As I said before, ...

As I said before, I am putting a twist to Dr. K’s example on the individual project page. I decided I would venture into the world of sports entertainment, i.e. professional wrestling. I chose the topic: African-American Professional Wrestlers’ Struggle for Acceptance in White America. I have found numerous books at the MSU Library. Yes, the MSU Library has books on professional wrestling. I have access to multiple Web sites devoted to professional wrestling, showcasing photographs and posters. I can see an exhibit showing numerous wrestling posters and photographs and fliers along one wall. On another wall, I see lined with robes and boots and trunks of African American wrestlers and managers. In one corner, a section of a ring with posts and ropes and steel steps. I now must get Dr. K’s stamp of approval and write this thing within the next several days! Here goes!

My individual project idea ...

My individual project idea is ... The suspense. … The drama. … The idea. As I mentioned in a previous blog, I was interested in many things: theatre, sports such as baseball, and sports entertainment, i.e. professional wrestling. Well, the more I thought about the project, the more I saw myself leaning toward professional wrestling. Then, I re-read the project instructions. I liked the example Dr. K gave of Henry Aaron, and Bam! (My apologies to Emeril Lagasse!) I am working toward African American professional wrestlers and their struggles to gain acceptance in professional wrestling, i.e. sports entertainment, throughout the United States of America. The resources are available at the MSU Library, and I have access to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and its resources on its Web site (http://www.wwe.com/). A month ago, I was dead in the water. I had NOTHING! Now, I feel a little bit better about myself, and I feel I can whip something up over the next few days. I am confident I can achieve a strong proposal and paper for my individual project.
