My ENG 103 Research Plan #1

My thesis for my research paper is:
Based on several sources, I will argue that despite an accurate portrayal of a character with Asperger's Syndrome in Max Mayer's film, Adam, there are some real distortions, especially in the movie's failure to display the social awkwardness people with Asperger's typically face. 

The two sources i really need to find is two movie reviews on "Adam". I have been searching on LexisNexis to try and find these sources that I'm missing. It has been difficult for me to find good sources on a film review because there are thousands of pages and the movie title is a very popular name and doesn't help narrow down the searches that come up.

  1. Good work on the thesis statement. That looks exactly right!

    For a NY Times film review, you can search directly in Google with these exact search terms: [adam 2009 film review site:www.nytimes.com].

    In LexisNexis, you can *search within result* with the director's name -- this will locate other film reviews.

    Hope this helps! You have an original topic. --Prof. Dragan
