Annotated Bibliography

Annotated Bibliography
Shmoop University. Shmoop. 18 May 2014. 15 April 2014
This website was created for teachers and students. It is designed to help anyone understand anything about any subject you desire help with. It also has many great chapter summaries on “Macbeth” and “One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. This website has really helped me understand the play Macbeth, since the play is not in modern English, shmoop helped me understand the modern English side of the play and understand exactly what was going on in each act and scene. Shmoop also has chapter summaries from One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, since the novel was somewhat confusing, shmoop helped me clearly understand what was going on it the book. Also, shmoop went beyond the book and let me understand what certain expressions in the book meant.

Maria Teresa Ciaffaroni. Slide Share. 18 May 2014. Nov 10 2009.
This website helped me understand Jane Eyre in a different perspective. On this website people share their own slide shows which they have made, I find this very helpful especially since I always want to see what others say about the book. Also, in this link, Lorenzo Tosti, whom made the slideshow added some great information about the book and added detailed information about the characters. This slide show on the book Jane Eyre was uploaded by a teacher by the name of Maria Teresa Ciaffaroni, whom is a Teacher of English at LGS Augusto posted this slideshow on Nov 10, 2009. The slideshow was created by Lorenzo Tosti.

Ohio University. Wired for books. April 2014.

This website was extremely useful to try to understand Macbeth since it’s an audio version. On this website, there is an audio recording of every act and scene, which was, in my opinion, very helpful. This was due to the fact that I can’t pronounce half the words in Macbeth, therefore having and audio version of the book was great because I had someone to read along with. The purpose of this website is obviously allowing students to have an audio version of Macbeth without having to read it by yourself. Sometimes some people, like me, have to hear it aloud to understand something. One thing that could be changed about this website is the ability to listen to the audio on the web page instead of having to download it. 


Sparknotes. Sparknotes:Jane Eyre. May15 2012.

This source from the website "Sparknotes" was used to help create my outline for my ISU essay. Sparknotes is quite helpful to provide information on popular novels and their information and study guides provide great research for students and understand deeper thought into novels. The intended audience for Sparknotes is for students to learn and study the novels they are currently working on in school, also some teachers may use sparknotes to fully understand a novel before teaching it. What helped me the most was to be able to pick out certain things about the book to add to my outline, basically the major themes of the book.


Anonymous. Poem Hunter. 21 May 2014. 21 May 2014
http://www.poemhunter.com/lawrence-ferlinghetti/

This website was used whilst the creating of our poetry presentation on Lawrence Ferlinghetti. We mainly used this website when we were told to find some of Ferlinghetti's most popular poems and annotate/ analyze them. The point  of this website is to share some of poets most famous writings and people are able to leave comments below and share what they thing the poems means, what the main themes are, or even comment on the poem itself and share what the poem made them feel like. Also, poem hunter gives you not only the poem, but some basic background information of the poem itself. One thing this website could change is add some basic information on all of the poems they have posted.
