Option 1

 * Article title
 * Ulysses (Novel) - Ulysses (novel)


 * Article Evaluation
 * Rated C-class - Background information is very brief and undetailed. There is a list of locations as a section but no explanation as to why they are there. Very specific breakdown of episodes on the page but the descriptions are all very short and unhelpful with the understanding of the book. Censorship and reception of book sections overlap with information. General lack of detail in the article and rushed messy work. Article is super long but not helpful.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Holden Caufield Talk:Holden Caulfield


 * Article Evaluation
 * Rated Start - Overall very undetailed with rudimentary information. All sections are way to short, especially the intro section, The Catcher in the Rye section, and cultural impact section. There are also some sections that should be added such as one that develops on Holden's role in his novel and general character analysis.
