an essay annotated bibliography

by

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY

An annotated bibliography is a list of secondary source citations with a short overview of each essay’s main argument. The educational goal is to 1) gather information necessary for your final research paper and 2) to train yourself in finding other authors’ theses sentences so you can write your own. Before you begin this assignment you should read the Purdue OWL section on annotated bibliographies at https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/01…

For this assignment you should:

Keep your final paper in mind during this assignment.

List at least six secondary sources in alphabetical order. These should include 3 books and 3 journal articles.

Include all information required by the MLA style for the citation. You can find this in your handbook or online at https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01…

Include a 75-100 word summary of each source, which should include direct quotes. The goal here is for you to find the author’s thesis sentence.

Proofread for grammar errors. For style guidance, go to https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/

Your bibliography should look something like this for a book:

Lamott, Anne. Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life. New York: Anchor Books, 1995. Print.

Lamott’s book offers honest advice on the nature of a writing life, complete with its insecurities and failures. Taking a humorous approach to the realities of being a writer, the chapters in Lamott’s book are wry and anecdotal and offer advice on everything from plot development to jealousy, from perfectionism to struggling with one’s own internal critic. In the process, Lamott includes writing exercises designed to be both productive and fun.

Lamott offers sane advice for those struggling with the anxieties of writing, but her main project seems to be offering the reader a reality check regarding writing, publishing, and struggling with one’s own imperfect humanity in the process. Rather than a practical handbook to producing and/or publishing, this text is indispensable because of its honest perspective, its down-to-earth humor, and its encouraging approach.

Chapters in this text could easily be included in the curriculum for a writing class. Several of the chapters in Part 1 address the writing process and would serve to generate discussion on students’ own drafting and revising processes. Some of the writing exercises would also be appropriate for generating classroom writing exercises. Students should find Lamott’s style both engaging and enjoyable.

(Example from https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/03… )

And like this for an article:

Babbitt, Kevin. “Mary Magdalene and the Drama of Saints: Theatre, Gender, and Religion in Late Medieval England.” Theatre Journal 57.2 (2005). 331-332. 10 September 2005. <http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/ theatre_journal/v057/57.2babbitt.html>.

The author provides an in-depth review of Theresa Coletti’s book (ISBN-13: 978-0812238006) based on the Bodleian Library manuscript Digby 133 (the Digby Mary Magdalene). He is very favorable of the book, describing the author’s analysis as knowledgeable, thorough, and cohesive. Babbitt highly recommends the text for anyone interested in looking at the performance of religion, especially in light of gender issues.

English 1102: Essay 6: Annotated Bibliography

25% Research

The student demonstrates proficiency with searching the Troy University library online catalogue and databases to identify 5-7 potential secondary sources for the final research paper. The research is a combination of books and scholarly articles. Each potential source focuses on a specific text from the syllabus and demonstrates a general focus on a single theme or issue within the work that will be the subject of the final research paper. (In other words, the student does not cite the first 5-7 items that pop up during the research process, but searches for essays on imagery in Emily Dickinson, for example).

25% Proper MLA formatting

The annotated bibliography demonstrates student awareness of proper MLA formatting procedures as outlined at https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/11/. Among these procedures: listing authors in alphabetical order by last name; authors’ last names listed first, followed by first name; proper citation of title using italics for full-length books and quotation marks for an article, short story, or poems; use of place, publisher, and date of publication for books and journal title, volume and issue, date of publication, and page numbers for articles; use of punctuation including periods, commas, and semi-colons; and proper acknowledgment of medium of publication, including use of “Print” for physical books (“hard copy”) and articles consulted and URL and date access documentation for sources read online (Web. Date)

25% Annotations

The student writes a coherent, 75-100 word paragraph summarizing the thesis of the secondary source using complete sentences. The paragraph includes quotes, whether a complete sentence or selected phrases from the source, along with a parenthetical reference for the page number cited.

10% Punctuation/Grammar

The student has followed punctuation and grammar rules throughout the paper. The student has also paid attention to accuracy in spelling and the overall formatting of the paper.

15% Improvement

The annotated bibliography shows signs of concerted effort on the student’s part to correct grammar errors from previous assignments and to demonstrate improvement over the course of the semester.

wk 4 discussion learn labor unions

by

Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to other students.

Write a 175- to 265-word response to the following:

Describe the advantages and disadvantages of unions from the perspective of employees and employers? What factors have affected labor unions and the employee-employer relationship?

Reply to at least 2 of your classmates. Be constructive and professional in your responses.

Student 1

the advantage of labor unions for the perspective of employers- employers get a well trained and stable workforce, employers have fewer days lost because of work-related injuries or illnesses. Labor contracts give the employer the ability to more accurately predict future operation costs for a fixed time period, negotiating a contract with one party, the union, is much easier than having to negotiate a wage and job description with each individual employee-Disadvantage-union rules base raises and promotion on seniority,k not performance, employees is deprived of improvements in productivity because the employee has no incentive to do a better job, rewarding employees is difficult-union contracts take away incentives, it’s difficult to for an employer to discipline or terminate and employee, business become less competitive-contracts with labor unions can result in substantially higher wages and benefits, employers could be force to charge higher prices for their products, making them less competitive, labor unions could interrupt work flow by calling for strikes, in worst case, an employer could experience a decline in profitability, forcing him to lay off employees or even jeopardizing the company ability to survive.

W. J., Advantages & Disadvantages of Unions for Employers, (October 20, 2018). Retrieved from https://bizfluent.com/info-1214028-advantages

Student 2

They can be many advantages and disadvantages for a union. Unions can provide worker protection. Most of the US are a at will employer, which means employer and employee can choose to separate any time. For union member it not that easy, an employee there must be just cause for termination. This can be difficult for an employer to terminate an employee. Unions members are also provided with better wages and benefits. This is done through the collective bargaining process (“Collective bargaining is a process of negotiation between employers and a group of employees aimed at agreements to regulate working salaries, working conditions, benefits, and other aspects of workers’ compensation and rights for workers”). This can pose a problem with employer. Employer will also have to raise wages for nonunion member also, in order to compete and retain good employees. The cons of a union are- unions require dues and fees that are deducted from your paycheck, where a nonunion member does not have any fees. They can also discourage individuality-union worker are bound by the decisions of the union even if they disagree with the decision, whereas a regular employee is not. This can also affect productivity and slow down work. Depending on location a Union representative may not be readily to discuss any issues that may arise. The benefits to employees and an employer relationship are dialogue between employers and employees, which can build commitment and trust.

design a c program to serve as a shell interface that accepts user commands and then executes each command in a separate process

by

Design a C program to serve as a shell interface that accepts user commands and then executes each command in a separate process. A shell interface gives the user a prompt, after which the next command is entered. The format of the prompt is: FirstName-L3SID>

Assuming your first name is demo and L3SID is 123, and the user’s next command is cat prog.c, so you would enter: demo-123> cat prog.c

The shell process first prints the prompt, reads what the user enters on the command line (in the above case, cat prog.c), and then creates a separate child process that performs the command. Unless otherwise specified, the shell (parent) process waits for the child to exit before printing the next prompt and continuing. However, UNIX shells typically also allow the child process to run in the background, or concurrently. To accomplish this, we add an ampersand (&) at the end of the command. Thus, if we rewrite the above command as: demo-123> cat prog.c &, the shell (parent) and child processes will run concurrently. In both cases the separate child process is created using the fork() system call, and the user’s command is executed using one of the system calls in the exec() family. For any command running in the background, the shell (parent) process does not wait for the completion of the child process; the shell prints the prompt and reads the next command immediately.

A C program that provides the general operations of a command-line shell is as follows.

#include <stdio.h>


#include <unistd.h>


#include <time.h>


#define MAXLINE 80 /* The maximum length command */

int main(void)

{

char *args[MAXLINE/2 + 1]; /* command line with max 40 arguments */

int should_run = 1; /* flag to determine when to exit program */

printf(“CS149 Shell from FirstName LastNamen”); /* replace w/ name */

while (should_run) {

printf(“FirstName-L3SID>”); /* prompt- replace FirstName and L3SID */

fflush(stdout);

/* After reading user input, the steps are:

* (1) fork a child process using fork()


* (2) the child process will invoke execvp()


* (3) if command included &, parent will NOT invoke wait()

*/

}

return 0;

}

The main() function presents the prompt and outlines the steps to be taken after input from the user has been read. The main() function continually loops as long as should_run equals 1; when the user enters exit at the prompt, your shell will set should_run to 0 and terminate.

You should modify the main() function so that a child process is forked and executes the command specified by the user. This will require parsing what the user has entered into separate tokens and storing the tokens in an array of character strings args. For example, if the user enters the command

ps –af at the prompt, the values stored in the args array are:

args[0] = “ps”

args[1] = “-af”

args[2] = NULL

This args array will be passed to the execvp() function, which has the following prototype:

execvp(char *command, char *params[]);

Here, command represents the command to be performed and params stores the parameters to this command. The execvp() function should be invoked as execvp(args[0], args). Be sure to check whether the user included an & to determine whether or not the shell (parent) process is to wait for the
child to exit.

When fork() or execvp() failed, the shell should print out error messages, output the prompt and accept the next command from user.

The shell does not need to support any additional functions such as pipe, and I/O redirection.

Compile your program with “gcc –o shell shell.c”. You can execute the program with “./shell”.
