This was what I picked for my first source. I should have switched my sources because this was a wonderful 2nd source and not a very strong 1st. As I read it I picked up on this cannibalism theme in werewolves that I wanted to write about and it was a great source for that. It is actually an encyclopedia of monsters. Full of stories and descriptions of actual cases and provides information on all types of monsters in film and literature.

This was a very strong secondary source for me. It's primarlily just about wolves, but does touch on werewolf lore. It is a scientific study on the lives, habits and lore of wolves. It is written in a first person point of view from the author so it was very easy to understand. I plan to use some of the information about wolves habits and how they have aided in the generalization of werewolf myths.

This is an article I found through the library database. It is a research paper on a disease called Lycanthropy. It gives an over all explanation of the disease and has a some historical value and stories to support the history of the disease.

I appreciated you comments. I also feel like my draft for the final project is rushed. I doubt you paper "blew," but I know how you feel.
ReplyDeleteYour source seem like they will provide alot of good topics you can go off of for your paper. Ive been very interested in werewolves lately and wish i could have picked a second topic hah. Cant wait or your paper :)
ReplyDeleteIt seems like you are going to be doing your paper on a wide varity of monsters. I think that your sources will be very helpful in generating your paper. I will be looking forward to reading yours, in the next blog post. I did mine of vampires, which I think will be a popular subject. I wish you good luck!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea that you chose to do a little research on actual wolves to use for your paper on this topic. Also, I had no idea that lycanthropy had any factual basis behind. I often wondered where the idea of the werewolf came from. In my topic of vampires, werewolves are all parts of the stories, which is another topic that's interesting to me. Your paper should be an interesting read!
