Boozer. Jack. “The Femme Fatale in the Noir Tradition.” Journal of Film and Video.

            51.3/4 (Fall/Winter 1999/2000): 20-35. Print.

                        This source is found within a journal on film and video. Jack Boozer writes

                        several other entries on noir, and is a very reliable source for information

                        relating to noir and other genres. His information is relevant to the

                        establishment of noir, which is why I included it in the introduction of my

                        rhetorical analysis.

Chandler. Raymond. “Red Wind.” The Best of American Noir of the Century. Ed. James

            Ellroy and Otto Penzler. New York: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing, 2010.

            Print.

                        “Red Wind” is a short story written by Raymond Chandler. It is known to

                        be one of the first classic noir pieces, and provides a basis for which

                        genre conventions are followed in noir. I used this source several times,

                        but mainly in my rhetorical analysis.

Double Indemnity. Dir. Billy Wilder. Perf. Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray, and

            Edward G. Paramount, 1944. Print.

                        Double Indemnity is a movie from the 1940’s that embodies many of the

                        classical noir conventions found in text. It provides as a source for the

                        philosophy of noir, enabling me to incorporate this with some degree of

                        credibility into my rhetorical analysis and other academic papers.

                        compare and contrast this movie to the philosophy of noir several times in

                        my rhetorical analysis, such as in my third paragraph.

Fluck, Winfried. “Crime, Guilt, and Subjectivity in ‘Film Noir.’” Amerikastudien / American

            Studies, vol. 46, no. 3, 2001, pp. 379–408. http://www.jstor.org/stable/41157665.

                        Winfried Fluck’s observations on film noir come from American Studies

                        volume forty-six. He gives ideas on the development of noir as well as

                        what the genre conveys. I used this source within one of the body

                        paragraphs in my rhetorical analysis, and related it the lack of trust within

                        the era of noir.

"Harvard Guide to Using Sources." The Nuts & Bolts of Integrating §. Harvard

            University, n.d.Web. 12 Nov. 2016.

                        Harvard provides several articles and journals relating to academic

                        writing, one of which are about how to use sources. Within one of these

                        articles, they give information on how to frame quotations. I used this

                        source within the fourth paragraph of my metacognitive introduction,

                        which discusses how to embed quotes.

Hedstrom, Mathew. "Using and Forming Direct Quotations." (n.d.): n. pag. UOregon.

            July 2003.Web. 12 Nov. 2016

                        This was taken from a page that describes how to properly use and frame

                        quotations. The University of Oregon provided the article, and is therefore

                        a reliable source. I used it in my introduction and first body paragraph in

                        my metacognitive introduction.

Ima-Izumi, Yoko. “A Land Where Femmes Fatales Fear to Tread: Eroticism and

            Japanese Cinema.” Japan Review, no. 10, 1998, pp. 123–150.

            http://www.jstor.org/stable/25791021.

                        This source describe the femme fatale in great detail, which makes the

                        areas of my writing that include noir-related conventions more reliable.

                        Ima-Izumi discusses the ability of the femme fatale to use her looks as a

                        weapon to persuade men. I relate this idea to its influence on the

                        hardboiled detective, thus linking this source to my own thesis in my

                        rhetorical analysis.

Morgan, Jacob. "Twitter Demographics." Social Media Today. N.p., 07 Feb. 2015. Web.

            27 Nov. 2016.

                        Morgan’s article on Social Media Today gave information about people

                        who actively use Twitter. This source can thus be reliable to use in an

                        essay needing to display this statistic for credibility. I used this in my RIP

                        essay as a way to inform the reader how and why I used social media

                        within my Buzzfeed quiz.

Schrader, Paul. “Notes on Film Noir.” Film Comment, vol. 8, no. 1, 1972, pp. 8–13.

            http://www.jstor.org/stable/43752885.

                        This source relates the feelings of normal people living in the era of noir.

                        Because of this, it proved to be useful to quote within my rhetorical

                        analysis in the paragraph discussing how normal people could be

                        engulfed in corruption. I discuss this in further detail, but this source

                        provides the backbone for doing so.

Smith, Craig. "28 Amazing BuzzFeed Statistics." Expanded Ramblings. DMR, 21 Oct.

            2016. Web. 27 Nov. 2016.

                        This source gives detailed statistics on Buzzfeed. Some of these statistics

                        are random and unnecessary. Regardless, I made use of one particular

                        statistic that showed the age range of Buzzfeed users. I was then able to

                        relate this to some of the rhetorical choices I made in my RIP, which

                        reflect on in my RIP essay.

Snee, Brian J. “Soft-Boiled Cinema: Joel and Ethan Coens' Neo-Classical Neo-Noirs.”

            Literature/Film Quarterly, vol. 37, no. 3, 2009, pp. 212–223.

            http://www.jstor.org/stable/43797702

                        Brian Snee’s article is contained within Literature/Film Quarterly. The

                        information he provides is more relevant to movies, however its main

                        focus is noir. For this reason, it proved to a good source for the

                        introduction of my rhetorical analysis.

"Why Rhetoric?" The Anteaters Guide to Reading and Writing. Ed. Loren Eason. 5th ed.

            Irvine: U of California, Irvine, 2016. 9. Print.

                        This book is one of the requirements for Writing 39B. It discusses what

                        academic writing is and what components it should possess. I used this

                        source several times on written assignments; however, it is mainly used

                        throughout my eportfolio in areas where a specific component of

                        academic writing needs to be stressed.
