It will give you the volume numbers and page numbers or the article you are looking for. C.

 * <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif;">TIPS **
 * <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif;">Look at the titles of the criticisms, the year published, and the number of pages to filter out inappropriate or irrelevant research material.
 * <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif;">Do not choose an author or a novel which does not have at least 7 scholarly criticisms as you will find yourself in trouble as you begin to gather and synthesize your research.
 * <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif;">Skim some criticisms and use these ideas to enhance the reading of your novel.
 * <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif;">Use the Citation Tools and save them in a file to make it easier to produce your Works Cited document.
 * <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif;">Note that the more adequate resources you have, the better equipped you will be to write your essay.
