Research and Citations
Step 1:
When researching a topic, it's helpful to first cast a wide net. You may not use
them all—you only have to use a minimum of three—but it takes time to find the
best sources. Be sure to check on the credibility of your sources before you select
them to use.
Remember your prompt for this essay:
Based on your book selection and outside research, describe and
analyze a current human rights issue. You will illustrate how this
real-life issue affects people within the United States and one
other country.
Step 2:
You will create an annotated bibliography for the outside sources. There is no
required length in your annotation. However, you need to ensure you answered
the following questions for each of your selected sources:
•
Authority:
Look into the background of the author of the source. What
makes them an authority on the issue?
•
Credibility:
Is the source published in a reputable newspaper, magazine,
or book? Is someone responsible for supporting and correcting any wrong
information?
•
Connection:
How will you tie this source to your selected novel and
human rights issue? It may only connect to one or the other. That is okay!
•
Quotation:
What is one really great sentence from this source that you
will use in your paper (if you change your mind later, that is okay). Be
sure to properly cite it in MLA Guidelines.
Following the deployment of atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, the American
sentiment became a complex amalgamation of pride, relief, and apprehension. Americans rejoiced
that the war had ended and took pride in the fact that the technology used to secure victory had been
developed in their own country. Nevertheless, they also started to grasp the devastating potential of
the atomic bomb, realizing that it could endanger their own way of life. As people grappled with the
prospect of the United States facing a similar threat from the bomb, images and concepts of atomic
destruction began to infiltrate the national dialogue. The specter of personal and societal ruin loomed
over the collective consciousness of the nation, and a sense of anxious paranoia kept its citizens on
edge.

Summary for Source #1
Following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, the atmosphere in America
became a complex mix of satisfaction, relief, and anxiety. Americans celebrated the end of the war
and took pride in the fact that the technology developed to secure victory had originated in their own
country. However, they also started to comprehend the devastating potential of the atomic bomb,
recognizing how it could potentially shatter their own way of life. As the population grappled with the
question of what might occur if the United States faced a similar threat from the bomb, notions and
images of atomic destruction began to permeate the national conversation. The looming specter of
personal and societal ruin weighed heavily on the nation's collective consciousness, and a sense of
anxious paranoia kept its citizens on edge.
