I have made the decision to write on two different authors for my project. Both authors will be women, so I will be able to compare and contrast their expirences and perspectives. After researching authors in a short stories book and on the Gale Group database, I have narrowed my search to three authors: Maria Brombal, Ana Vega, Rosario Ferre. Although all of these women are authors and grew up in Latin America, they have various expirences so their writings are both similar and different. I have done some research on each of the authors and I have their basic background information and I am currently reading their short stories. I have decided I will definitely use Maria Brombal as one of the authors, but I am still deciding between Ana Vega and Rosario Ferre. I have not had a chance to read an entire short story by Ana Vega, so my next step is to read “Cloud Cover Caribbean”. Once I decide on my two authors, I am planning on finishing my research on both authors, so I can write the bibliography.
