Day 2 Blog

Evaluation of website:
The author of this article is not stated however it is cited as being published by a Thompson Gale database. The cite is written for people who are familiar with literature and have a relatively good understanding of concepts which can be applied to an author's works. The publication is primarily factual, however there is evidence of a slight bias in the positive comments made about the Allende's writings. The author chose to include quotes from other reviews of Allende's books which are primarily analytical, however again with a slight favorable bias. There are extensive lists of further readings which lead me to believe that the website is well researched and the high quality of the writing also supports its credibility. The website was published in 2006 so it is as current as possible. There are no direct links on the web page however there are listings of additional sources about Allende as well as a list of her works. I would use this in my research because although the author is not directly listed, it was published by a respectable company. Also, there are no grammar mistakes or aesthetic elements which would lead me to believe that it is not from a reliable source. It is as recent as possible and the extensive listings of further readings convince me that the author has a significant amount of knowledge about the topic.
