ALSO WE HAVE TO WRITE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHIE: what the heck!!! HAHA this MIGHT HELP OUT a lil bit ON EXCATLY WHAT IT IS!!!
An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.

Creating an annotated bibliography calls for the application of a variety of intellectual skills: concise exposition, succinct analysis, and informed library research.
First, locate and record citations to books, periodicals, and documents that may contain useful information and ideas on your topic. Briefly examine and review the actual items. Then choose those works that provide a variety of perspectives on your topic.
Cite the book, article, or document using the appropriate style.

Here is a Sample i found... FOR A JOURNAL ARTICLE(ummm... Cornell University Library)
The following example uses the APA format for the journal citation. NOTE: APA requires double spacing within citations.
Waite, L. J., Goldschneider, F. K., & Witsberger, C. (1986). Nonfamily living and
the erosion of traditional family orientations among young adults. American Sociological Review, 51, 541-554.
The authors, researchers at the Rand Corporation and Brown University, use data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Young Women and Young Men to test their hypothesis that nonfamily living by young adults alters their attitudes, values, plans, and expectations, moving them away from their belief in traditional sex roles. They find their hypothesis strongly supported in young females, while the effects were fewer in studies of young males. Increasing the time away from parents before marrying increased individualism, self-sufficiency, and changes in attitudes about families. In contrast, an earlier study by Williams cited below shows no significant gender differences in sex role attitudes as a result of nonfamily living

Framing Class, Vicarious Living, and Conspicuous Consumption (P.334)

In this article Dianna Kendall talks about the portrayals of life in different social classes of what is real and what is not real. She starts off by talking about the one of many examples that demonstrate how class is played for laughs by the media in the tv show the simple life..... A well watched show staring two well-known rich heiresses( Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton) trying to make a living in the not so glamerous life by living with the less fortunate. We see how they live ,and what they wear by watching all these reality show.We believe that we need all the high end fashion and glamerous cars, houses and shoes. This lifestyle of the poor & unfamous is puttin many in debt! People think we need to live a certain way by what the media shows us. On page 342 Kendall talks about what percentage of the nations wealth.. aaaand a whoppin 90% of households only own 28% of the nations wealth! That would be most of us :/ ugh,That's crap... Do the rich just get weathier and the poor stay poor? Is it crap how some people work their butt off to try and make all dem money & some are just born into wealth. Will this change? Or will we just finally relize that we are not in the class of the rich & famous and buy things within our means?
