The literature review is uploaded and youi should use it for the paper,

these are all the links that the professor provided

I have few other pdf which I will be uploading…Note these are the links and pdf that professor uploaded from the start of the week…and I suppose you already found the book as you did the last assignment. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the format or anything…I have also attached the feedback that you did for the last assignment so you can improve on those

**Feedback from professor for last assignment- Overall, satisfactory work. The introduction would benefit from a further discussion of your own ideas on the book. Chapter 3 analysis has no citations. Citations missing for the chapter 6 analysis. The chapter summaries would benefit from further organization. There are some writing and formatting issues.**
