What You Should Know About Literature Review
March 2nd, 2009What does literature review mean?—A simplest question that emerges in the minds of all students, in general, and those undergraduates, in particular, who have never been familiar with this kind of writing. Commonly, students are found to have wrongly understood that for this they are supposed only to simply write down their thoughts and opinions on a short story or a book. Though true, this needs a further clarification.
• The theme of your review can be on anything which may involve a poem or book of poetry, a group of literature such as Nineteenth-Century Literature, or even a government document.
There is also the misconception about writing a literature review. Here people make mistake by thinking that it is all about describing what happens in what they have read for the review—followed by expressing personal thoughts on the subject. Again, this thinking requires a clarification. What they think is only a part of writing process.
• Unlike what you write in the case of academic papers or other essays, here, you can freely choose the existing material.
• This is not just necessary, but you are actually encouraged to use literary review sample as per your chosen subject. You should search for many examples.
For instance, if your choose to write on the picture of Jesus as presented individually in Gospels of Mathew and that of John, then, you should find out sources focused on either exactly that subject or related to that subject. This will particularly help you to make out how other people arrived at their conclusions after proving their viewpoints. What are the differences in the pictures of Jesus as presented in The Gospel of Matthew and The Gospel of John?
• You can use any of the sources in the process of making thesis statement.
• For this you can explain why you find that those specific reviews or papers are wrong or misleading.
• The review ought to possess a thesis, just like in the case of academic papers.
• Here, you can say why either you agree or do not agree with a specific viewpoint, document, link, conclusion, etc.
• Your review structure will then include the proof from relevant source in connection to your saying.
• You can also avail of the treasure of literature review assistance that your professors will facilitate with many sources along with useful information.
Equally important is to be wise by not considering a subject which is too broad, enough to keep you writing a whole book! The literature is a very universal subject. You will easily find at least some hundreds of material already available or published on every topic that you may imagine. And, this does not mean that you should not put the old wine in a new bottle. In fact, you are recommended to do so wherever possible with your best ability, but within the rules and regulations. Remember that unlike the research papers, here for literature review, you are not supposed to find out new things—what you are being asked is to express your views with discussion on the existing points on the subject line.
