 * Answer these questions about this person:**
 * 1) How did this person impact the world?

She is an icon to many young children out there. Also she proved that talent can overcome everything. Britney went from being in hospitals and shaving her head right back on the charts to the number one spot.


 * 1) For what purpose do you want to write about this person--that is, what argument(s) might you make about him or her? (For example, you might argue that Michael Jordan is the greatest basketballer ever, or that Franz Ferdinand caused WWI).

I want to argue that the fame that she had at such a young age really took a tole on her. Also that anyone can overcome problems like what she faced. She has overcome it and is truly the best pop female icon.


 * 1) For what audience(s) do you intend to make your argument(s) about this person? (People who already know about basketball? Historians? Your family? Teachers?) Explain.

Britney Spears is known for expressing herself in her songs. Also, there have been many articles written about her in magazines and newspapers. There are probab;y also letter to and from her being as how she is also an everyday person who has a life outside of the fame.


 * 1) Why are you interested in researching this person? How do you personally connect with him/her?

I am interested in doing Britney Spears for my project because she was my idol when I was younger and also because I believe strongly in the fact that just because people make some bad decisions it shouldn't define them and anyone can recover and re-start their lives.
