When I was doing my research I mainly used the Jstor website as my source in finding readings and articles that correlated with my research question, I also used google scholars but some articles I wasn’t able to get full acess to or if not it would take me right back to Jstor. I started off by only searching for the title of the first novel we read and then I narrowed it down to using key words within my research of social inequalitiies and community. I wanted to try to see if I could find some stuff that was about the recent novel Ben Lerner 10:04 but I was honestly having a difficult time when I tried searching, but i will keep an open mind with all the novels and try to continue in searching what I can.
