First, review MLA or APA (depending on your discipline) in-text citation guidelines at the OWL at Purdue.  For this assignment, you are going to demonstrate knowledge of how to use in-text citations in an annotated bibliography.  PLEASE BE AWARE THAT YOU MUST BE ABLE TO CITE CORRECTLY and that you will probably have to study these guidelines in order to understand correct citations.

– An annotated bibliography is a genre of writing that scholars turn to when they are beginning to learn about a subject.  Its purpose is to provide a synopsis of the written conversations that are happening about a given topic and to provide the bibliographic information on those conversations.  Writing annotated bibliographies is a useful practice for researchers because it enables them to see where texts overlap, how they “speak” to one another, and where there are spaces for a writer to insert his or her own arguments. 

– Your task in this assignment is to write a very short annotated bibliography with two of your sources.  Ultimately, you will have to use five sources in Writing Project 3, but for today you only need two.  For each source you must:

1、Summarize the work.  Remember, to summarize a text you must READ the entire article.  If your source is a book, you should read only those chapters that are relevant for your topic.  Your purpose is to provide an overview of what the work is about.  Your summary should be 2-3 sentences.  Your summary should be labeled as such (a paragraph that begins “Summary:”). 

2、Within the summary, you should paraphrase a specific portion of the work that seems particularly important (1 or 2 sentences).  Be sure to think carefully about what and why you paraphrase and consider how much you paraphrase.  Underline the paraphrased portion and label it with [P] at the beginning of the sentence(s).

3、Include a direct quotation that would highlight a particularly important point.  Underline your direct quotation and label it with [Q] at the beginning of the sentence or quote.

4、Explicitly state: who is the intended audience of the work?  Academic reader, general reader, children, etc.?  This can go anywhere in the annotation.

5、Comparison:  After the summary paragraph, include another paragraph that compares this source to others you have read.  Does it support the other works’ claims?  How?  Does it differ from other works’ claims?  How?  This paragraph should be labeled “Comparison.”

Poems of Li Bai

Translated by Keith Holyoak

Zhuangzhou dreaming

Zhuangzhou dreamed he became a butterfly,

Or did the butterfly become Zhuangzhou?

With ease, one body turns into another—

Passing from change to change, all things flow.

Water that lapped the fairies’ eastern island

Returns in a stream running clear and shallow.

The farmer planting his melons past Green Gate

Ruled as Duke of Dongling not long ago

Seekers of wealth and power, surely you know

Your vain posing is just a shadow show.

The Meaning of Life Revealed Upon Waking Up Drunk on a Spring Day

Life in this world is just a glorious dream,

So why should we sweat and toil our lives away?

Be lazy—pour some wine, always stay drunk

Like me, laid out here on the porch all day

Till I woke up, and spied among the courtyard’s

Blossoming flowers one small songbird at play.

“Little friend,” I asked, “Kindly tell me the season!”

The wandering warbler sang on the breeze of May—

Spring already! I could only heave a sigh,

Pour some more wine, and down it without delay.

Then loudly I sang, awaiting bright moonrise.

My song has ended—what did I mean to say?

Song of Changgan

Back when my hair barely covered my forehead

I was picking flowers in front of the gate.

You rode over, whipping your bamboo horse

With green plum branch, chasing me round the bed

Together we lived and played in Changgan village,

Two small innocents who saw no shadows.

At fourteen, my husband, I became your wife.

A bashful girl who never laughed, I closed

Myself to you, set my face to a wall.

A thousand calls! I wouldn’t turn my head.

Fifteen—a smile—brows unknit, I wished

My ashes mixed with those of him I wed.

I thought you’d wait in a rising river for me—

Why need I peer from a tower, on my toes?

Sixteen—I watched you leave on a long journey.

A boat through Qutang Gorge in June must thread

The needle to dodge the underwater rocks

While gibbons tell the far heavens their sorrows.

Traces you left are still in front of the gate;

But now in every footprint green moss grows,

Moss that’s too deep to sweep it all away.

Leaves fall in early winds that blow this autumn.

September’s here; the butterflies are yellow.

Pair by pair they fly above West Garden.

It hurts to watch it all. My heart is aching.

I sit and grieve, my face a fading blossom.

Whenever it’s time to start your trip back home,

Write me to say you’ve left those faraway lands—

I’ll run to meet you, run as far as I can,

Even all the way to Changfeng Sands.

Gazing Upon the Ruins at Yue

The king of Yue defeated Wu,

came home in a grand parade,

and all his noble warriors dressed

in robes of rich brocade,

And all the ladies, delicate flowers,

adorned Spring Palace here.

All gone now. Partridges take flight;

wings beat the air, then fade.
