Research

We have all done research papers for how long now? I think doing research for a paper can be quite a difficult task in finding information that would fit correctly with the topic and to also make sense with the subject. I know when I had to do term papers in high school, we went through this whole process and went throught several steps in order to finish our papers. I remember having to search for several sources for my paper, and made sure not to plagarize. We had to make out note cards of what we were going to put in our papers from each source, and then we had to go incorporate it into the paper. It was very tedious and kind of stressing, because term papers were a big part of our english grade.

I think that we give credit to other authors in our papers because we want all the information possible to be able to show as much credible information to the reader, and not just ones opinion, but actual facts to back it up. It is important to know about the subject one is writing about, and that we reference to others work, and the research that they had done. I think it is important to do research and find other information because you always learn new things about what ever subject it is you are exploring.

Marilyn Monroe

The life magazine cover that I chose was the one with Mailyn Monroe on the front. When I first looked at this picture I thought of how famous and outrageous people thought she was in those days. I thought of how she wore that white dress and wind or some type of breeze or whatever blew up her dress and that was and still is a famous photo taken even today. I also think of the rumor that she was having an affair with John F. Kennedy. She was a beautiful, famous, wild child. What I noticed most about her picture was her eyes and how they are almost shut, like she did it on purpose to look inviting to whomever were to look at the picture. I believe that she was chosen to be on the cover of Life Magazine because she was famous for her movies and her extravagant life style. I think that this image portrays pretty close to how some of our magazine covers look today. Not quite as proactive I would say, but for its time I think that it is a suggestive photo. All in all I think its a great photo, and she is an icon and still will be talked about for years to come.
