Country Singer Johnny Cash Music Essay Assignment

You are to write an essay of 5 typed pages which identifies why the subject is important and discusses his/her life and work briefly. It should include quotes, and follow the essay form. (5 or more sources; thesis tells importance; discuss music you listened to.) For this assignment you will need to choose a musician/composer, research him/her, listen to the music of the individual, and put it all together in an essay. In terms of the music that you listen to, it is important to be familiar with several pieces/songs/albums of the subject. Try to listen to several points in their careers. The music you listen to and write about must be listed on your work cited page. You can quote from “liner notes”. I want you to place the piece/song in the context of the career of the subject and also write a paragraph that gives your own feelings about the music. In this section only can you use the “I” pronoun. On every assignment I will give you what the main idea should be– so in music it is why the composer or player is important.

Essay writing guidelines for comp II.

The following are guidelines you are to follow in the construction of these essays. Your ability to construct essays successfully will have a bearing on your grade. I will not only be looking at your ideas. In order for you to get a good grade in this class you will have to do the THREE FORMS successfully (essay, quote, work cited forms). You should construct your essays exactly as to the rules which follow.

Here are some errors that occur regularly….that I am hoping you will not make!
Do not plagiarize. If you copy and paste from the web the ‘originality report’ will tell me what you took and where it came from. If you do not notate/quote it correctly, you will receive an F for the paper. Please be aware of this.

How to use the web without getting an F? You can quote the passage correctly–see form below, or you can read the info, put it in your notes in your own words, then rewrite it–again in your own words. That way, the information will be in the paper but the words will be yours. You do not need to cite historical info, but if you take someone’s idea from a source, you need to cite it at the end of that section. But again, if you use their words without quotes, you are plagiarizing…..which is unacceptable. To quote a passage successfully from the web, see the Quote section below.

Please do your works cited page as instructed below. It may be different than what you find elsewhere, especially on websites. The only correct way to do the works cited, as far as this course is concerned, is stated below.

Read the assignment pages carefully….if you pick something not on the lists there, you need to clear it with me. (On the history paper you need to narrow the topic as much as possible. ‘The civil war’ as a topic is too broad and is unacceptable. A battle from that war is ok. Get the idea?) (On some papers–art/music–you will write biographical paragraphs. All body paragraphs must begin with a topic sentence–a sentence that identifies the point of the paragraph clearly and links back to the thesis. You can do this on bio paragraphs by included the overall subject, such as music or art…..that will create a link to thesis. So for instance: Pablo Picasso was born in Spain. …is not a good topic sentence. But—Pable Picasso was born in Spain and from the beginning was surrounded by art that would later influence him. ….is a good one. See the difference?
Always begin your paper with an interesting title—it may contain the subject, but it needs to be more—-do not use Film Paper as a title!

Introduction: This is the first paragraph of your essay. It is best to begin your essay with a sentence (or sentences) that get the interest of the reader without identifying clearly the subject you are writing on. This section is called the “Hook.” After you get the reader’s interest then identify the subject and give some general information about it. This should be about three or more sentences in length. Finally, the last sentence of this paragraph should be your thesis. The thesis is important because it spells out the main idea of your essay. All the body paragraphs which follow hinge on this sentence because those paragraphs will attempt to prove the thesis. The first paragraph, like all following paragraphs, is usually five or more sentences long.

Body Paragraphs: The body of the essay is made up of paragraphs which represent proofs which convince the reader that the thesis is correct. The first sentence of each body paragraph should spell out clearly the point that is to be covered in the paragraph (this point, in turn, should help prove the thesis). This sentence is called the Topic Sentence. (Note: Even biographical paragraphs need to begin with a topic sentence. To do this, add the overall concept word–such as music or art–into the first sentence of the paragraph discussing the bio material–such as, Johnny Cash was born in Arkansas and from the beginning was surrounded by music that would influence his biggest hits.) After clearly identifying the point, the rest of the paragraph goes into detail proving and illustrating the point. (Here is where your quotes will be placed.) THESE PAPERS ARE NOT PLOT SUMMARIES. DO NOT SIMPLY RETELL WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FILM, NOVEL etc.. Use the plot to illustrate your ideas. At the end of the body paragraph (you will have several of these each covering points you want to make), you should round off the point and give the reader a feeling that this point is complete and another is to follow. You will then be ready to begin the next body paragraph.

Note: When you are writing on a famous person, do not just use their first name…unless you know him/her personally!

Conclusion: The last paragraph of your essay is the conclusion. No new information will be found in this paragraph. (Note: If you are discussing an individual and want to cover his/her death, do not do so in the conclusion. Cover that information in the body section.) The first sentence should restate the thesis/main idea. The next part will review the main points that you have made in the paper. The last section should leave the reader with an interesting thought, question, quote etc.

IMPORTANT SENTENCES: last of intro, first of body paragraphs, first of conclusion
