This is my Annotated Bibliography Draft. There were many changes to be made before the revision was turned in. Below are my professors notes that allowed me to try for a higher grade. The notes also allowed me to progress in my writing and excel in future English classes. 

       𑱃 Make the page numbers the same font and point size as the rest of the text in the paper. Also, the text in this paper looks gray, so make it 100% black.

Moore, Richard. "Frost's Stopping by Woods on A Snowy Evening and Out, Out--, and Swift's Gulliver's Travels." The Explicator, vol. 58, no. 2, 2000, pp. 95-97.

𑱃 List sources in ABC order.

In this article, Moore is discussing the background of Robert Frost and his work. He mentioned one of his previous poems, titled ‘Out Out’. The topic of this article was mainly focused on the comparison of both ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’ and ‘Out Out’. It was also focused on the personification used to describe the feelings of the animals in both poems. This is a credible source because I found it on the Pulaski Tech Database. I will use this source in my essay to show different examples of Frosts poems.

𑱃 Use double commas. 

           

Qiu, Baohua. "He is "of Two Minds about it"-A Brief Comment on Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." Journal of Language Teaching and Research, vol. 1, no. 2, 2010, pp. 145-147. ProQuest, https://search-proquest-com.uaptc.idm.oclc.org/scholarly-journals/he-is-two-minds-about-brief-comment-on-stopping/docview/741383230/se-2?accountid=39906.

In this article, Qiu discuses the complete breakdown of Frosts poem ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’. Qiu went over incredibly detailed parts of the poem and pointed out the use of symbolism. He informs readers why Frost worded lines the way he did. This source is credible because I found it on the Pulaski Tech Database. I will use this source in my paper to explain the literary devices that are found in Robert Frosts poem.

Duban, James. ""ETERNITY LOOKING THROUGH TIME": SARTOR RESARTUS AND FROST'S "STOPPING BY WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING"." Philosophy and Literature, vol. 38, no. 2, 2014, pp. 573-577. ProQuest, https://search-proquest-com.uaptc.idm.oclc.org/scholarly-journals/eternity-looking-through-time-sartor-resartus/docview/1663653971/se-2?accountid=39906.

             In this article, Duban tries to connect the readers with the traveler that is in Frost’s poem. The author seems to continuously tie back to the travelers psychological reasoning for being in the woods and quoting him. Duban gives very descriptive points about this poem. I believe this is a credible source because I found it on the Pulaski Tech Database. I plan to use this source to help explain to my audience what this poem is about.

       

"'Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening' is a Wonderful Work of Literature." Daily Times, Jan 03, 2020. ProQuest, https://search-proquest-com.uaptc.idm.oclc.org/newspapers/stopping-woods-on-snowy-evening-is-wonderful-work/docview/2333783708/se-2?accountid=39906.

In this article, they write about the different ways Frost allowed room for people to make up their own assumptions about the poem. The author speaks about how the horse and man feel mentally and gives plenty of information regarding the literary devices used. This source is credible because it was on the Pulaski Tech Database. I plan to use this source to explain how Frost portrayed the man in the poem.

STOPPING BY THE WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING | International Journal of Research (IJR)

In this article, the author makes a point about how we are much like the traveler in the poem. The author explained the poem in a whole and even gave readers many examples of emotions that the horse and the traveler felt. This source is credible because it is on a scholarly journal website and not everybody has access to post on it. I will use this source to explain the emotions of the characters in the poem.

𑱃 Make this citation a complete MLA citation.

𑱃 I would say: This source is credible because it was published in a peer-reviewed academic journal.

Abstract

In this essay I will be explaining the poem ‘Stopping by The Woods on a Snowy Evening’ by Robert Frost. I plan to write this paper by first making an outline. I want to make this outline, so I have all information in front of me, making the essay easier to type out. My thesis statement as of now is ‘Robert Frost used many literary devices in his poems and internal struggles to bring his poems to life’. I believe Robert Frost used his words in ways that many other poets did not. He would move certain words around just so readers would feel what he was feeling. He brought his own struggles to light and put them into his poems, he tried to bring his words to life. He goes into detail about how the traveler wants to take a moment alone and forget all worldly affairs. I do not think anybody would argue that Frost used many literally devices. Frost used imagery, alliteration, assonance, personification and some others I may have missed. The main theme in this poem is returning home, the traveler seems to have been gone for a long time and takes some time to enjoy the scenery to rest. I believe anybody who is struggling or stressed out can relate to the traveler in this poem.
