Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Briilcrockett, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Notes
[edit]Hi! I have some notes for you and your group:
- I added an infobox to the article for you and added some basic information.
- With the plot, we only need a general synopsis as opposed to a chapter by chapter synopsis.
- Keep in mind that we can only summarize what other people have stated about the book in reliable sources. We cannot make our own interpretations, connections, or theories about it, nor can we draw connections between the book and any other sourcing unless the source specifically mentions the book. The article looks to be entirely the group's own interpretation of the book and is backed up by sourcing that doesn't actually cover the work in question. This is one of the largest differences between Wikipedia and other types of writing, to be honest.
- Now that said, a context and background section is fine and some of the sources for this section don't necessarily have to mention the book, as it's discussing the historical context at the time the book was published. I would recommend though, that the section have more information about the author's background and what he was doing at the time, similar to sections like this, this, and this.
This is pretty much it for now - the main thing to focus on is the original research at this point in time. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:55, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
