Option 1

 * Article title
 * The Giver


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article lacks substantially in discussion of its reception as well as the academic debates around it. Although the plot description is relatively thorough. Little is made of its significance or its impacts in the literary world. There is substantial room for improvement in the article in that regard.

 * These two sources were quickly found using the peer reviewed journal restriction on Georgetown's page. I'm sure that there would be plenty of sources if I chose to focus on it.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * The Book Thief


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has a long plot summary and detailed treatment of characters, but little focus on reception or significance. The lead section is short and provides minimal detail about the book or what is to come in the article. Additionally, a section breaking down themes ignore the larger themes of World War II and anti-semitism in Nazi Germany.

Option 3
