Annotated Bibliography- Milk and Honey (Poetry Collection
Adcox, Abigail. "KAUR'S 'MILK AND HONEY' PULLS AT THE HEARTSTRINGS." Daily Press, May 17, 2016. ProQuest, https://search.proquest.com/docview/1789268958?accountid=11091.

In this article, Adcox speaks of how Kaur pulls on the heartstrings of the readers through her raw and relatable emotions. I used this source to improve the themes section. Adcox speaks about each section of Milk and Honey, which will help me make the wiki article more specific and clear for audiences that are trying to understand the breakdown of the book.

Ahsan, Sadaf. "Free Verse; how Brampton's Rupi Kaur Defies Her Critics Sadaf Ahsan." National Post, Oct 14, 2017. ProQuest, https://search.proquest.com/docview/1950794453?accountid=11091.

Within this source, Ahsan examined the negative reviews that Milk and Honey were receiving from different sources. I used this source to bulk up the negative reviews section because Ahsan has direct quotes from critics Chiara Giovanni who questions Kaur's ability to be a role model.

Ciotola, Julie. “Milk and Honey, Rupi Kaur: Book Review.” Paperback Paris, Andrews McMeel Publishing, 29 Sept. 2017, www.paperbackparis.com/milk-and-honey-rupi-kaur-book-review/.

This book review gives both a short summary of the book as well as provides facts about the organization of the book. Part of this is summary and another part is dedicated towards the positive reviews that this reader gives the book. Though there is some bais I felt getting this critique would be necessary as I found negative ones too, to balance it out in the reception section. The summary and organization breakdown will also be helpful for the lead and the thematic analysis section

Davis, Rebecca. "REVIEW: 'Milk and Honey,' Serving Up a Sweet Taste of Life for Readers." University Wire, Feb 24, 2016. ProQuest, https://search.proquest.com/docview/1767535615?accountid=11091.

In this source, Davis speaks about their experience interacting with Milk and Honey which to them was an empowering novel that helped them get through a rough time. I used this source because it offered a unique positive review of the novel, that I feel adds to the common theme I’ve been seeing of critics who found this novel to be empowering and personally helpful for them. I also used this review to enhance the theme section because Davis gave a detailed summary of the last chapter, “the breaking,”.

Fysudeen, Fareah. “Here's Why Rupi Kaur's Poetry Sucks.” Arts, Ink., 12 Jan. 2019, artsatmichigan.umich.edu/ink/2019/01/12/heres-why-rupi-kaurs-poetry-sucks/.

This source has a very negative view of Milk and Honey which I think helped to understand the negative side of the controversies. I have found many sources that are more positive towards the novel so I thought this one would add a good balance, especially since the last editor was so biased towards Kaur. I believe this source could be helpful in developing the negative side of the controversies in the reception section. Also in the article, the article specifically targets the style of Kaur writing which could also be used in the style section in a way that though Kaur writes in simple words some readers are turned off by this style.

Henley, Tara. "Rupi Kaur: Style Meets Verse to Inspire a Generation."ProQuest, Oct 07, 2017, https://search.proquest.com/docview/1949118967?accountid=11091.

Henley describes Kaur's writing style and how it stems from her heritage and background growing up. I used this article for the background section that did not exist in the prior wiki page. Henley provided details about Kaur's journey from Punjab, India to Canada that were very helpful in the background section such as information about activities she did that helped her get interested in publishing her poetry.

Holstrom, Ashley. “18 Powerful Poetry Books Like MILK AND HONEY by Rupi Kaur.” BOOK RIOT, 2 May 2018, bookriot.com/2018/05/03/books-like-milk-and-honey/.

This page has 18 poetry books that are similar to Milk and Honey. It provides summaries and information on each book that allows me to get all the data in one place. I used this for the see also a page that needed work. Because the novels are ones that have similar themes it helped contribute to the understanding of themes for Milk and Honey, also see what books are similar is useful for understanding more about the genre of this book which is information that helped the article.

Khaira-Hanks, Priya. “Rupi Kaur: the Inevitable Backlash against Instagram's Favourite Poet.” The Guardian, Guardian News, and Media, 4 Oct. 2017, www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2017/oct/04/rupi-kaur-instapoets-the-sun-and-her-flowers.

In this article, Khaira-Hanks summarizes and examines the backlash that Kaur received from being a successful Instapoet. I used this source in order to improve the background section. Currently there was a general mention of Instapeotry, but with this source, I was able to make up for the lack of sources that the article had regarding Kaur's online presence.

King, Gayle, Norah O`Donnell, and John Dickerson. Best-Selling Author Rupi Kaur Inspires People Around the World with Her Powerful Words. CQ Roll Call, New York, 2018. ProQuest, https://search.proquest.com/docview/2009043910?accountid=11091.

King piece is a transcript of a conversation between Kaur, Norah O’Donnell, and herself. Within the conversation, Kaur speaks about her life and her passion for her work. This is an overall positive interview that provides information on how successful Kaur and Milk and Honey have become. I used this source in order to get exact numbers on how many copies of the book have been sold. This information helped me fill the publication section which is a new section added to the wiki page.

McAfee, Brooke. "Rupi Kaur's 'Milk and Honey' Takes the Stage." University Wire, Mar 05, 2017. ProQuest, https://search.proquest.com/docview/1874277069?accountid=11091.

This article looks at Melanie Mcnulty’s production of Milk and Honey, which portrayed the 4 chapters of the novel acted by a cast of 7 women. From this article, I was able to find in-depth descriptions of the chapters which I was not getting from other sources. Also, this source allowed me to add a source to a claim made by the previous editor of the article.

“Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur.” Scholastic, Scholastic, www.scholastic.com/teachers/books/milk-and-honey-by-rupi-kaur/.

This page has demographics regarding the recommended grades that students should be in when they read the book. I thought it would be a helpful detail to add for the style section because the topic, as well as the writing structure, can affect the recommended audience. This book deals with intense topics as the theme section showed so I thought having the Scholastic recommendation of age groups would be a good extra detail.

Mzezewa, Tariro (5 Oct 2017). "Rupi Kaur Is Kicking Down the Doors of Publishing". The New York Times. Retrieved 10 Dec 2018.

Mzezewa speaks to the success that Kaur has had as an Instapoet and as a best selling author. This source is already listed in the references sections but I was able to get more information from it to fill gaps in the wiki page. I used this source as the main contributor to the background section because it offered so much information about her followers, controversial posts, and her transition from Instagram to publishing.

NewsHour, PBS, director. How Poet Rupi Kaur Became a Hero to Millions of Young Women. PBS, Public Broadcasting Service, 2 Jan. 2018, www.pbs.org/newshour/show/poet-rupi-kaur-reaches-new-audiences-in-a-new-way.

In this interview with PBS, Kaur speaks about her story and how she hopes to inspire her readers to be strong and accept their emotions. I used this source to gather more information on Kuar's background specifically referring to the controversies with her Instagram page and the photo that was removed from her page. I thought this was an amazing source because I got the information straight from Kaur's point of view which helped make the background section stronger and more specific.

“Rupi Kaur Reads Timeless from Her Poetry Collection The Sun and Her Flowers.” Youtube, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, 26 June 2018, www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHkFFA5iGlc.

This source displays another interview in which Kaur talks about her background and transition from India, to Canada, from open mic nights to bestseller. I felt this source complaints other sources because although the information is similar or in some cases the same it allowed me to use more than 1 source for a specific topic. By finding similar sources I was able to make sure some sources were carrying whole sections on their own.

Rupi Kaur. “Rupi Kaur (@rupikaur_) • Instagram Photos and Videos.” Instagram, www.instagram.com/rupikaur_.

This is Kaur’s Instagram page that is filled with her poems and spoken word. Here I can got concrete information on her fan base since the article currently doesn't have the exact number it just mentions a “large” fan base. I used this citation when speaking about her background on Instagram as one of the first places Kaur started to gain popuality before publishing, hence “Instapoet”. This citation is also generally necessary to make up for the lack of a citation in the current lead.

Somers, Jeff. “5 Reasons Rupi Kaur Is the Poet of Our Times.” Barnes & Noble Reads, Barnes & Noble Reads, 12 Jan. 2018, www.barnesandnoble.com/blog/5-reasons-rupi-kaur-poet-times/.

In this source, Somers lists 5 reasons, like her writing style and work for fighting chauvinism, that speaks to Kaur's success. The main piece of information that I took was about Kaur's writing style. Although this source mentioned information on other sources pertaining to Kaur writing style being in honor of her native language Punjabi, there is also mention of her style of switching between first and second-person pronouns. This information was added to the background section.

Evaluating content

•	Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?

Yes, everthing on the page is revent and important to understanding the topic of the boook as well as the controversy.

•	Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? Identify content gaps.

There are numerous content gaps. I feel like there could have been more information about the plot of the book, the people who filed a suit agianst the books, perivous laws or cases in MAssachuesetts, and more informaiton about the specfic case such as dates of trial.

•	What else could be improved?

Ther needs to be a table of contents added.

•	Review the lead section. Does it follow Wikipedia’s guidelines to provide basic information and summarizes the entire article?

I think that it does an okay job of sumarizing the book, but I feel like it should have metioned the controversey in the lead since it is the only other. ody paragrah.

Evaluating tone

•	Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?

Yes the article is neutral. There doesn't seem to be any claims that lean towards a specific side.

•	Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

Evaluating sources

I don't think there's any viewpoints to say that one is underreported. The article is unbiased, it is just missing information

•	Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?

The citation link works. Though they give useful information the sources are range from 2005-2008.

•	Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? For example, does the writer use signal phrases to clearly identify the source of the information?

There seems to be one fact that doesn't have a reference. The sources for the most part are simply relaying information. Some sources are written for evaluating why the books are necessary which is one of the sides but it doesn't seem like it was trying to convince reader mostly present the other side of the argument.

Checking the talk page

•	Now take a look at how others are talking about this article on the talk page.

•	What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?

There was one big paragraph that was deleted. Thought this paragraph wasn't written well I felt that it gave more knowledge on the plot that was important to learning more about the book. This article is rated Sub-class and Low importance. It is part of the WikiProject Children's literature, WikiProject Books, and the WikiProject LGBT studies.

•	How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

This article has been neglected because it is under sourced and under edited. I believe that if I were to edit this for the final I would include more information about the specific book and the trial.

Evaluating Drama (Graphic Novel) 2/24/19
Lead section:

I believe the lead section is written well, it including the basic information about the plot and main characters in the book.

Background:

The background sections answers why the book was created and the inscription for some of the characters, but it doesn't answer questions like, when it was written. There wasn't any criticism or bias in this section.

Summary:

This summary adds way to many minor details that keeps it from being a concise representing of the plot.

Genre:

We do get information describing what the genre is, but most of this section are description of the genre by different qualified pole instead of compassions to other works by Telgemeier.

Analysis:

The wiki page has a good analysis from different Scholars. I believe it meets the full requirements for the analysis sections.

Publication:

There is not a publication section. Some information like publisher and date published is revealed under the cover image of the book. We are still missing key information like the formats the book was published in.

Reception:

I believe there is a fair amount of both positive, negative, and neutral reviews within this section. I think it did a great job at organizing the section so it flowed between the reviewers.

Others:

There is an awards section which seems to display a chronilogical list of the numerous wards the book received.

Infobox:

The inbox provided information that was lacking in the article. I think it had all the pieces correct.
