Find five to six articles from credible peer-reviewed journals relevant to your Literature Review topic. My topic is Smart city initiatives to optimize resource usage.
Do not forget that each annotated bibliography should include:
Citation
Summary or description of the source
Your evaluation of the source highlighting strengths and weaknesses.
For this assignment, we will be using the Overleaf Editor, which we will learn about during Week 11 of the course. Please check the task and the instructions for this in the Week 10 materials, where you can also find a ZIP file you should upload to Overleaf to complete your work. As most of are new to Overleaf, just keep the template the same and fill in the relevant sections with your own work.
I will attach the template and a sample

Assignment overview:
For this assignment you will need your chosen story or novel and scenes for the project; all readings, articles, and glossaries. In addition, the linked article and links in the learning materials can be helpful to start thinking about what a screenplay looks like. We will do much more description, but you can see where it will go. Read a bit down into the article for an example of a screenplay to see what you will eventually create.
Screenplay vs. script: What’s the difference?
Columbia Film Glossary
In this Assignment, using the tool of your choice, you will write and draw connections between ideas you may have now for the following. Consider what might be more effective for the mood you want to create, the emotion you want to emphasize:
Setting
Point of view we will view the action through
Characterization (ideas for clothing, speech, mannerisms, accents, appearance, attitude)
Props in setting
Whether you want a voiceover narration in addition to dialogue
Do you want close ups, personal distance, intimate distance?
Do you want to create a stable visual sense or something off and slightly foreboding (we can talk about how later)?
Do you want color or black and white?
What kind of timeline would you want to utilize? Where in the story would this be?
Is this an addition to an existing scene or an entirely new scene (you may do either)?
Is it a flashforward, a flashback, or another point of view from a new character?
Assignment instructions:
First, state your chosen text from the course(Roman fever by Edith Wharton). What book or story from the course are you going to use for the project? From this text (story or novel), you will eventually adapt two scenes for the final project. You may alter the scenes in your adaptation by adding to them, or even creating another character in addition to a character already represented in your scenes.
In this assignment, list at least one of the scenes you are thinking of adapting at this point. In your initial paragraph, discuss why you have picked it, and what you would like to emphasize from the scene/story in your adaptation (this may change, of course). Write at least a paragraph in which you list the point of view from which the scene will be told, the characters involved, and the general setting. You will decide and tell us here from which point of view you will tell your scene.
In a second paragraph, identify three running ideas throughout the scene or through the larger text that you would like to emphasize. Identify and describe these tropes and/or themes in this paragraph.
In a third paragraph, briefly describe what settings the scene/s will take place in–both generally/historically in time, and more specifically, in place. All of this will be filled out as you revise moving forward.
Finally, make a thought or concept map. You may want to utilize Diagrams.net, or you may want to hand draw a thought map, and scan it and upload it here. You may list on it as well. The key is to begin to think and connect ideas and identify things to decide upon. You won’t decide everything at this point. There are many, many ways to brainstorm visually. If you search for “brainstorming” or “mapping” you will find lots of ideas and examples. The most important thing is to get down all the things that you will need to decide and begin thinking about what you will need to research.
In addition, and you may write this into your thought map, make a list of at least three things you will need to research to be accurate in your depiction of costuming, props, scenic background (the actual place as it would have appeared at the time for example), or whatever else you may need to create for the scene. We will work on this research as we move forward.

Write a comparative analysis of at least 750 words. Format your paper according to the MLA. A comparative essay compares and contrasts two or more literary works, genres, themes, characters, or authors. The goal is to analyze similarities and differences to gain a deeper understanding of the works being compared. Here are some guidelines for writing a comparative essay in an introductory class on literature:
1. Select two literary works among those we read so far in class and make sure to identify elements of comparison to make a meaningful essay. I ATTACHED TWO FILES OF POEMS BY TWO DIF AUTHORS, BOTH WHO WROTE ON ITALIAN WOMEN. YOU CAN PICK ONE POEM FROM EACH FILE TO COMPARE TO EACH OTHER. 1 from Gianna Patriarcha and 1 from Antonio. 2. Your thesis should clearly state the main argument or interpretation that you will develop in your essay. It should focus on the similarities and differences you will explore in your comparison.
3. Structure your essay with a clear introduction, body paragraphs that each focus on a specific point of comparison, and a conclusion that summarizes your analysis and restates your thesis.
4. Support your arguments with specific examples and quotes from the literary works you are comparing. Make sure to properly cite your sources according to the MLA. 5. Avoid simply summarizing the works you are comparing. Instead, focus on analyzing how the works are similar or different in terms of themes, characters, style, narrative techniques, symbols, or other literary elements. Consider why these similarities and differences are significant in helping readers understand the texts.
6. Think about the time period, cultural background, and social issues that may have influenced the authors and their works. Discuss how these factors contribute to the similarities or differences between the texts.
7. In your conclusion, reflect on the significance of your comparison and offer insights into why the similarities and differences you’ve identified are important to understanding the works selected. 9. Before submitting your comparative essay, revise it for clarity, coherence, and flow. Check for grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors, and make sure your writing is well-organized and effectively communicates your analysis.

For this assignment (an essay of about 1000 words, or seven – nine paragraphs) imagine the (fictional) Book of Wisdom and Knowledge has been stolen from your university′s library by an unknown person or group of people.
Your faculty and classmates have chosen you to find this item and restore it to your community. Since no true hero works alone, you want to select four others to accompany you on this quest. You choose your companions from characters found in the three epics we have read so far this semester: The Epic of Gilgamesh, The Ramayana, and The Odyssey. You may include main characters, but you don′t have to. Your aim in the essay is to clearly identify the four characters that compose the rest of your team and explain why each one was selected. Be sure to use organizing elements like topic sentences and transitions, and support your arguments with evidence from the texts (including at least one well-integrated and correctly cited quotation for each). Consider each character′s strengths and weaknesses, individually and as a member of the team. REQUIREMENTS
Write an essay of seven to nine paragraphs presenting your argument. Include quotations from the texts as well as additional details that illustrate and enhance the points you are making; you might want to review the Announcement regarding Generalizations vs. Concrete Language.
OUTLINE
Your first paragraph should be an engaging introduction with a clear thesis.
Use standard elements like topic sentences and transitions to move through your analysis, and pay attention to structure and organization. You might, for example, choose to organize the essay by focusing on one character at a time, or alternately, focus on one virtue or trait at a time.
Provide specific examples and quotes, well-integrated and correctly cited, from the texts included in this course. **If you use any materials not in the course, whether primary or secondary texts they must be cited (in-text and in the Works Cited section). A significant and well-chosen quotation must be included for each of the characters.
The last paragraph should be a conclusion. Why, specifically, do you think this team will be able to successfully achieve its goal?
Your final page should be your Works Cited page, in MLA format. It should include the three literary texts (our epics), as well as any content pages from the course material to which you may have referred, and any outside sources used (if any).

For my research essay, I chose the stories of ″Barn Burning″ by William Faulkner and ″ The Man Who Was Almost A Man″ by Richard Wright. I chose these two stories to analyze to the theme of coming of age that is presented in both stories. I also would like to analyze how the two protagonist in each of these stories transitioned into adulthood. What problems and challenges that they had to face along the way? I will also like to analyze the use of symbolism and how it had a impact on the meaning of the stories.

Choose one of the internet analyses from below to write a 350-700 word critical response to. Option 1: Chapter 41
All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; all truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all the subtle demonisms of life and thought; all evil, to crazy Ahab, were visibly personified, and made practically assailable in Moby Dick. He piled upon the whale’s white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart’s shell upon it.
Explanation for Quotation 3 >>
This quote, from Chapter 41, is the existential heart of the book; appropriately, the chapter from which it comes shares its title with the White Whale and the novel itself. While many sailors aboard the Pequod use legends about particularly large and malevolent whales as a way to manage the fear and danger inherent in whaling, they do not take these legends literally. Ahab, on the other hand, believes that Moby Dick is evil incarnate, and pits himself and humanity in an epic, timeless struggle against the White Whale. His belief that killing Moby Dick will eradicate evil evidences his inability to understand things symbolically: he is too literal a reader of the world around him. Instead of interpreting the loss of his leg as a common consequence of his occupation and perhaps as a punishment for taking excessive risks, he sees it as evidence of evil cosmic forces persecuting him.

Option 2: “The Hyena” Chapter 49
Ishmael laughs at the absurdity of the situation in which he finds himself: he has never been on a whaling voyage before, and he is surprised at the danger that attends even an ordinary whale hunt. The Pequod’s mates tell him that they have hunted whales in much more dangerous conditions than those that Ishmael has just witnessed. Ishmael decides to rewrite his will and asks Queequeg to help him do so. He feels better afterward, and comes to a morbid understanding of himself as a man already dead: any additional time that he survives at sea will be a bonus.

Option 3: “Less Erroneous Pictures” Chapter 56
Ishmael then tries to find some acceptable depictions of whales. To his mind, the only pictures that come close are two large French engravings that show the sperm and right whales in action. He wonders why the French have been best able to capture whales and whaling in art, because France is not a whaling nation.
Moby-Dick Chapters 55–65 Summary & Analysis | SparkNotes
Option 4: “Whiteness of the Whale” Chapter 42
Ishmael explains what Moby Dick meant to him at the time of the voyage: above all, it was the whiteness of the whale that appalled him. Ishmael begins his discussion of “whiteness” by noting its use as a symbol of virtue, nobility, and racial superiority. To him, the color white only multiplies the terror when it is attached to any object already “terrible” in and of itself, such as a shark or polar bear.
