Todesfuge) ." Reference Guide to Holocaust Literature.”
Encyclopedia.com. Accessed 23 Mar. 2020<https://www.encyclopedia.com>.

This article gave me a more wide overview of the poem which was nice because so far I’ve been focused in on just a few lines. It was useful to take a step back and see where else I could take the material in the poem as far as form and historical context.

This source could further develop the claim I made in my last paper as it explores the artwork and allusion and connections between Margarete and Shulamite, all of which I talked about in my paper. If I want to continue down this pathway this is a good source to look to, it also could be useful if I want to look into reader response theory.

These are award winning poems that have been published in the American Poetry Review and take after Celan’s poems, again I think they would be useful if I want to look at the influence his poem has had on the literary world. They would reflect different avenues of interpretation back into the poem because of the material they cover.

This is just a book review on a in depth book project that covers the subject of finding beauty amongst the subject of the Holocaust, but it is something that really interests me in Death Fugue and something I would like to find more information on because there is a lot of beauty in the poem whether or not its meant to be there intermingled with the suffering. I think that I could find something to write about with this that would be really interesting and complex.

5. [Scholarly article found through JSTOR]

I like this article a lot because it showed some of the contentions in Celan’s life—in being a jew and writing about the holocaust in german, in being from a place that “was dropped from history.” It confronts some of the issues that I would also like to confront in the poem.

Rowen's Annotated Bibliography on The Bards of Bone Plain

Working Annotated Bibliography: The Bards of Bone Plain

The main focus of my research so far has been the interaction between rural and urban environments in relation to creativity. The story focuses largely on the conflict between music as learned in an informal, rural setting, and music as learned in a "bardic college." The rural learning cannot have the same extensiveness as the college, but the college struggles to connect with the latent magic inherent to the more rural music. I'm really curious about the relationship between this concept and movements such as the pre-raphaelite and romantic movements, which both focused on very simple subjects and attempted to capture their beauty, but often the creators were not necessarily a part of the environment they depicted.

This article discusses the evolution of art education in Japan from a rote, imitation based education system to a more organic system designed to encourage creativity. This will help me discuss the relationships between "internal" creativity and "learned" creativity, and how those two interact.

Eliot, T. S.. "Tradition and the Individual Talent."  The Egoist, vol. 6, no. 4, Sept. 1919, pp. 1-6.

Eliot's article, which elaborates on the relationship between tradition and talent, largely focuses on the value of studying, but not necessarily imitating other poets (or artists). I'm really interested in the relationship in The Bards of Bone Plain between art that arises organically (which Eliot disparages) and art that is created after study. Eliot's article will help elaborate on the principles behind the "study" perspective.

This dissertation concluded that many teachers, while more than willing to teach elementary-school students art, did not feel like they had the education necessary to teach children art. I think the fact that they can, but don't feel suited to the position was especially interesting and will help me discuss the benefits of encouraging internal creativity.

Millais, John Everett. Ophelia. 1852, Tate Britain, London. 

The artist who does most of the cover art for Patricia McKillip, including that for Bards of Bone Plain, uses a fairly common high-fantasy style for her art, which largely seems to imitate the art in the pre-raphaelite movement in the 1800s. From my understanding of the movement, there is a similar combination of incredibly detailed and intense style, depicting very simplistic subjects.

Iili      I'm really interested in this article since it attempts to discuss the value of creativity. It could be argued that the protagonist in Bards of Bone Plain is not musical/creative at all, and it is his very non-musicality that ends up "saving the day."

Alyssa'a Annotated Bibliography on Dr. Faustus and Judith

Working Annotated Bibliography

So far my research has directed me towards the religious and cultural influences on the language used during the Anglo-Saxon and Renaissance periods of England. Because both Dr. Faustus and Judith center around religious practices and beliefs, I wanted to explore how Christianity and types of Christianity are portrayed in both of these texts, and see if there was any connection between each presentation.

I find it interesting that the author used the word "exuberance" to describe the poem's formal qualities; I think it will be interesting to further explore the implications of the celebratory language in the text as a potential form of propaganda.

Because the concepts of heaven and hell are so central to Dr. Faustus, I want to look at the play to see how Marlowe portrayed each, and whether this portrayal aligned more with the Catholic or Protestant version of the afterlife. Knowing which version he used of heaven and hell will help me to gauge how this play would have been received by his mostly-Protestant English audience.

Since the Anglo-Saxons were trying to unite the people of the country (which the Anglo-Saxons themselves had invaded just a few centuries earlier) against the Vikings, this book is particularly interesting to use as a filter for what kind of characteristics are applied to the heroine Judith.

Ariel's Annotated Bibliography on Hamlet

Working Annotated Bibliography - Hamlet

My research on Hamlet & archetypal criticism has led me to research character and genre (tragic hero and tragedy, as well as other archetypes), and ways in which Hamlet sacrifices himself for the state of Denmark and those around him. I’ve gotten some examples for archetypes besides tragic hero, as well as analyses on the politics in the play. Next, I will try next to find some images that could tie into either Denmark’s political stance during the time, or Hamlet’s sacrifices for others.

•       Book found on Google Scholar

Foakes, R. A. Hamlet versus Lear: Cultural Politics and Shakespeares Art. Cambridge University Press, 1993.

This book gives analysis on the political aspects in the play, and how Hamlet loses his political influence through his actions. This can help me understand how royalty can disinherit their thrones, as well as the significance of losing a Prince’s status.

• E-Book found on Google Scholar

Charnes, Linda. Hamlets Heirs: Shakespeare and the Politics of a New Millennium. Routledge, 2006.

Charnes ties in how 9/11 and political corruption led her to believe Hamlet has underlining themes regarding political corruption, and paternal control. This can help me further connect the politics behind Hamlet but also could introduce why Hamlet sacrifices so much for his deceased father.

•  Video transcript on a blog

“Act 1, Scene 1 - Video Note: Political Situation in Denmark.” MyShakespeare, 9 Feb. 2020, myshakespeare.com/hamlet/act-1-scene-1-video-note-political-situation-denmark.

In the transcript, it mentions how there is double meaning behind Horatio’s speech regarding Fortinbras’s men, and how one reason he might have gotten nobility to join his army is in exchange for provisions. This could suggest politically everyone was tense because of famine, and that could be a political influencer behind Hamlet’s actions.

• Video on YouTube

davidtennantdotcom. “David Tennant on Playing Hamlet.” YouTube, BBC, 4 July 2015, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2L8pDhxweM&t=2s.

David Tennant mentions how each actor who plays Hamlet creates a new identity for the character, and each actor interprets Hamlet in a unique way. Perhaps there’s an interpretation that makes Hamlet more sacrificial or more politically driven.

This covers a wide list of archetypes in Hamlet. This might be a tangent I shouldn’t carry onto, or it could give me more examples on how the play is archetypal besides character and genre.

Working Annotated Bibliography

I noticed that a lot of the things I researched tended to be about childhood vs. adulthood. Based on my research, I am thinking about making my paper about why “The Little Prince” is so widely appealing, why it rings so true even though it is clearly fictional and fantastical.

This article explores the question of whether “The Little Prince” is directed to children or adults. The author, a professional reviewer of children’s books, explains that though the book technically lacks elements of a strong narrative, it still has a strong appeal for all age groups. Why?

This thesis uses “The Little Prince” to define what people mean by the phrase “grow up.” It could have some interesting ways to compare what it means to be a child with what it means to be an adult, and look at the extent to which those things are social constructions.

An interesting little semi-biography of Saint Exupery. It talks a bit about his own desert plane crash, which could lead to comparisons between himself and the book’s narrator, and how his writing is meant to show the narrow line between life and death.

This book looks like it explores the themes of childhood and innocence. It is also written by an academic, which means it will be very specific, and could possibly lead to some good social research.

Eliza's Annotated Bibliography on Dulce Et Decorum Est

I took a little different approach to my study of "Dulce Et Decorum Est" this time around. Because I have already spent so much time researching the actual poem itself, I have decided to research more about the psychological effects of vulnerability and expectations, which are reflected in the poem. This has been a fascinating string of research in light of this poem. Something that it opened me up to which I didn't even realize, was how effective the use of flashbacks are in the poem, while comparing the vulnerability and expectations of the young narrator, the soldier who recruits him, and then the narrator after his experience in the war. I'm excited to see the different places where this research takes me with this poem. There are so many things about vulnerability and expectations that I've found already that are applicable to the poem.

This talk was awesome! The speaker goes into detail about why we need vulnerability, and what makes us vulnerable in the first place. I was able to find several connections between her ideas and the psychological attitudes of the narrator.

This is a really neat article that talks about the health benefits of positive emotions. And that is helpful for this paper, but moreso what I was looking for was how positive emotions change over our lifetime, and there was lots of good stuff that talked about that as well.

This article talks about the effects of environment for someone's emotions. And not only that, but it also talks about how we are affected by anticipated emotions. Not only is this going to help me with my research about vulnerability, but something else that I want to talk about that I haven't really delved into quite yet is how the narrator's expectations, and anticipated emotions, changed his experience and the way he handled everything that happened while he was a soldier.

Breuning, Loretta Graziano. The Science of Positivity: Stop Negative Thought Patterns by Changing Your Brain Chemistry. Adams Media, 2017.
What interests me most about this book, is that it talks about how cynical thought habits are formed. This interests me in light of the poem "Dulce Et Decorum Est", because of the flashback sequence that is mentioned in one of the middle stanzas in the poem. Obviously, the boy is going to have recurring nightmares about his experience, but I wonder if any of the strategies mentioned in this book are also displayed by him. 


[Book recommended by Amazon, also mentioned in above TED talk]
Brown Brené. The Power of Vulnerability Teachings on Authenticity, Connection, & Courage. Sounds True, 2012.
The reason why I think this book would be a useful piece of literature to extract from for my research paper, is that I would like to analyze how the lack of vulnerability of the soldier who recruits the narrator. If he had been more vulnerable, would it have changed the outcome for the boy? Maybe the lack of vulnerability of the soldier was a conscious choice? I'm hoping this book can help me answer some of these questions the more I get into it. 

Maddi's Annotated Bibliography on The Yellow Wallpaper and New Historicism

Working Annotated Bibliography

Surprisingly, my research took me in a more feminist approach to the text. I had originally tried to avoid this discussion because it is so overdone with my text, however, my research seems to have given me a unique perspective of feminist disability that would juxtapose well with "The Picture Of Dorian Gray" that I had started in my previous essay. Diving into the ideas of hysteria being a feminine illness, as well as the idea of feminine disability in relation to that, will add a lot of depth to my paper! I do however want to continue to focus on the historical critique of mental illnesses, and how these two topics can relate to each other! I'll have to do similar research on Oscar Wilde and see what comparison I can draw up.

I find this particularly interesting, as the cause of the women's hysteria seems to rely on her surroundings and her inability to "work". I like the idea of it being the wallpaper that could have poisoned her mind-- taking a literal approach instead of a symbolic one.

I liked this idea, and I want to explore the idea of hysteria being a feminine illness and relate that back to Dorian Gray-- his beauty being feminine, and ultimately the source of his own madness.

In this adaptation, the story takes place in an asylum, and what we read from the unreliable narrator is completely fictitious-- being made up in her mind. I liked this perspective of how the world sees the narrator, as completely insane and beyond help, rather that ill and in need of help. It adds to the argument I want to make being that the novel teaches that the world is insane because of it's practices, rather than the wife being insane.

Magda's Annotated Bibliography on The Fault in Our Stars and Archetypes

Working Annotated Bibliography : The Fault in Our Stars

As I’ve researched The Fault in Our Stars, I’ve realized that it fits under two genres: tragic romances and what I will call “cancer books”. I’ve come to find that how the characters and their philosophies (specifically existentialism and surrealism) fit into these archetypes tries to convey something about the nature of life and the nature of love. So I think that I will be delving into Hazel, Augustus, and possibly Peter Van Houten and whether or not they fulfill their character archetypes, and I will also be doing more research on existentialism and surrealism, since those two schools of thought seem to be at war in the novel.

Burton, Tara Isabella. “Existentialism for Millenials.” America Magazine, America Media, 5 August 2019, pp. 32-35.

This is an article that explains how millennials view the school of thought known as existentialism. It argues that this philosophy is becoming more and more popular among youth of today, which is interesting considering The Fault in Our Stars consists of a lot of existential themes, and the main character, Hazel, seems to be an existentialist (and a millenial) herself. This article could help me to understand more about what existentialism is, where it exists, and why it is popular today so that I can better understand themes and symbolism used throughout the book.

Esther, Lori, and Wayne Earl. This Star Won’t Go Out: The Life and Words of Esther Grace Earl. Dutton Books for Young Readers, 2014.

This book actually happens to be about the girl who inspired Hazel Grace Lancaster (the protagonist of The Fault in our Stars). Since I will be focusing a lot on Hazel Grace and the archetype of her “sick girl” character, it might be informative to learn about the actual girl who inspired the character. It would be interesting to learn whether or not John Green changed her to fit an archetype or not.

This is an interview that John Green had specifically about The Fault in our Stars and what inspired him to write it. He talks a lot in this interview about archetypes and how dangerous they are, which makes me think that he is probably purposefully straying from archetypes instead of fulfilling them, like I previously thought.

This is another interview where John Green talks about The Fault in Our Stars, but here he talks more specifically about the people that inspired the book- not specifically Esther Earl, but other sick children who he spoke in depth with. He discusses how we as a society tend to view sick people, and why we should try to fix the way we view them. This could be useful if I wanted to add a bit of Critical Disabilities Analysis into my paper.

Silverman, Marcus M. “Rene Magritte and the Denial of Meaning.” Modern Psychoanalysis, Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies, 2012, pp. 69-98.

This is an article about Rene Magritte, who painted the famous “Ceci n’est pas une pipe”, which is a work of surrealism referenced a few times in The Fault in our Stars. After reading a little bit of it, it seems that Rene Magritte and the character of Peter Van Houten have a lot in common, and they both echo themes of surrealism presented throughout the book. They both address the idea that this life is all we get, and that we shouldn’t look for meaning in it, because there is none. The difference between this and existentialism seems to be a prevalent conflict in the novel, and it is important to know the difference between the two in order to prove my thesis.

“The Fault in Our Stars Special | John Green.” YouTube, uploaded by Puffin Books, 6 Feb 2013, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ue3P0bLD7g.
This is a youtube video in which John Green talks about the genre of “cancer books”. He actually lists out clearly the archetypes of “the sick character” and “the healthy character” and the basic premise of all “cancer books” and talks about what he wanted to do specifically with his “cancer book”. This will help me understand the archetypes that I am to focus on and whether Hazel and Gus fit those archetypes.
