In this first paper, which is a personal narrative essay, you will tell the stor

In this first paper, which is a personal narrative essay, you will tell the story of your life using music, by creating a soundtrack.
For your guidance, please consider the Wikipedia definition of a “soundtrack”:  “A soundtrack[2] is recorded sound accompanying and synchronised to the images of a book, drama, motion picture, radio program, television program, or video game; colloquially, a commercially released soundtrack album of music as featured in the soundtrack of a film, video, or television presentation; or the physical area of a film that contains the synchronised recorded sound.[1]”
You will create a collection of songs to be the “soundtrack” of your life. How many you choose, and how you arrange them, is up to you. Generally though, think about using this set of songs to as the background sound of the story of your life. And remember how much space you have; work toward taking on enough material to have something to say, but not taking on so much material that you can’t begin to cover it in the required space with any depth. 
We wil spend two weeks on this essay.  You will complete a proposal, which will receive my commentary, and a final draft. After grading, you will have ONE chance to revise the finished paper, if needed, before the end of the course. 
General Guidelines:
In the opening paragraph, introduce yourself briefly, autobiographically.
In the second paragraph/section (this may require more than one paragraph), explain the soundtrack that you’ve chosen to explain your life to your “listeners”—in this case, your classmates. Some things you should address: 1. What is this soundtrack and why are you doing it? 2. What are your goals for the project? What do you want your readers/listeners to take away from your soundtrack, or learn from it?
In subsequent paragraphs, introduce major events of your life and relate a song to each event. Each event and song combination should result in one paragraph or so. 
You may organize your material in whatever way you feel is best; that is, you can work chronologically if you like, but you don’t have to if some other arrangement works better for your essay (for instance, you could organize by genre, or year of song publication, etc.) It’s up to you, ultimately, and how your paper is arranged will be shaped organically by the purpose of your essay/what you are ultimately saying with your soundtrack. 
Note, also, that I’m using the term “soundtrack” loosely. You may have several songs listed/matched to the various turning points of your life But if ONE song sums up your life and you want to write about just that, feel free. With narrative, there is a good bit of leeway in how you arrange and focus things. Think about the way the “soundtrack” of songs helps tell the story in a movie–that’s what you’re going for here. 
For your conclusion, thank your “listeners” (readers), and sum up what this project has meant to you—and this will include, necessarily, considering what you want your readers/listeners to take away from your essay (put another way, what you want them to learn from it, or what you want them to consider).
Basic Requirements:
LENGTH: The proposal should be at least 500 words long; the final draft should be at least 1500 words long.
FORMAT: You should double space your paper, use 1” margins, and use normal-sized 12-point font (Times New Roman or something similar) that is easily readable. Pages should be numbered in the upper right hand corner along with your last name. Give your paper an engaging title. 
CITATION: All songs you list in your soundtrack need to be properly identified/attributed. Song titles, because they are considered “short works,” need to be placed in quotation marks. When you quote lines from particular songs, those need to be properly cited also (we’ll discuss how to do this in class). Songwriters/performers, once introduced fully, should be referred to by their last names. At the end of your paper, you will need to create a Works Cited list in MLA format which lists all songs mentions and properly cites any additional outside material you’ve used.
OUTSIDE MATERIAL: If you find an essay or interview or other material relevant to your essay and want to reference or quote it, it must be properly cited in MLA format and included on your Works Cited list.

Today I am here to talk to you about pineapple on pizza. In my
opinion I think that it should belong on pizza.
Did you know that pizza was
first invented in the 18th or early 19th century?
Pizza was first invented in Naples, Italy as a fast, affordable, tasty meal for
working-class Neapolitans on the go. While we all know and love these slices of
today, pizza actually didn’t gain mass appeal until the 1940s, when immigrating
Italians brought their classic slices to the United States.
Some historical
context of why some Italians reject pineapple as a pizza topping:
When it comes to
the pineapple topping debate, many Italians reject
the idea due to the historical context surrounding Italian cuisine. Italy is known for its rich culinary heritage and
traditional Italian dishes are often prepared with fresh, high quality
ingredients sourced from local producers and farmers. Italians believe that
pizza should be prepared in a certain way, with strict guidelines for
everything from the ingredients used to the cooking method. Some Italians feel
that adding pineapple to a pizza is going against this heritage and tradition
so reject the idea altogether. Whilst some feel that it should be on some
Italians are open to trying new things and embrace in evolving the nature of
Italian cuisine.
Why does pineapple belong on pizza:
Advocates of this tropical slice think there’s something about the
flavour combination that just hits right. What goes well with pineapple on
pizza? The tart fruit, optional addition of salty ham, and nutty mozzarella
cheese give you a unique taste sensation that no other topping combination can
match. Pineapple is light and refreshing, like sunshine in your mouth, and has
vitamins and minerals that aid in digestion. And it’s the obvious choice of
people with a sweet tooth. The number one reason pineapple is meant for pizza
is because people simply enjoy it. Pizza is the ultimate comfort food, meaning
everyone has the right to outfit it just the way they like.
Why pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza:
A lot of people are not down with this tangy fruit on pizza. It’s got a
strong, tart flavour that tends to dominate the palate. It’s commonly baked and
grilled, but apart from this dish, it’s rarely paired with cheese. Celebrity
chef Gordon Ramsay once said, “Pineapple does not go on top of pizza,” a
sentiment that many share. No other fruits are found on pizza, so why should
pineapple be part of the equation? The double acidity of pineapple and tomatoes
are too much for many, and a common criticism of this style of pie is that the
juicy tropical fruit damages the structural integrity of the slice and is an
unwelcome contrast of sweet and savoury.
In a 2017 YouGov poll found that 82% of people
surveyed liked pineapple, but only 53% liked the fruit on their pizza.  12% of the people said they disliked it on pizza
whilst 29% said they hated the idea. The top 10 pizza choices in the UK are pepperoni
in first place with 18%, meat feast following closely at 17%, ham and pineapple
at 14%, so pretty popular in the UK, 11% of people voting BBQ chicken, 10%
margarita, tandoori chicken and vege supreme coming in at 8%, four cheese at 6%
and tuna and garlic mushroom falling in joint last at 4%.
Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey once said,
“Pineapple does not go on top of pizza”
Top 10 countries that consume the most pizza
are Norway in 1st with 11.4kg of pizza consumed per year, USA in 2nd,
UK in 3rd, Germany in 4th, Italy coming in 5th,
Russia in 6th, 7th is France, then Australia in 8th,
Japan in 9th and China in last place consuming 3.2kg of pizza per
year.

Hating
on pineapple
But why is it that a few chunks of fruit on a pizza have become such a
widely divisive issue? One of the primary reasons for it is that most people
think of pizza as a savoury dish and are horrified by the idea of putting
anything sweet on it. There also chefs who believe that pineapple and tomatoes
shouldn’t mix as they are both acidic in nature. The acidity may become
overwhelming when combining the two, giving you an upset stomach. Some also
argue that the pairing of pineapple with cheese is a culinary disaster. So,
which side are you on this debate?
