Does the research paper require you to cite the opinions of others? If you really want to quote someone, search for professional book reviews or critical analyses.
moorepocket
it has to be a personal interview. And the teacher said it could be anyone who knows her and her works...

It's due tomorrow.

help!!

OKay..

Well, I feel that although Amy Tan does seem to portray quite decently the life of an asian (chinese) child growing up in the U.S., I don't think that she truly understands. Since she's lived in the U.S. all her life, it doesn't seem as if she could see it in the eyes of someone who has lived outside the U.S. and then move in.
moorepocket
can you said something about her books?

I knew that I had heard that name before, and then I remembered I was reading about it in Barnes & nobles the other day,

I know this may be a really stupid idea, but if you want other peoples' opinions on a book just go to Amazon and look at the reviews, summarize the person's thoughts into 2-3 sentences, and use the name of the person. It's not any more or less credible than the opinions you get from people on Createblog:

^ It's like my school. My school has those machines that can tell whether the research papers are plagiarized from CliffNotes etc.
