Hemingway, Fitzgerald and the 20s

Use primary source documentation from the U.S. Library of Congress American Memory Collection to prove evidence of a theme from The Sun Also Rises or The Great Gatsby in a social, cultural, economic or political event or phenomena of the 1920s. Specifications and dues dates at Turnitin.com. What Are Primary Sources? Artifacts, documents, oral histories, sounds and visuals that comprise a direct personal experience of a time or event. Check out these resources for using primary sources, including a Photo Analysis Guide. Look here for information on How to Cite Electronic Sources. Final draft due 3-22-04 to include: 5-7 primary sources, 7-10 citations, 1250-1500 words and MLA formatting.
Addendum: Your paper should be inquiry-driven and have a specific center of gravity. Your conclusion is more important than your hypothesis. And it would be appropriate to add multi-genre sources of information.
