Progress

My project 2 has had a pretty frustrating start. I couldn't narrow down what I wanted to do. I was in this ambiguous idea of music, Tupac, Malcolm X, modes of communication thing. After talking to my teacher I finally decided I would be doing a rhetorical analysis of both Tupac and Malcolm X. My research thus far has included a few sorces my teacher gave me and then saturating myself in both Tupac and Malcolm X. I downloaded a few of Tupac's albums and a few of Malcolm X speeches. I have been emersing myself in them. I listen to them in my car constantly. I want to first just listen to the music and speeches without delving deep into them. I want to look for trends and themes I see consistantly in both, and find where they differ as well. I am looking for thread of unity and split ends.
My plan is to start dedicating my time on Monday and Wednesday after class and before my next class at 3. Everyday after class just spend that hour and half working on the project. Whether thats research on my topic or getting on the JUMP website and researching that as well. I want to understand their audience, time period, culture, similarities, and aspects of logos, pathos, and ethos. I'm going to rent out my friends camera over Thanksgiving break and capture all my film that weekend and begin to piece together my final project. I honestly haven't decided if I want to conduct interviews. That is an aspect I need to discuss and develope further. This is a topic I think can be really interesting and I'm passionate about so the research aspect hasn't been very difficult for me at all.
