    Ok so I had a research paper due today over a short story of our choice from a given list. I chose 'Shiloh' by Bobbie Ann Mason. I read it and actually enjoyed it. Anyways the paper was assigned like 2 months ago and I just began working on it this morning. But as I'm trying to find any sources or character analyzation all I can find is essays to buy on the matter. Not actual sources for my own need. Any help on some good sites I can use for my research?

    Well I started last night but there something about doing homework at night that I just can't do. I already went to class and we're allowed to have one late paper without penalty so he's letting me turn it in on Tuesday which I also have to turn in another 5 paragraph essay and its the day we take our final.

    Young poster with dreams
    Dream ev'ry paper on your own
    When posters play
    Seems like you end up alone

    Teacher says he'd love to help you
    If he had the time
    So you turn to the only friend you can find
    There on your screen

    Shilo, when i was young
    I used to call your name
    When no one else would come
    Shilo, you always came
    And we'd play

    Are you near a library?

    Library catalogs are usually the thing to go to.

    The UH library website brought up several books and articles available on that author and her work.

    I don't know if you have access to it through your public library, but I use OneSearch. It's an online access to magazine and journal articles.

    If you can go through your public library's website its a good source. For ours its under "research and homework"

    find someone else who wrote an essay. scroll down to their bibliography, use their sources.
    don't do direct citations, take the grade hit.

    maybe next time, start earlier?

    Nothing wrong with a shameless self promotion of our company - plus its cheap!:

    Questia

    Let me know if you have any questions on your search or if I can help in any way....

    Anyway, I wanted to read from chapter three which is the story of my first rise to financial prominence:
    I had a small house of brokerage on Wall Street
    Many days no business come to my hut... my hut...
    But Jimmy has fear?
    A thousand times no.
    I never doubted myself for a minute for I knew that my monkey strong bowels were girded with strength like the loins of a dragon ribboned with fat and the opulence of buffalo... dung.
    Glorious sunset of my heart was fading.
    Soon the super karate monkey death car would park in my space.
    But Jimmy has fancy plans...and pants to match.
    The monkey clown horrible karate round and yummy like cute small baby chick would beat the donkey.
