final project..????

So I do have somewhat of an idea of what I want to do for my final paper (me and Rachel are doing the project together). Off the list I thought I would have the most fun with celebrity/consuming actors. I guess I would like to go along the lines of how the cult and love for celebrity has brought most of us to consume the celebrity and actors instead of the movie, tv or medium itself. But. it is really hard to answer any of the these questions we are supposed to answer in this abstract though because one I have not done research for it so I don't really know what I am going to find therefore dont really know what my thesis or argument will be. I also really don't know what I am doing since we haven't talked about it in class much. I know we are doing a project with a partner/group AND a paper and I don't really quite know what the distinction is between the two, and if we are supposed to do our paper on the same thing our partner is going to write on since we did the project together? I feel like I have so many questions and right now this project/paper is very broad not specified. I hope we can talk about it in class today so I feel like I know what I am doing before writing a full on proposal/abstract!
