The text I will be focusing on for my essay would be the album “Twenty88” by Jhene Aiko and Big Sean. With my analytical research paper, I will be discussing the partial reality of couples forced into the spotlight. Jhene Aiko and Big Sean create a story-like album that highlights the ups and downs of relationships forced into the public eye. There is the continuous push and pull between the characters where they loop in acts of being petty, angry, and passionate. I was inspired while noticing more celebrity-based couples with more information out in the open are less likely to last as long as those who stay low key. It also becomes clear as to the fact they are only in a relationship for the sole purpose of entertainment as they are being controlled by a robot-like being. At the same time, you have relationships set up for marketing purposes. As time progresses, we see less evidence for true love. It becomes more likely to notice relationships made solely for the reason of publication. Jhene and Big Sean play the role of a Hollywood couple who remains under the constant public eye and struggle to communicate with one another. They resemble the now highly favored “toxic relationship” where they are unhealthy for one another but choose to stay. With this album being 4 years old, today’s relationships now relate to one of each 8 songs on the duo album. I’ll be doing more research. As to how toxic relationships are now over-hyped under the wrong pretense as well as how it related to the storyline of this album “Twenty88.”

The Text I have chosen for my focus on the analytical research paper is “The Gettysburg Address” by Abraham Lincoln. The speech given by president Lincoln focuses on slavery and how the act of slavery should be abolished in order to keep the American nation thriving in the future. Thesis statement: The fallen soldiers of the American revolution shall not be forgotten and the only way forward as a nation is to move forward and the only way to respect their constitution is to abolish the act of slavery.

 

My main concern for my essay regarding the major points I would like to address would be the reason president Lincoln had given the speech and the impact it had given amongst the American people. The spark for further research regarding would be the interest regarding how the speech affected the lives of the individuals fighting during the civil war and president Lincoln’s goal of achieving unity within the southern states and the union. I came up with the thesis by analyzing the meaning behind president Lincolns words and his political goal of unity within the country. The thesis statement pushed the solution of American equality by reflecting on the founding fathers morals. I plan to explore the statement in my research by analyzing the reasoning behind the seceding of the southern states from the union and why it was such an important aspect of American history. I would look into the accounts of slavery and how the abolishment of slavery bettered the system we live in today.

The text that I will write is about a movie titled “Like stars on earth”. Thesis statement: Children who tend to have problems or challenges in their lives need to be understood and receive the full support from people especially their parents.

The reason why I chose this movie is because this one of the emotional and morale teaching movie ever. It is about a little boy named Ishaan who had a disease called dyslexia, which made it difficult for him to read or interpret words, letters and other symbols thus always failed his text and quizzes. He was very playful and that always got him into trouble in school with his teachers. Colors and art was one thing that Ishaan loved and was very good at. His brother Yohan on the other hand was a brilliant kid who passed all his tests and quizzes. This angered their dad even more because he could not understand why Ishaan kept failing his exams while his brother always passed his. Ishaan’s mum and dad did all they could do in terms of speaking to the headmaster to try and have extra classes for Ishaan to try and improve his grades. Unfortunately Ishaan’s dad lost patience with him and decided to send him to a boarding house. His dad got so furious with him and termed him as “a useless kid”. This left Ishaan totally devastated and barely spoke a word in his new boarding school. He was always in tears as he felt abandoned by his parents.

Ishaan had a new teacher in a few weeks time named Prof Ram. He was an Arts teacher filled with so much charisma. He was someone who always helped kids with disabilities and just loved to help kids. He soon noticed Ishaan’s sadness in class and decided to find out more about Ishaan. He soon found out Ishaan was a very great artist and painter which even excited him even more because he saw his self exactly in Ishaan. He too had the same disease and was also a great painter. He decided to personally help and teach Ishaan to read and write and help him discover his hidden potential which was painting. A painting competition was later organized in which Ishaan won and was finally recognized by everyone. Fortunately Ishaan passed his final exams and his parents was then invited to the school. His dad was left in so much shame with himself and tears after he found out his son Ishaan’s artwork ended up as the back cover of the school’s magazine and also passed his exams.

I want parents to always show full support in their kids in their difficult times because kids who don’t get enough attention, love and support end up become devastated and timid all the time which is not good for a child at such a young age. The last thing a child needs is to feel left out and unloved by his parents and people. Some people and kids have so many problems and difficulties, such people should be understood and helped not shun instead.

The texts I have chosen to focus my analytical research paper on is My Cat Yugoslavia and Crossing, both written by Pajtim Statovci. The books focus on the social issue of gender identity and sexuality.

Thesis Statement: Children from traditional households face pressure from parents when they do not fit into traditional gender roles.

While writing my analytical research paper, I look forward to addressing the major issue children have been facing concerning gender identity and sexuality. It is common that for many years, children fear and do not have the potential to reveal their identity and sexuality to their family because it is forbidden in most cultures and traditional households. Both books, My Cat Yugoslavia and Crossing highlights many key ideas about a young gay male that was afraid to reveal who he really is and what he feels due to his conservative culture. Out of all social issues that are going on in this world, one of the major reasons as to why I chose to do further research on this topic is because many individuals that come from different cultures still face discrimination and there are still many families that do not understand and do not believe that their children can be LGBTQIA. I came up with my thesis by putting together the major points and themes in both books. While both books share the same theme; traditional cultures will suppress countless children who struggle with revealing their true identity. These children may experience depression and misery. In this analytical research paper, I plan on making my statement clear by breaking down the main reasons and providing backup details to make my thesis statement valid. I also plan on making an entrancing argument by providing examples and persuasive reasoning.

The text I have chosen to use in my Analytical Research Paper is, “The Hate U Give” by, Angie Thomas. Thesis Statement: The issues of police brutality and injustice people of color are faced with.

While writing my Analytical Research Paper, I hope to address the issues people of color, mainly African Americans face. “The Hate U Give” highlights many key ideas on how people of color are faced with police brutality and injustice. This book showcases how people of color are protesting for justice for Khalil’s death. The Black Lives Matter Protest inspired me to do further research on the problems people of color face and why it’s so important they protest. “The Hate U Give” is similar to The Black Lives Matter protest, hence why I chose that text or book. The thesis statement highlights the key ideas the book addresses or is based on. Having a thesis statement is important because it gives the reader an idea of what the research paper is going to be based on. Your thesis statement can also help organize your research paper or any paper. For example, it can plan out your body paragraphs and what each body paragraph is based on. In my research paper, I plan on exploring my statement by analyzing the ideas and providing enough textual and outside information to help back up my thoughts or statement. This research paper is going to challenge me to go more in-depth on how people of color experience police brutality and injustice in America.
