Annotated Bibliography

I couldn't get the spacing right. It wouldn't let me tab over or even space bar it over. I know it's a little late, but here it is anyways.

Annotated Bibliography

Dayan, Joan. “Review: Gothic Naipaul.” Transition 59.1 (1993): 158-170. JSTOR. Web. 15 Dec. 2009.

Drake, Sandra. “Race and Caribbean Culture.” Wide Sargasso Sea. Ed. Judith L. Raiskin. New York: Norton, 1999. 193-206.

In Sandra Drake’s essay she talks about how Antoinette is more comfortable with the native of the island. She would rather lean towards the natives then away from them. She realizes that the island is the direction of her past and her future. Although Antoinette is white she feels as if she fits in better with the people of the island. This goes along with my argument because although she feels as if she can relate better with the islanders, when Tia rejects her, she feels alienated and isn’t able to find her identity because she feels like she doesn’t fit in anywhere even though deep inside she knows it’s with the island somehow.

Fayad, Mona. “Unquiet Ghosts: The struggle for Representation in Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea.” Wide Sargasso Sea. Ed. Judith L. Raiskin. New York: Norton, 1999. 225-239.

In Mona Fayad essay she discusses the fact that Antoinette maintains a sense of autonomy because she labels Mason ‘white pappy’ therefore connecting her to her past with past. This relates to my essay topic because Antoinette can’t find her identity through her white heritage, and she can’t completely find it through her link to the black world either because she is not black.

Greenberg, Robert. “Anger and the Alchemy of Literary Method in V. S. Naipaul's Political Fiction: The Case of The Mimic Men.” Twentieth Century Literature 46.2 (2007): 214-237. JSTOR. Web. 15 Dec. 2009.

Harris, Wilson. “Carnival of Psyche: Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea.” Wide Sargasso Sea. Ed. Judith L. Raiskin. New York: Norton, 1999. 188-192.

In Wilson Harris’s he talks about how Anoitnette’s madness is her surrendering her life. She was unable to find her soul, so she lost it. This is exactly true, and it helps me with my argument because Antoinette and Ralph’s father gave up on life and Ralph chose to press forward and to move on through any obstacle.
