Article Title: "Who Wrote Shakespeare The Authorship Candidates"
Article Link: http://www.nosweatshakespeare.com/who-wrote-shakespeare
Article Summary:There's always been a conspiracy that William Shakespeare has never actually written his own plays. Those who are believed to be the true author is as follows: Sir Francis Bacon, Edward de Vere, Christopher Marlowe, William Stanley, Roger Manners, and Mary Sidney Herbert. Some have similiar writing and ideas to Shakespeare plays. And others, specifically Mary, was a woman, and at that time a woman would have to use a fake male name in order to have their writing published.
Would This be a Sttong Source to Use in a Research Paper?: No, this comes from a blog, then again, it seems to be dedicated to only Shakespeare, so maybe.

Artical Title: "William Shakespeare: Biography".
Article Link:http://www.biography.com/people/william-shakespeare
Article Summary: Many scholars believe that what people say may be myths that people make up. They say that there are records that show something different. William Shakespeare wrote comedies and tragicomedies too according to the article. It Is shown that he was an entrepreneur as well as an artist. It Is said that he was inspired by Greene , Christopher Marlowe ,and Thomas Nashe. There is a lack of real evidence but doesn't mean Shakespeare was none existent. There is people who actual had an relationship with William and witnessed what happened however they haven't got solid information about the past with the records.
Would this be a strong source to use in a research paper? I think it would not be a strong source because the writer of this article questions himself or herself. They are not really sure if they are right. The article shows how there are many thoeries , myths ,and predictions made about William Shakespeare's life and works. They do not have solid evidence however they say he did exist. If someone is searching for only his marriage life , they would only find a little bit of information about that topic.

Article Summary: It reviews the main events in his life along with some other facts that I did not know about. It mentions that his father had been granted " a coat of arms" and that William had paid for the fees. Also it is divided by the different titles he earned. Later on it mentions his final years and what he left to his family and strange wishes he had left. Would this be a strong source to use in a research paper? This would be a good source for a research paper because the website is a trusted network that documents the life of other people that made a difference in society itself.

Article Title: William Shakespeare
Article Link: http://www.history.com/topics/william-shakespeare
The article is mainly about Shakespeare's young life, his older life, and the "lost ages" period of time in which no one knows about what Shakespeare did or what happened. It has a lot of facts like that his birthday is actually on the 26th of April and that he was forced into marriage to Anne due to pregnancy. It also talks about him not writing plays and someone using him as a cover and him maybe have collaborated with other writers. It also mentions some plays he's written and his sonnets and how they were about love, tragedy and comedy and how they had a lot to do with the human spirit and themes like love and hate. Lastly, it mentions that he is buried in a Stratford church where he has remained, however doctors want to take him out of the tomb to study him and perform an autopsy.
I do believe this is a credible resource and article to use in a research paper because it comes from the History company and they show and teach lot of educational things on tv and the internet.

Short Article Summary: William Shakespeare was born on England's Avon River in April 1564. Most of Shakespeare's life was then spent in the theater world of London. Furthermore, Shakespeare had success in playwright, actor, and shareholder in an acting company. The Martin Droeshout engraving and Shakespeare's memorial at Holy Trinity Church in Stratford are the only two images that are reliable in looking like Shakespeare. The Shakespeare Library has a replica of the Shakespeare's memorial bust.
This would be a strong source to use in a research paper because it has facts and was made by a university. Also, I feel like all the information it provided was true.
Short Article Summary (4+ sentences): The article is talks about how many poeple still remeber Shakespeare but doing his plays and memorizing them. It also talks about his famouse Globe Therater and the number of plays that he wrote. And how he is te person that has the most thearical works performed than other playwrights. And how the plays in the Globe Theater helped transformed the english language.
Would this be a strong source to use in a research paper? How do you know? Why or why not?
In my opinion this is a strong source for a research paper. I know this because it comes from the website History.

The article on William Shakespeare it states various key points like when he was born and when he was baptized. It also states the name of his wife and the name of his children. It states things like when he was growing up his plays first were comedies and histories. The article talks about his plays and also about his performances. This article is basically a bibliography about William Shakespeare's life. This piece wouldn't be realiable for a research paper because the website is wikipedia and anyone can change the information on the page.
Short Article Summary: It is unknown on the exact date on when Shakespeare was born, but is to believe that he was born on the 23rd of April, 1564. The life of Shakespeare is full of mystery and theory that people want to know the exact life of Shakespeare, but instead can only provide theories mainly. There have been some doubts about Shakespeare, including whether he has written all of the plays and sonnets or not. After his marriage, it is not 100% sure, but it seems that he has spent most of his time in London writing his plays. Shakespeare died in 1664, though it is not clear on how he died, but is suggested that he died from drinking.
Would this be a strong source to use in a research paper? How do you know? Why or why not?

Article Title: Happy Birthday, William Shakespeare... Maybe
Short Article Summary: This article talks about Shakespeare's 448th birthday. The author states that it could be his 448th birthday, if you believe that Shakespeare was born on April 23, since no one knows the exact date that he was born in. He also explain to the reader that there are festivals held all throughout Britain to celebrate Shakespeare's birthday.
I don't think this article would be a good source for a research paper because it doesn't really talk about much. It just says how old Shakespeare would've been if he was still alive, and it talks about festivals that are thrown by the British to remember Shakespeare's birthday.
This article talks about the life of William Shakespeare and his achievements. It also shows his date of both birth and death, his occupation, his time period, etc.
This article is not a credible source to use for the reason that it is Wikipedia. Another reason would be that it is known for people to change the information.
Short Article Summary: This article fairly shows the background behind William Shakespeare. In this article we see how William Shakespeare did not indeed write all he is credited for. A man named Bard published and wrote this things with out the consent of William. William was credited by the work but when indeed other conspiracies show otherwise. This article is another that shows the different conspiracies about William Shakespeare.
Would this be a strong source to use in a research paper? How do you know? Why or why not?
In my opinion this would be good a source to use but not a strong sources to use for a research paper. This article show the basics and a different conspiracy about William. This article would be a good one to use if you are researching about the different conspiracies.
This article talks about who he was as a person. It also talks about his family such as his father, mother, brothers, sisters, and children. It talks about what it may have been like to be him in his time. It talks about his education and what the article seems to refer to Wilkiam as The Bard. The biography explains how William experienced things like death and copy right.
Although this article seems a little too detailed to be talking about a mystery like Shakespeare it does give its resources such as court and church records and mariage certificates.

However little is known about his private life besides his work and acts on the Globe Theater. It is believe, that Shakespeare died at the same day he was born in 1616. But beyond that is no more.
In my opinion, this sources would be strong enough to include in a research paper. Due to the information it provides. Its information, talks more about its play and how it may connect to his private life. As well as people’s lives. Besides that it gives possible ways he might of lived his life and about his family.

Article Title: William Shakespeare
Article Link: www.BBC.co.uk/history/people/william_shakespeare
This article talks about his marriage, acting careers, play write, and his final years. How he got married at the age of 18 with his wife that is 26 named Anne Hathaway and the three kids he had but that one son hamnet died at the age 11. There was a time where Shakespeare was away from his family for about 20 years doing plays and sonnets. Since Shakespeare was known as a good actor it was easier for him to publish plays and books. It also says that he spent his last five years in New Place at Stratford and died in 1616 but unsure of the date.
I don't think this article is credible enough to do a research paper on because it is real short and simple. It gives the dates but it doesn't tell you everything about Shakespeare only the important parts but we do need to know everything. We need to know everything so that when we make a research paper the reader would know everything as well and will not ask questions.

Article Title: How Shakespeare Invented Teenagers
Article Link: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/27/magazine/mag-27Riffsidebar-t.html?_r=0
The article entitled "How Shakespeare Invented Teenagers," has to do a lot with one of his plays, Romeo and Juliet. The author discusses how Romeo and Juliet inspired what today is our adolescents and how Shakespeare was able to define adolescence early in its development. How the play also inspired laws today targeted towards minors. Now we see the play as juveniles falling in love and the acts as adolescent acts through his play Shakespeare created a new category in humanity.
I do not believe this article is credible enough nor does it have enough information because it was adapted from a book, to use for a research paper. The article is found on a credible website but the article does not include an author and was written two years ago so the information could have changed or updated. Therefore I would not use the informations on this article for a research paper, I would seek an updated version with an author and more information.

Article Title: William Shakespeare
The article William Shakespeare by Poetry Foundation mainly states William's early life when living in Stratford. The article then moves towards his life as an older man, and how there are yet to be solved mysteries to the many aspects of life. For instance, the article seems to express where and how Shakespeare might have gotten the ideas to many of his spectacular plays. Some say that he had a love interest with the Queen Elizabeth of England, and based many of his love stories on her. The article also mentions the techniques, William used and how it greatly impacted the english language today.
Can I say that this article is reliable, I believe so. Truly, I think the article has many detailed examples of many of his works, and how he portrayed the many kinds of techniques within those works of art. The article is lengthy, but I think that is great because it really gives of examples of his work and what they may represent.

In addition the article gives us specific detailing in how Shakespeare left a will and to who did all his fortune went to. It is said that he left the items that were in worse condition to his wife and that he left the good and valuable items to his children.

The article in question only goes to explain as to why it is a bad idea to produce a Shakespeare play. It lists reasons such as overuse and a hard ability to do so properly. The article does praise Shakespeare, but it is not so kind of the people who try to put him on for a play. Overall. the article loves Shakespeare, but isn't to fond of the fan base. This would not be a good source in almost any type of paper that is written about Shakespeare..

William Shakespeare was baptist on April 25. His father John was a farmer who then became a successful tradesmen and his mother was a gentry. William studied Latin at Stratford Grammar school and left the house at age 15. After three years he married Anne Hathaway and had 3 children by 1585. In 1592, he was an established actor and playwright in London though his career path was highly debated. After 6 years he became a greatest playwright in England that even the Queen went to the globe theater to see his plays being performed. They believe that Shakespeare died on his Birthday which was April 23 but his death was unknown.
Summary: In this article, it stays everything that has ever happened to William Shakespeare during his life. It talks about his life in theater and how it had made a big impact in his life. They do not know how exactly did William Shakespeare got involved in theatre ,but they think that he was the most important person in that group of performers. They also state that no one knows what he did before theatre but there is lots of prediction on what or who he was before he made a big impact.
In my opinion, this article would not be a source for a big research paper since it only says the basics of his life. Throughout the website, there is more information about William Shakespeare that would be a source for a research paper.

Short Article Summary- William Shakespeare was born in Stratford as the third of the eight children of his father. His father was a tenant farmer who was in debt in the late 1950s. Even though no records was found, it was likely that Shakespeare went to grammar school. It is also unknown if he finished or left his studies to go with his father. He married Anne Hathaway at 18-years-old but did not live with her throughout most of her life. Shakespeare moved back until he retires to live with his wife and his two children, disregarding Hamnet after his death, Susana and Judith.
This would not be a strong source since it only has about four articles out of the many that are read inn order to complete a research paper. It would really help though.
