Mid-term

You should use your blog to work towards this term paper proposal, due just before Thanksgiving (11/21). It will contain the following elements:

• brief summary of your theme and your possible theory about Lolita and Speak, Memory. If you don't have a theory yet - fine.

• a thorough collection of passages from both books you intend to use in your term paper: you should type out the passages, include the page numbers using MLA style (in-text citation), and include notes with each one relating it to your theme

• at least three critical articles with notes on how the views in each one may relate to your own study of Nabokov; in other words, you may be building on the ideas of others; or you may be balancing your ideas against others who see the books differently; you may use articles we've read for class, but I suggest you search the library database for critics who explore issues similar to the ones you are exploring in Lolita andSpeak, Memory.
