Place a music video under analysis.
when writing these essays, most of these sentences should read almost descriptively: about the other authors\’ arguments and/or about your specific music video. That said, the essay is not a mere description.

1. You choose points to highlight from the literature based on the music video you\’ve chosen. For example, two students might both be using the article about Lady Gaga, but one student might focus on the \”my body is just a piece of meat\” part, if the female body as meat is something s/he/they can explore in her/his/their music video, and the other student might focus on the part about the alienation experienced by contemporary pop performers, if s/he/they are trying to find feminist potential, if you will, in a contradictory and confusing pop performance.

2. You choose how to describe the music video (which scenes to mention, which costumes to discuss, and so on and so forth) based on what is \”at stake\”, as outlined in the readings. So, for example, in the Lady Gaga article, O\’Brien is exploring whether or not feminism exists within mainstream contemporary pop music. If this is the theme that is also \”at stake\” for you, then you will discuss your music video in a way that highlights its aspects (costuming, choreography, setting, editing, and so on) that help you reflect upon that theme.

Thus, your analysis emerges through the dialogue you create between the articles and the example. Without a doubt, if you work hard to find connections, you will develop an original and interesting argument.

Finally, whether your intro statement is just that – a statement – or a longer paragraph, somewhere in there you should boldly state that you\’re exploring the music video of your choice to explore the theme that\’s at stake for you. Let the reader know right from the start what this essay is about: what the dialogue is that you\’re producing and, thus, how you\’re producing an original argument.

(1) Have you ever had an experience that you could properly describe as religious? I have in mind not only dramatic experiences like visions and conversions, but also more commonplace, socially-embedded experiences such as receiving communion, becoming bar mitzvah, serving as a godparent for a young relative, or even simply attending religious services. Think about that experience and ask yourself: Did it put you in touch with the infinite? How would you describe the experience? Was it transcendent? Monotheistic? Elaborate.

(2) Imagine that you are in a comparative religions class and your classmate argues that all religious experience is false. It is nothing more than a projection of childhood fears (sic Freud). How would you answer your classmate? Use one of the authors eg (Otto, Freud) to counter this claim. Use specific details to support your answer.
