Research Blog 2 Reed Steiner

I am doing my research paper on the poetry of Langston Hughes, "Weary Blues" and "Dream Boogie" using a African-American or Black literary criticisms. As far as my source go I hit all the requirements plus I have a few extra. I was kind of surprised by myself because I found that used the library more than the internet. I used to work at a library in Lake Elsinore so I'm pretty good at finding what I need. I found things from the Riverside County Library system, the library at MSJC, the library at RCC (I'm a student there too), and I ordered a few things using inter-library loans (which only cost a dollar per book and you can even get books from overseas). I actually went a little overboard and ordered too many books and had extra. I guess the biggest challenge for me was not finding the resources, but narrowing it down. I am actually enjoying this writing this paper quite a bit and am excited to finish it.
