research paper source 1

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/episodes/arthur-miller/mccarthyism/484/

This is one of the sources that I plan to use for my research paper. The article, from PBS, provides a brief history about the reasons why McCarthyism became so widespread in the USA from about 1936. this source will help me write my research essay because the McCarthy movement was a very melodramatic way of forcing people to confess to supporting communism. this movement relates to The Blacklist because, in the show, Raymond Reddington plays a part similar to that of Joseph McCarthy; accusing people of heinous crimes; people would otherwise never be convicted of any crime. in this set up, the FBI are like McCarthy's followers, the ones that he "recruits" to find the people on his "blacklist". this is all melodramatic because in both examples, people blindly follow the one person who claims to know all of these things, but has no evidence of his accusations.  

research paper proposal

For my research paper, i want to write about the TV series, The Blacklist. in the show, Elizabeth Keen is an FBI agent, who's branch works with a wanted criminal, Raymond Reddington. i want to write about how Reddington is like a guardian over Elizabeth and it is melodramatic how somehow, he always knows what to do in any situation and somehow has this mysterious "Blacklist", from which he points out criminals one by one, but only providing partial information to the FBI and making them work to find out the rest of the information.
