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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
