you will apply Gilbert’s beloved/notorious dichotomy to Shirley Temple and Judy Garland mentioned in the Gilbert scholarly article. First, you will do research to find interviews, performances, creative works, public events featuring one or both of the celebrities, speeches, interactions with the public and contemporaneous (of the era) newspaper and magazine articles. You will explore through analysis (describing and interpreting) these sources. Do not try to learn a lot of specific terminology for music, acting, public speaking, poetry, etc., but talk specifically about your observations. Following the Gilbert model, you must have similar points of comparison for both celebrities. For example, if you find a campaign speech for Clinton, then you must find a campaign speech for Reagan; if you find a live performance of Dylan, then you must find a live performance of Seeger. You should use Gilbert’s analysis of the beloved/notorious pair Bing Crosby/Frank Sinatra as something of a standard since Gilbert identifies Crosby and Sinatra as “the most complete exemplars” of the beloved/notorious dichotomy. Then, you will come up with a working (tentative) thesis (complex statement) which adds to the Gilbert argument, reframes it, or is a counterargument to it.
you will apply Gilbert’s beloved/notorious dichotomy to Shirley Temple and Judy Garland mentioned in the Gilbert scholarly article.
you should continue to explore Gilbert’s beloved/notorious dichotomy using one of Gilbert’s celebrity pairs.
For the Final Draft, you should continue to look for sources; you should have at least eight.. All sources must be from credible: reputable encyclopedias, reputable newspapers, reputable magazines, real TV series, interviews with reputable journalists, live performances, lists of songs, song lyrics from reputable websites, etc.
For the Final Draft, you should have a thesis (central claim) that adds to the Gilbert argument, qualifies it, or is a counterargument to it. Your thesis (central claim) should be a complex statement, not a list, not vague, not a question.
Your argument should be informed, interesting, and specific. Your claims should be well supported by evidence and logic (chains of reasoning). You should demonstrate critical thinking through the analysis of your sources. All points you make must explicitly develop your argument. It should be clear throughout your essay that you are developing the thesis in an argument.
You should follow Gilbert’s analysis of Crosby and Sinatra in that for given point you make, both celebrities should be discussed, and the focus should be equal for both celebrities; you should then move on to next point and continue this process. You should not discuss one celebrity more than the other.
Your Final Draft should be MLA formatted, including the header, line spacing, titles of sources in the text, parenthetical citations by page number for PDF texts like the Gilbert and by time for video and audio sources, and works cited. Your works cited should give the author(s), title, publisher, and URL for EACH source. NO SOURCE should be in your works cited if you have NOT cited it in your draft. ALL sources cited in your draft MUST be in your works cited.
