Cursed research

I have never had trouble finding sources for research papers or projects until just this past week. I do have all my sources for my research project in Research Methods II now, but I'm not terribly happy with them. Now I'm having a terrible time finding sources for the research paper due for Literary Traditions on Monday. I thought trickster tales were a popular topic and that legends' basis in natural disaster was a well-recognized theory--not in any peer-reviewed journals though! Grrrr... this is so frustrating.
