assignment #9

Rodale, Robert. The Organic Dictionary. Emmaus: Rodale P, 1971

Garrett, Ruth Irene, and Rick Farrant. Crossing Over: One Woman's Escape from Amish Life. Harper Collins, 2003.

Sharp, Jamie. "The Amish: Technology Practice adn Technological Change." Shaw Creek General Store (1999).

I feel that these sources have helped me get a better grasp on what I want to write about in my research. I have a background information on the Amish of their culture and religion which will give me a good base seeing as my research topis is mostly the Amish culture with technology. Seeing as more people are turning "green" I will be comparing the lifestyle changes people are making to become more organic and healthy, which is one of the ways the Amish live. Then there is also a true story of an Amish women who left the Amish community to be on her own in the "real world." I feel that this story will help me get an idea that the Amish life isn't for everyone and what it does to the family when a family member leaves.
Overall, through researching come up with more things I want to talk about in my research and also more questions on when is it too much information and getting too broad. I still think my idea is the same on How the Amish culture choose to live with out technology and how other people are turning to their lifestyle such as with organic foods and farming.
