    FAQ:
    Remember to
    consider the
    parts of the
    What if there’s no journal article
    proposal in
    looking for
    about our modern context?
    sources ☺
    ANSWER:
    Since we are requiring 3 journal articles
    (1 for each member), you can search for
    journals that discuss the nature of your
    assigned sin (ex. motivations of man in
    doing the sin) and/or that analyze
    Dante’s Inferno (since you will discuss
    metaphors and there might be an
    analysis on the same metaphors that
    you’ve decided to discuss).
