Paper instructions:
The essay instruction PDF file uploaded here. And you MUST READ AND FOLLOW EVERYTHING THAT REQUIRED IN THE INSTRUCTION, because our professor will just grade based on this. And there are three option topics that you can pick to write in this essay as said in the instruction. But I want you to choose Music Celebrity and write about Micheal Jackson in this topic since I am a hiphop dancer in my real life and MJ will be more related to me. and I hope you can write more about MJ who has a great impact on my life and my inspiration of dance. So in the instruction of this topic should be:

Music Celebrity
What is the economic value of fostering celebrity within the music industry? Choose a music celebrity.
What is her or his current star text? How has this been shaped by promotion and publicity? Filter her or
him through our conceptualization of stars as phenomena of industry and of audience. Does one
interpretation work better than the other? In what ways does this celebrity’s star text differ from her or his
previous incarnations? Were there motivations behind this change?

And our professor provided us some reading and data to research and use for support our topic. I will send you the links and lists later. Since this is the midterm essay of the UC and its my major course I hope you can do it perfectly and PLZ NO COPY AND PASTE from any resource or internet and YOU MUST CITED EVERYTHING YOU HAVE USED OR QUOTES. And please answer those questions from your own perspectives in detail. Thanks and appreciated.

Genre Mutation

on  two  particular  case  studies  from  the  same  genre.  How  do  they  represent  your  argument?  Have the
mutations you described impacted popular perception of the genre?
G RADING C RITERIA:

An “A”  paper fulfills all the requirements of the assignment with exceptional quality. It will have consulted
numerous  sources  appropriate  to  the  topic  and  will  use  evidence  from  that  research  to  make  thorough
and well – reasoned arguments. The essay will be free  of spelling and grammatical errors and be organized
in a way that allows claims to build on one another.  Most importantly, it goes beyond the essentials of the
assignment in its insight and originality, displaying effective and precise thought and composi tion.

A  “B”  paper fulfills all the requirements of the assignment with good quality. It will respond to every part
of  the  prompt,  adequately  consulting  several  appropriate  sources.  The  essay  will  be  reasonably  free  of
spelling or grammar mistakes, and al l the requirements on the prompt will be met. The essay will convey
an argument and be well  executed on the whole, but it might be improved by more specific details and
examples, a wider variety of sources, better organization, or greater argumentative nuance.

A  “C”  paper fulfills some to most of the requirements of the assignment with fair quality. It  will adequately
describe the topic, but fall short of using the research to forward a clear argument. Sources consulted will
be  relevant,  but  may  be  sparse  and/or  unreliable.  The  paper  may  provide  a  good  deal  of  interesting
information,  but  may  la ck  the  organization  needed  to  provide  purpose  and  direction.  It  may  also  fail  to
address parts of the prompt, and it may contain significant spelling, grammatical, or factual errors.

A  “D”  paper  does  not  fulfill  most  of  the  requirements  of  the  assignment. The writing is generally poor,
with little clarity, precision, organization, or interest. It may also  suffer from significant issues of grammar
and spelling. Too few sources will have been consulted, and obvious avenues of research will have been
ignored.  The essay may lack an organizational structure, with citations and/or bibliographies missing or
incomplete.
