Write an approximately 1-3 page paper

Write an approximately 1-3 page paper based on your research on your text and/or topic. Consider the role rhetoric plays in it or how it is constructed to influence. Your research should include the following:

a) An explanation of the significance of your topic/artifact. If I were researching American Idol, for example, I would find research that indicated how many people watch the show each week, how many seasons it has been on, how many awards it has won, and what its impact on popular culture has been.

b) An explanation of what others (especially scholars) have said about your topic. Some have said, for example, that American Idol perpetuates consumption due to its frequent product placement, while others have said it promotes democratic participation.

For this paper, you should integrate this research to construct an argument as to why your topic is an important one to study and what the purpose of your original research is by using your research to:

a) Explain the significance of your topic,

b) Explain what others have said about it, and

c) Explain the purpose of your original research, i.e., what you hope to find out as a result of your original research.
