Who am I?

Do some research on the author of your text. Find out what else they’ve written, sung etc (if you are doing a film look at the director). Next find out anything you can about their lives, their backgrounds, their political beliefs or passions. Try to locate the information in more than one source to confirm its validity. Once you’ve located this information consider how you might use this to help to talk about the author’s ethos in the text you are using for your paper.

On your blog write in a 300 word entry NOT about you found but the process you went through to find that information. Where did you look, and why did you decide to look where you looked. What were some of the advantages and disadvantages to looking the place you did?

This is due on Friday February 22nd by 11am.

Ps. Feel free to use anything you find to help you in discussing the author’s ethos briefly in your paper, just don’t go overboard and remember to always cite your sources!
