Asian Folklore

Maria Patricia Santos

This researched paper should be given a lot of time because you need to have a lot of resources and information in order to start with your paper. I would recommend starting at least 4 weeks before it is due in order to have enough time. As recommended by Professor Hicks, start off with part III because that's where all your research goes. I would also recommend using a lot of books and also the CSULA database for journal articles. Also, choose a topic that you are really interested in so you it can be more interesting and fun for you.

My topic is about the similarities and differences of Asian folklore. I found a lot of interesting books in the library about different folklores all around Asia. Here are the few books I used:
 
Faurot, Jeanette. Asian-Pacific Folktales and Legends . New York: Simon & Schuster, 1995.         Print.
Giskin, Howard. Chinese Folktales. Lincolnwood, Ill: NTC Pub, 1997. Print.
Also, most books on different kinds of folklores are located on the 2nd floor-Palmer North G section
If you are looking for journal articles the JSTOR database is really helpful for you to find one. Here are some of the articles I found:
Hammond, Charles. "Vulpine Alchemy." BRILL. 82. (1996): 364-380. Web. 30 May. 2012.          <http://www.jstor.org/stable/4528703>.
Riley , Nancy. "Interwoven Lives: Parents, Marriage, and Guanxi in China." National Council on Family Relations. 56.4 (1994): 791-803. Web. 2 Jun. 2012.   <http://www.jstor.org/stable/353592>.
