This is a research paper/essay on Joyce Carol Oates. In this paper we are to discuss changes in her non-fiction literary style from her earliest works to her most recent. We are supposed to refer to when her first non-fiction article was published and when her most recent article appeared. Then we are to give examples from them or other non-fiction works of hers that show changing trend in her literary style over time. We also have to cite the examples we use from her works and make comments on the examples we give. In particular, we are supposed to look at whether Oates has become more “Literary” or “journalistic” in her writing over time. We must have a bibliography of all works cited.
