K. Chopin & T. Williams Compare Contrast Help

[beavers333]

Hello everyone, first post here.

I am doing a research paper on the autobiographical elements used by Chopin & Williams. For Chopin, I am studying mainly her short stories such as Desirees Baby, the Storm and The Story of an Hour. For Williams, I am mainly going by The Glass Menagerie and A Streetcar Named Desire.

Basically, any help with sources for the autobiographical elements used in their writing.

Thanks in advance. ;)

Well yeah, not exactly what I was looking for though.

Ive milked Google for pretty much all its worth.

Than perhaps try a library, or a book? I know many major critics have written about both. There are anthologies edited by Bloom on each of those writers, in addition to select essays written on specific works.

I know for a fact sparknotes and whatnot have written on these works. Not to mention the fact that there are hundreds of biographies online of Williams in particular, and Chopin. But, of course, you come to the boards and ask us. I'm flattered, but I'm as lazy as you are. Go google your own project.

Why do you assume that I have not tried books or libraries? I dont think I implied that. I simply wanted to see what others came up with that I may be missing.

You didn't ask that. You asked for help with sources. Meaning, you haven't done your research, meaning you are caught at your own lie. You didn't ask for opinions, you asked for help finding sources dealing with autobiographical elements. If you had done your research, you would have had the sources required, and therefore not asked the question.
