Bigfoot
“Bigfoot.” Ancient Mysteries A&E. 1994.
This is a documentary on bigfoot in the Pacific Northwest of the US. It discusses evidence found such as footprints, hair, video, photos and audio. It talks about the past folklore about bigfoot and the phenomenon and followers today. It interviews an anthropologist and a cryptozoologist who research and believe in the possibility that a bigfoot exists. The documentary also interviews an anthropologist who is a skeptic. This is good because it isn’t all focused on one opinion or the other. The source is a good for my research because it introduces me to experts and evidence that I can research further.

Revised Annotated Bibliography
A&E produced this documentary using the work and research of Dr. Grover Krantz and Dr. Peter Byrns of the Bigfoot Research Project out of Mt. Hood, Oregon. Dr. Krantz and Dr. Byrns provide rather convincing evidence such as footprints, hair samples, video clips, photographs, and audio bytes that these researchers have accumulated. A&E interviews an anthropologist and crytpozoologist who have done extensive research in this field and believe in the possibility of a bigfoot. They propose that it is actually a descendant of Gigantopithecus blacki. A&E also interviews anthropologist John Crane who is a skeptic and provided evidence against such an existence. This provides a sense of impartiallity as the documentary allows both sides of the case to have their point of view presented. This work also served to provide me with many experts and their research which should prove usefull as a springboard for further research endeavors.

Are there any biases in this source? When was this source published? What is the rhetorical stance? -Aaron Mast
ReplyDeleteI think that the rewrite is very good as compared to the original! The sentence variety makes the annotation much more interesting than the first draft, as well as making the annotation sound more academic. The only question or comment I have is in the last sentence. Should you use "this work" to begin the sentence, and should you say "me"?
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to inform us about where it was published, the biases and the rhetorical stance.
