Paper topic yay!
Feb. 3rd, 2006 04:34 pmYaaaaaaaaaaay!
I think I finally figured out a workable topic for my P&T paper. I was going to do songcatchers in Appalachia, but I couldn't find hardly anything aside from the movie of the same name. Not even much on the Federal Music Project of which some of them were a part, which is very strange, as I definitely remember learning about it at some point in middle or high school. Huh.
But anyway, I decided to combine it with research about the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority; builds dams and generates power and such) to see if I can draw some conclusions about how the New Deal better integrated certain parts of Southern Appalachia with the rest of the country. Surely I can get between 12 and 15 pages out of that combination.
