-I'm really procrastinating this time. I have a 6 page (or so...) research paper due on Monday morning, and I can't even find any good info to use as source material. This book (Don Quixote) is so widely written about that it's rarely ever analyzed anymore, and the analysis is what I need. I see a lot of crap talking about the author, but very

Oh Wookie.

This is what I'm talking about exactly. This is a book en espanol, and many of the analyses are written in Spanish with no translation, which severely limits my research ability. I'm not searching the internet for sources by the way, and we can only have one internet source anyway. I am searching databases of articles written from 1600-present about the book and the specific filters that I need to apply the search limit my resources as well. The databases are basically an attempt to make all of these articles that were published accessable through the internet. They are complete with MLA format bibliographies of the original texts, as they are presented in their original and exact wording online. These do not count as internet resources because they are actually printed on paper and are accessable either in a library at USF or elsewhere. It really extends any kind of resources that my school can offer me and going to the library would only make finding the few articles that my school has to offer on the subject matter more difficult, when I can get those and many more on the internet through these databases. Since they are all absolutely legitimate printed articles, it is pointless for me to go to the library. I guess I didn't really explain that... Thank you though. The advice is much appreaciated, and would otherwise have been followed. I was merely expressing the frustration I had with the abundant reviews of the author and the story as a whole, with little mention of individual events in the story to back the author of the literary criticism's claims. They are mostly wide, unsupported claims that state how an already famous writer (including Goethe, and a few other famous british authors) feels about either Don Quixote or Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. They are very difficult articles to use. I got enough information anyway though. I was up pretty late last night finding enough info to begin.

Ah, now I understand. Sorry, that's hella annoying. I wish I could somehow give you my free-access-to-any-Ivy-library ability. I hear Harvard's is the third largest in the country.

I hope the paper's going well. I'm trying not to call you early so that I won't disturb a possible work drive. <3
