Hey everybody! I came here for some help. For my history class at school, we've been assigned to write a research paper about anything that has happened but we have to prove something about it. I decided to write about Shannon's life from beginning to end. I am having trouble coming up with something to 'prove' for the paper. If anyone has any ideas for what to prove or any other suggestions, it'd be a lot of help in order to get me started! Can't wait to hear what you all think. Thanks, Lauren

Yeah that's exactly what I've been using for my information. I've read the book over and over, I just don't know what idea I should control my paper about in the terms of a thesis because I do have the information, it's just the essence of putting all of the information about his life under one idea, for something to prove. Thank you for the help, and if you think of any other ideas, let me know. Thanks again!!

Well, what direction to you want to write your paper in? A person starting from nearly nothing, to a person having it all? Or, the "addict" perspective, and the downfalls?

Do you have Letters from a Porcupine? That may help, as well as Behind the Music.

Yeah, I have both.. I think I've got my focus down now for talking about his life as a whole and not focusing merely on the negative aspects. Thanks for your help

Good luck! I'm sure we'd like to read the report when you are done (if you want to share it!).

i have been thinking about this. you have probably already wrote the paper, but if you have not, maybe you should prove that having fame, money, and all the material possessions you want will not necessarily make a person happy.
i think many people can relate to this, popular or not.
