My problem is that I need to find secondary sources....in the form of literary criticism. Now where can I find such a thing? I tried my public library but they didn't have any....and I thought about buying it from Amazon.</div>

    Looks like I'll have to go to the huge library in Manhattan. I'd rather order it online, because I'm too lazy .

    I'd help you, but I'm too unfamiliar with the work. Which college is offering the course, or is it AP?

    My little sister got a playstation 2 and guitar hero III for Christmas, which I'm disgusted by, but which I'll secretly play in a few hours when she's gone to bed.

    I love the South Park satire of it though; so on point -

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Stan and Kyle are obsessed with the video game Guitar Hero. Randy is impressed that the kids enjoy music from his generation, and attempts to impress them by playing "Carry On Wayward Son" on a real guitar. The kids are not impressed, saying that "real guitars are for old people."</div>

    Manhattan is cool.

    I've never been to California. In fact, the furthest west I've been was New Orleans, Louisiana when I was 12.

    It's AP. The essay itself isn't hard, but literary criticism part has got me a bit stumped.

    My literary criticism? People may say the Brothers Karamazov is a classic, but I dare you to read that whole book without falling asleep or saying "this is one boring motherf'ing book". Dostoevsky writes some borrrrrring sh*t.

    I laugh at AP Literature and/or English courses. Actually, I laugh at any English course.

    Try a university library, if any college is near your home. I went to Monmouth University's library last year for my English research paper and it helped a lot. And I mean a lot.

    I might find it in the city....but traveling there is a bitch. The cold and all, plus I have to sign up for their "special" library cards. All unnecessary junk for this boring paper.

    The essay isn't hard, but the literary criticism is?

    How can that be... most people have to include the discussion, interpretation, etc. in an essay anyway.

    it is MUCH MORE than just newspapers. It's the site for scholarly journals on just about every possible topic you could think of. My first and last place to look for articles.
