How to search

Database searches work differently than a Google search. Do not type in your entire question. Instead enter the keywords from your topic or question.

ex. How is the American dream represented in the The Great Gatsby?

Keywords to enter into the database: "The Great Gatsby" and "American dream"

Place phrases in quotations marks if they need to be side-by-side.
