An Athlete Dying Young

ENG 112: Annotated Bibliography of (potentially) Final Essay Sources

For this assignment, you need to obtain three academic sources that you are considering using in your Final Essay assignment.  These sources must be found through the library resources (catalog, databases, etc), and can either provide support for your argument, or counter your analysis argument (in which case, you will counter the source in your essay), or detail the lens you are using.

The source evaluation criteria and sample Annotated Bibliography (A.B.) – the handout from our class discussion – are attached to this assignment (see below).  Print this out and refer to it to guide you in composing your A.B.  Along with a correct MLA bibliographic entry for each source, your annotation for each source must contain:
a strong (1-2 sentence) summary of the source
an evaluation of the quality of the source (3/5 evaluation criteria)
The ideal scenario is that you find and evaluate three sources that you will (or may) use for your Final Essay, but this assignment is due before the Final Essay. So, if you cannot find the sources you will use for the essay assignment, it is acceptable to find three sources relevant to the primary text you are analyzing and making an argument on, and evaluate them.

Here is the thesis statement for this:

To an Athlete Dying Young
Housman’s “To an Athlete Dying Young” poem explores how hurtful death could be to an individual particularly at a time when everything is going great. The poet explores the sudden demise of an athlete who had won a race that earned him a lot of regards in his hometown. The good things that the person has done and achieved in his life made it possible for others to remember him at all times (Housman line 10). Although death could quickly end a persons ability to achieve more success, it is his good actions and performance that help him leave a legacy that death can never shake or destroy.
The provided theme is arguable to a greater extent as it explores whether the death could truly harm a person’s legacy or not. First, from it, one could argue that death hurts the ability of a person to achieve more success as shown by Housman’s claim that “silence sounds no worse than cheers” (Housman line 15). This quote suggests that death has hindered the ability of the athlete to participate in the sport and make his fellow society members. The earth had stopped the ears is a quote that very much suggests that death had limited the ability of the athlete to engage in a game that he likes and uses it to spread his legacy. Thus, this theme could be used to argue the harm of death on an athlete and society at large.
Another argument that could be acquired from this theme is that death while hurtful it should serve as a reminder to people to create a legacy that would leave on long after they have left. The townspeople are seen to still remember the athlete even after his demise. Thus, the proposed theme is arguable and sufficient to explore Housman’s essay to a greater extent.

Scholarly Book Review

You are not writing the book review to simply show that you have read the book. The point of this book review
is to provide a critical analysis of the book’s merits. This will necessitate a brief summary of the book, but that
should be a very small part of the overall paper. Critical analysis of a book involves assessing the author’s
purpose, thesis, contentions and methods of analysis. You will also need to rely on your own opinions to
evaluate how convincing the author’s arguments were, and whether you feel the book is an important
contribution to science. To make your book review more interesting, you may want to add other personal
opinions. For example: Did you like the book? Would you recommend it? How did you feel about the writing
style? An example is provided at the end
Your book review should have a clear introduction, discussion of the book and conclusion. Below is a list of the
things you should include in your book review, at minimum (not necessarily in this order):

  1. The title and author of the book you are reviewing
  2. The author’s objective(s) and audience
  3. The author’s main arguments
  4. Your opinion of how well the author supported his/her arguments and his/her interpretation of the material
    presented (provide examples)
  5. An evaluation of any strong points or shortcomings of the book
  6. Your opinion of the book’s contribution to its academic field
    The book review should be 1000 – 1200 words in length. The book choices are listed below and an example of
    an academic book review. CHOOSE ANY ONE of the following books listed in the PDF.

Response Paper Frederick Douglass

Response Paper Frederick Douglass “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July”
Read the speech and then I want to know what things stuck out for you and why. If something the speaker says interests you or makes you utterly angry or optimistic, let me know what it was and why you think it evoked these emotions. There are no right or wrong answers. As long as you turn in the paper following the correct format you get the points. There are no make-ups for response papers and no papers will be accepted late. Do not use any other source (Note: The papers must be well written and grammatically correct.)
