Research and Writing: One The OU Library Finding the criticisms I thought would be the easiest part of this process, but it actually served a few challenges. For starters, finding a place to park at Oakland University is seemingly impossible. Then, after trekking from our very distant parking spot to Kresge Library the fire alarms went off. Luckily, we ran into Ryan and Melanie who were also very frustrated with the fire alarm ordeal as we were forced to wait outside the library for about a half hour. Once we were finally allowed inside the library, the rest was easy; we got guest passes from the front desk so we were able to access the computer database search and then had no problems finding the criticisms themselves. I found and saved nearly ten different criticisms, all ranging in different content, author and length, which I decided I would sort through at home to decide which ones would work the best for me. What I struggled to find, and still am struggling with, is the background sources. For whatever reason, I cannot find anything on why Emily Bronte decided to write Wuthering Heights besides the few bibliographies that make only guesses themselves. I had to return to the library once more, just to take a picture, but other than that I have no complaints so far towards this process.
