Literature Review is Rocett Science

You know what is rockett science?

No. I'll tell you what it is for me.

It's writing a literature review!!!

I am looking at the 25-30 resources I've read in the last few days to be able to write an analysis of literature that relates to all of the things I've studied over the past 2+ years, and what will shape my remaining work (writing a thesis) and I AM FROZEN by THIS PAPER. It's as if Einstein just walked in with a newly formulated theory of relativity and handed me his work to see what I thought. First of all. How would I know what to say to Einstein? and Second of all. I'm a social scientist, and I would be the last person in the world to understand what to do with a physics theory. So you see my problem....
