ENG 1102 FCCM Juan Rulfo Pedro Paramo Dead Among the Living Annotated Bibliography

Documented Essay Assignment and Topic

We are ready to begin working on our research essay although it is not due for another week or more. We will all use the same topic, a simple one that is focused on explaining Juan Rulfo’s Pedro Paramo, when it was written, what it is about, its influence on Latin American Literature. I suggest that you start with simple research about Pedro Paramo.

As you prepare this essay please beware that you must include and quote three to five outside sources, use the MLA format, and in the process of the paper explain Pedro Paramo, its origins, intentions, and influences.

I made the topic very simple, so if you have never written a documented essay, you will still have no trouble. You can use as few as three sources, as I say above, and we have been working the whole term on the format, except we now will deploy several quotations and certainly a works cited page.

We are starting in Module 6 so that you may begin to gather some sources to quote, begin an Annotated Bibliography, and get started–with plenty of time to ask all the questions you want to ask. For this Annotated Bibliography you must use ONLY sources with an author–any source without an author will not count. NOTE TOO that the Annotated Bibliography is NOT what you attach to the end of Essay 4. That must be a Works Cited, no annotations, but also one that includes works ONLY with an author name.

Why don’t you start with a search of Juan Rulfo and the title of his famous short novel, Pedro Paramo.
