Project 2 Outline

Introduction
Will include a brief background of the issue: the photo that was shot by Kevin Carter and the sensation it created, the backlash, and the results of this. Will mention that in addition to clarifying the actual chain of events that led up to his suicide, a closer look will be taken into the ongoing debate that is at the heart of the story.

Thesis
Kevin Carter was wrongly criticized for the shooting photo, and for his acceptance of the Pulitzer. Even the reasons for his suicide have been misunderstood. I believe that at the core of this criticism there is an underlying disapproval for the photos that Kevin Carter and others in his profession offer up to the world, and that photos of this nature are considered exploitative, insensitive, and opportunist. If this work was more socially supported,  in the larger scheme of things, he might not have had to struggle so much with his conscience and his doubt that he was doing the correct thing, and may still be alive today.

Develop an analytical claim
The thesis is debatable in that there have been photos shot that actually do fit the criticisms above. The challenge then is to develop rhetoric that puts the photo in question in a credible light. This will be done by adding more context to the situation in which it was shot, ie, the photog was surrounded by armed soldiers in a war zone.
It is supportable by the text; the article will include quotes about the photog, the profession, and the personal tragedies that someone in it can and often does face, to sustain its main claim.

Support the analytical claim with good reasons
Describing the scenes that were typical of Kevin Carter's work will illustrate the personal issues he grappled with in order to stay where he was in his career, which he continued on in even at great personal cost. It will refute the claim that he was 'inhumane' when shooting scenes of terrible violence.

Body
To help persuade the reader that the criticism of the public was unwarranted, the closed nature of what some called the Bang Bang Club will be illustrated with the goal of making people realize there is much more to the situation than they know as non-journalists.
Much of the textual evidence that will be included is briefly mentioned above.

Conclusion
I will summarize and put together the final idea that readers will ideally take from the text.
