Welcome! This research guide was created for students in Prof. Packer's Eng. 102 class.
This guide is a customized resource for this assignment.
Your assignment is to write a four-page paper connecting an author's work to their life and times, and to show how their work reflects this. Provide historical and/or biographical material about that author and discuss how the times they lived in influenced or impacted two aspects of their work.
Choose two of the following elements and discuss how they reflect the author’s concerns, obsessions and activism.
You must use at least one research article from a legitimate academic source. You may also use letters, biography, autobiography, legitimate magazine articles.
