 * Professor, below each source, we are going to asnwer the questions: **


 * ARRIGUCCI JR, Davi. //Humildade, paixão e morte: a poesia de Manuel Bandeira//. São Paulo: Compahia das Letras, 1992 . **

a) We think that this text is relevant to the essay we plan to write as it is about Bandeira's "delicate health" and how this problem affected his poems and his work in general.

b) We do agree with this source because it is possible to notice our point of view in this text.

c) We think this source is good for us to create a critical thinking and develop some other own ideas. On the other hand, we can use Bandeira's poems to exemplify our statements.

d) Not yet.


 * ALVES, J. P. M. __Aspectos da imanência transcendente de Manuel Bandeira.__ Available in: < [] > Access in september 29th 2011. **

a) As we have written before: "The poetic speaker accepts death as a natural process for us human beings. By doing this he even makes fun of his situation of sickness. We can see that death is a commom issue in Bandeira's poems and that the theme is closely related to his life. This is the main point in our essay."

b) As we have already discussed, we all have the same point of view, we do agree.

c) We can complement by using the other selected sources.

d) No.


 * MIRANDA, Antonio. __Modern Brazilian Poetry, an Anthology__. Available in: < [] > Access in september 29th 2011. **

We do not think that in this part we should answer the questions above because in this source we can find some of Bandeira's poems translated into English, in order to exemplify our statements. As the text is written or will be written in English, it is very important to have the poems in the same language, English.


 * UOL Educação. Poeta Brasileiro: Manuel Bandeira. Available in:  Access in october 06th 20.**
