Option 1

 * Article title: Great Lives from History: Latinos, "Rolando Hinojosa"
 * Article Evaluation: This article on Rolando Hinojosa is brief, yet informative. It presents more information on the life of Hinojosa than the Wikipedia article, and even includes a "significance" page that speaks of Hinojosa's importance in Latinx literature, which is that of Chicano literature based on the Mexican-American border. This article is more focused on his works, as well as his style that includes satire and humor. His most prominent collection of literature is that of the Klail City Death Trap, a collection of novels in a fictional county based in Texas near the border. Thhe source, Great Lives from History: Latinos, seems to an encyclopedia that only briefly summarizes biographies, as they cover many Latinx figures.

Option 2:

 * Article title: Rolando Hinojosa By: Mejía, Jaime Armin, Critical Survey of Long Fiction, Fourth Edition,
 * Article Evaluation: This article is similar to that of Great Lives from History. It goes into more depth of Hinojosa's biography, as well as provides brief summaries and analysis from his most prominent works of literature. Thus, I am probably going to use this article and article above for the most summarized portion of his Wikipedia page.

Option 3

 * Article title: “Rosario Ferré: Entre dos lenguas, entre dos culturas.” by Santoyo, Julio-César
 * Article Evaluation: This article actually focuses on Hinojosa's ability to translate between English and Spanish, and how he uses that to his advantage, in a way creating slight differences between his English books vs his Spanish ones, as Hinojosa regularly revisits his novels to made edits and overall makes improvements. Thus, thus article focuses on that aspect. It's short, but I may consider incorporating some aspects to it.
 * Sources : The author is not very well know, with wikipedia lacking information on his page (ironic), and the Spanish Wikipedia having very little information on him other than that he studied at the University of London and the University of Zaragosa in Spainand is known to be a philogist and translator. Thus, it seems that he mainly focuses on how Hinojosa translates his works.

Option 5

 * Article title: Easier Said Than Done: Masculinity on the Front Line in Rolando Hinojosa's The Useless Servants and Korean Love Songs
 * Article Evaluation: So this opinion piece focuses on the masculinity aspect of Hinojosa's The Useless Servants and Korean Love Songs. A deep analysis by Mahan L. Ellison (who has a Doctorate in Hispanic Studies), the American author dives into Rolando's opinion on war, as well as how masculinity is prominent in Rolando's only titles that are not set in his fictional county near the Texas border.
