3. Find Cultural Information

In addition to becoming familiar with the work you have chosen, you will need to learn more about the culture in which the work was written. When researching the culture consider things such as political, cultural and social environment.

Consider the culture of both your primary work and also the culture of your comparison work - The Analects or The Prince. How are they different from one another?

The following databases may have information on the culture related to your work.
