Some Resources for Sage!

All of these were found in the HBLL databases! (Also, I couldn't figure out how to get hanging lines on here, so the second lines of these citations are just spaced out. If you use any of them you might need to fix that--I just wanted them to look right here. And one more thing. I tried to make sure all of these are actually available, but some might only be in print format from the library itself. I'm not completely sure. So I apologize in advance if anything is inconvenient.)

Turim, Maureen Cheryn. Flashbacks in Film: Memory & History. New York: Routledge, 1989.

          Print.

This looks like it will be a very helpful resource in understanding why flashbacks (in film, but probably storytelling in general) are used and how they work in a psychological sense. 

Nalbantian, Suzanne. Memory in Literature: From Rousseau to Neuroscience. New York: Palgrave               Macmillan, 2003. Print. 

This is another very psychological approach to a similar topic, but focuses on memory rather than flashbacks. You talked a lot about memories (for example, Jason's) in your essay, and this might be helpful!

Bertine, Eleanor. Close Relationships: Family, Friendship, Marriage. Toronto: Inner City, 1992.                   Print. 

This could be super helpful for examining what Vivian lacked or didn't value, and why it might have helped her or ended up being very important to her. 

 Saitō, Tamaki, and Jeffrey Angles. Hikikomori: Adolescence without End. Minneapolis: U of                       Minnesota, 2013. Print.

This reference seems to focus on social isolation, which might allow you to analyse Vivian's state of mind similarly to how you would using the previous reference, but from the other side of the issue, basically.

Patel, Ramesh B. "Re-critiquing/Redefining the Nature of Death: A Study of John Donne's 'Death Be          Not Proud'" International Journal of Multidisciplinary Approach & Studies 2015: 261. Print.

And lastly, this! This one looks like it might be able to give a little more insight into the poem, and therefore into the mindset that Vivian Bearing was so burdened with trying to understand, which in turn may help you with whatever your other subjects are. 

I hope these are okay!
