[ORDER SOLUTION] Protest music historical essay
Chose any protest song you want, from the entire time period of US history we cover (including the present), and write A COMPLETE historical essay on it. You want to be sure that you pick a song that is one to which you can relate historical details from our readings in some way. That means, first of all, that it fits into the time frame of 1877-present and that it is a primary source document from American history. But also, if its a current song about current events, that means, that you should be sure you can match those current issues and events to earlier themes, issues and events from our study of US history and shed a deep light on the songs lyrics from an historical perspective. If you choose a current or very recent song, then you will have to make sure you include all the relevant background historical details and specifics that relate to whatever aspect or theme of US history the song relates to and which we’ve studied (world war one, Spanish American war, world war two, Korean War, Cold War, Vietnam war, etc) : that means that, for instance, if you choose a current or recent song related to the historical theme of civil rights, then, in addition to going over the current events that relate to that song, you must also bring in the relevant background material we’ve covered pertaining to the theme of civil rights. You main goal here is to demonstrate you know relevant historical knowledge and can effectively explain it, along with details, facts, dates, etc; the song itself and you explaining what it says. your essay must have an introduction paragraph, at least one paragraph for the body and a conclusion paragraph. The introduction must effectively introduce the documents being examined, as well as establish a main analytical point for your historical essay on the primary source. These are NOT descriptive essays. Make sure that you explain the specific historical context of the song in the intro (when it was written, by whom and what specific historical issue it was written about) and establish a main point there for your essay based on your analysis of the song. Work out and explain what specific historical issues it is engaging and analyze how it engages those issues by examining specific lyrics from the song. there are certain songs which have been done so much that they have been permanently retired from our assignment (see below)..
