I found Maria Luisa Bombal as a potential author, because I think her background is very interesting and her point of view will be different, since she is a woman. I did not read the comment from yesterday until now, so I will look at Ms. Mittler’s anthology book tomorrow. I will hopefully be able to find further works or research other women authors.

As a devote Google searcher, the new web evaluation guidelines were quite shocking. After I typed my author’s name into the search box, numerous web sites appeared on the screen. I decided to investigate the e-notes website. The first thing I looked for when I glanced over the article was the author. I soon found there was no name to be found; however, I searched the website more carefully and found an explanation. The creators of the website state they use multiple sources for their information and numerous workers write the articles; however, there were no names. The site is written for high school and college students, because the purpose of the website is to help students study for papers and exams, so the information content is geared towards teenagers and young adults. There is no way of telling whether the writer of the article is familiar with Maria Bombal. The writing is free of mistakes, which shows the writer is educated, but they may not be educated in this particular area. There is no bias in this article, because it is a more factual presentation of information and the website has nothing to gain from a biased article. The article has no indication of when it was posted, but the entire website was not created until 1998. The information is current, because the website was not created until recently. Although this was nine years ago, Maria Bombal died in 1980, so she has not accomplished anything, since the time the website was created. Maria Bombal’s works did not become well known until after her death, so the article could be missing important information. The links on the page are all connected to other pages on the same website. All of the links work, which shows the website is well kept and managed.

I will not use this website as a direct source for my project. I do not feel the website has any credible sources and the fact there are no cited author does not make the article credible. The writing is meant to be a summery, so the material is an overview, by a company that is more concerned with the quantity of articles, rather than the quality.
