Annotation versus Abstract:<\/b><\/p>\n

Abstract = a descriptive summary of a book, journal, or essay<\/p>\n

Annotation = a descriptive and critical discussion of a book, journal, or essay<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your statement of the key argument and discussion of how the source might work with your essay should only be 100-150 words. At least half of the citation should be your critical engagement with the ideas presented by your source.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say that I am doing a project on the nature of Ovid\u2019s gods, and I am curious about why Ovid presents the gods as he does. I have found an article by Fulkerson about remorse and repentance in Apollo throughout the poem.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fulkerson, L. 2006. \u201cApollo, Paenitentia, and Ovid\u2019s Metamorphoses.\u201d Mnemosyne 59: 388-402.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fulkerson highlights the use of the Latin term paenitentia (remorse or repentance) in connection with Apollo in order to highlight a key difference between Apollo\u2019s experience of remorse and the experiences of remorse that mortals show throughout the poem. Because there are no consequences for gods for their<\/p>\n

actions, it is impossible for the gods to experience a kind of remorse or repentance that is recuperative or beneficial for the mortals who have been affected.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fulkerson\u2019s approach suggests that there is something fundamentally deficient about the gods which makes them unsuitable models for human actions. Rather than being perfect beings, the gods betray their moral inferiority to humans which comes out of their consequence-free world. In order for moral action to take<\/p>\n

place, we must choose to take the morally right action in lieu of the morally wrong options.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My annotated entry would thus look like this:<\/p>\n

Prepare an annotated bibliography of 5-10 sources that you think will be helpful for your final research project. Make sure you use the format of the annotation above. It is imperative that you use a consistent and approved citation style (Chicago, MLA, APA).<\/p>\n

Bergren, Ann. \u201cThe (Re)Marriage of Penelope and Odysseus: Architecture Gender<\/p>\n

Philosophy\u201d. The MIT Press. <\/i>No.\u00a0 21. (Aug., 1993): pp. 6-23. Print.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This source is very unique in that it is based centrally on something I believe the reader of The Odyssey <\/i>might not initially consider a main theme \u2013 architecture. Bergren uses architecture to explain the steadfastness of Odysseus\u2019 and Penelope\u2019s marriage. She focuses on things like weaving and their marriage bed to describe the gender differences faced in Homeric texts by the sexes and how Odysseus and his wife reunited cautiously. This will be a very good source when it comes time to explain Homer\u2019s tactics in describing \u201ctrue love\u201d. Homer\u2019s true<\/p>\n

love is never-ending and can stand strong through anything \u2013 including a ten-year separation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bryce, T.R.. \u201cThe Dido-Aeneas Relationship: A Re-examination\u201d. Classical Association of the Atlantic States. <\/i>Volume 67, No. 5.\u00a0 (1974): pp. 257-269. Print.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The significance of this source lies in Bryce\u2019s decision to highlight the negatives of the relationship between Dido and Aeneas. The author goes into each encounter between the two with the intention of analyzing each of their actions and feelings for each other. By the end, he or she has decided that the two are incompatible, though the author does raise interesting points about why Virgil condemns their relationship to end. I will be able to use this source to show what Virgil sees as criteria for \u201ctrue love\u201d by exploring what issues this relationship had. I believe a relationship as famous and well documented as this one is, although it is fated to fail, has plenty of aspects to work with to predict Virgil\u2019s definition of true love.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

DeBrohun, Jeri Blair. \u201cCentaurs in Love and War: Cyllarus and Hylonome in Ovid<\/p>\n

Me<\/i>tamorphoses<\/i>\u201d. American Journal of Philology. <\/i>Volume 125. (2004): pp. 417-<\/p>\n

419. Print.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a very in-depth source that I\u2019ve decided to cut the length down on. I really like the content of this article; it taps into exactly what I am writing about for this essay. I love the example of the centaurs in love because it is so unique for a pairing of generally passion-crazed wild animals to share the bond that we know of as \u201ctrue love\u201d. DeBrohun explores the opposite pairings between the two; this consists of opposite sexes, opposite animals, and the opposites love and war. The episode itself takes place in the midst of a battle, an example of how true their love is.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

West, Emily B.. \u201cMarriage, Cosmic Tranquility, and the Homeric Retiring Scene\u201d.<\/p>\n

C<\/i>lassical World. <\/i>Volume 104, No. 1. (Fall 2010): pp. 17-28. Print.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a very interesting source because it centers on the common action of couples \u201cretiring\u201d to their bed at the end of the day. It analyzes many different instances of the action, while I will be using the source solely for the interactions between Penelope and Odysseus. I will use this source when it comes to proving that Penelope and Odysseus have one of the strongest relationships in all of the works we have read this semester. It will help me better describe exactly what it is that Homer considers \u201ctrue love\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wiegand, Edna. \u201cThe Dido Episode in the Aeneid\u201d. Classical Association of the Atlantic<\/i><\/p>\n

States. <\/i>Volume 23, No. 22. (Apr. 14, 1930): pp. 171-172. Print.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This source will be very useful to my paper because Wiegand focuses a lot on the connection between Dido and Aeneas \u2013 precisely what I was looking for in an Aeneid <\/i>source. As the title suggests, Wiegand speaks mostly from the feminine point of view, but she does not neglect Aeneas\u2019 side, either. It will be very useful when it comes to explaining the dynamics between the two mortals and their love, even though it does not end happily. A point I will stress in my paper in regards to this episode is that when fate intervenes in true love, a \u201chappily ever after\u201d may not be a possibility. Just because their love does not end happily does not mean that we cannot use this episode to infer what Virgil constitutes as \u201ctrue love\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
