reflecting on my Proposal
Over all I was satisfied with my proposal. My life is filled with music, not one day goes by where I’m not listening to music. I wake up to music on my alarm, put it on in my car on the way to school, listen to my cd’s between classes, music during homework, radio on to fall asleep. But up until this class I never sat down and THOUGHT about how music is entertwined in life, reflecting culture, politics, religion… This proposal “opened my eyes” to how I actually feel about the music I listen to and the reasons behind why I relate to the artists I enjoy listening to countless times on repeat.
As far as further research and improvement goes I’m looking forward to expanding on my ideas with the Cover art for Elton John and politics from the time period. As well as including more examples of terrorism and the war in the lyrics for Yellowcard. I think that my main focus for improvement and expansion lies in my personal reflections and antecdotes. I need some aspect in my writing to enclose and wrap up my thoughts and connections into one tight bundle. I want my readers to understand what I’m trying to get at… the big “what and why” statement.
I’m very excited to see my final project come together… I hope that I will be able to sort through all my ideas and combine them into a great paper.
