1. Circle all of Ivanitss secondary sources.

2. Underline the quotes from secondary sources, as opposed to quotes
from Crime and Punishment (Prestuplenie i nakazanie, PSS).
Why does she use these quotes?
3. Which sentences give Ivanitss analysis, as opposed to ideas from
other scholars?
4. Which of the following are acceptable sentences for a paper? If a
sentence isnt acceptable, why? How could you fix it?
a. Dostoevsky felt that an outright statement of morality would
sound insipid, so he veiled it in symbol and metaphor.
b. Ivanits argues that Dostoevsky uses symbolism because direct
statements would sound insipid and platitudinous. (Ivanits
342)
c. Ivanits suggests that Dostoevsky uses symbols to conceal the
popular theme in Crime and Punishment. (Ivanits 342)
d. Ivanits agrees with Gibians analysis that direct statements on
the morality of suffering risk sounding insipid and
platitudinous. (Gibian 526-7, Ivanits 342)
e. Ivanits notes that lamenting in Crime and Punishment is public
and collective. (Ivanits 342)
f. Ivanits claims that Dostoevsky treats the popular tradition more
obliquely than the articulations of the environmentalist position
(which justifies eliminating useless members of society) and
the Napoleonic theory. (Ivanits 342)
