My+chosen+topic

Topic proposals due Friday 2/11:

What topic have you settled on, and why? My topic is going to be Mark Oliver Everett, frontman and founder of the indie rock band Eels. I am reading his autobiography now, and it's incredible. This guy has survived so much, and I find it heart warming and touching that what saved his life was his passion- music.

For what audience(s) and purpose(s) might you design this project? My audience is anyone who wants to learn about a man against the world, and how his passion saved his life. I am not trying to persuade or make a specific point with this project. I just want to tell the story of one of my recent idols, in hopes that it will mean as much to others as it has to me.

What sources might you draw on? What genres might you use to represent your work? Mark Oliver Everett's autobiography, "Things the Grandchildren Should Know",is going to be the main source used for my work.

Genres may include : quotes from this book that were memorable to me, a cd cover of his, a few songs he has wrote, a bumper sticker, a diary entry, etc.
