For my research paper I will be argue how Alzheimer's Disease in the Notebook is depicted versus what is the actual symptoms and outcomes in society. I have found many articles which helps support my thesis, and most were from the research speed dial. 

The first source I have found is intitled "Alzheimer's Disease as a cause of death in the United States by Donna L. Hoyert and Harry M. Rosenberg. It was found on JSTOR by me simply typing in Alzheimer's Disease. With this source I have found out some information, I wasn't aware of before that can be beneficial knowledge not only for my Research paper but as information to built my knowledge on things. With the title it gives you an idea of what this article is a bit about but of course doesn't give off all information. "It is nearly impossible trying to remember events ten years back, and has never happened with individuals within the Unites states" Donna L. Hoyert. This supports my thesis because this is what happened to Allie, she remembered her and Noah as a couple for a few minutes, and this creates a fantasy for some because in real life it has never happened.  Also my article gives you a background on the disease itself, the amount of years it's been in existence in the United States, and tells what scientist are doing to try and help the disease for senior citizens. I decided to choose this source and not others because I believed the quality of information was most valuable and the others sources I examined weren't enough information provided. Three prior articles I picked were only about two paragraphs long and it didn't give clear information to support my thesis as well.  

Alzheimer's Disease Alistair Burns and Steve Iliffe was my second source and what I found most interesting about this source was it compares two people that are living in Nursing homes with the actual disease. I felt this article would give me a better idea so that I will have the opportunity to compare a person in society versus Allie which is the person who has Alzheimer's in the movie. I received this article for the same database as well. I believe this article also provided a good amount of information, and it was detailed enough for me to understand what was going on. It wasn't too hard to read such as some scholarly sources and most importantly it supports my thesis so that I have the chance to use quotations from the article instead of just stating what I am reading about.

My topic is Portraying Human Minds in film and movie of choice is The Notebook. I have found found a few articles to support my thesis but not many. For the next milestone I will add the film as one of my sources and also find more encyclopedia and additional sources. The Research Speed Dial has helped as far as scholarly and journalistic articles but not with the ones I have listed that I need. I will be sure to not only use the internet or Research Speed dial as my database but hard copy books and newspaper articles as well.
