Preface-
Research is something I always dreaded in the past. I found it boring, the topics were never ones I've chosen, and there was a lot of reading involved. That was back in middle school though, it's a different story when I was in high school. I had a great English teacher, Mrs. Kristy, who taught me the importance of research, and having to read information about said research. Even though at times when I'm writing a research paper, I would still not find it fun, I would complete with no complaint.
Now that i'm in the English Composition I course at Delaware county community college with Sabatino, I actually find the research project we're working on fun. My professor allows us to really have control, the agency I love that word, to choose what our research will be on. And how we're going to present our project. If you ask me, when someone gets to choose their own project, It makes it more personal for a lack of a better word. Though I find this assignment difficult, I can't wait to see how it turns out.
In blog ten exploring American zeitgeist, it was time for me to choose a zeitgeist and if too broad of a topic, narrow it down by answering some questions. I struggled on how I would attack my topic, fame. I mean, it's pretty broad. But then I chopped it down to the YouTube platform. In blog eleven fame fever, I will be setting down the building blocks that will aid me in completing this assignment. Down below, are my drafts for the research project.
