Do you know how hard it is to research a conspiracy theory? How hard it is to have this idea be taken seriously? Honestly, before this blog my friends and I were joking about the Tupac conspiracy and when I told them I was doing an English assignment about it, they all burst out laughing. Even now, a few weeks into this assignment and now I’m writing my research paper about Tupac being a modern day Jesus. The amount of shit I’ve seen people get on internet forums when they propose the idea of Tupac being alive is insane.
Not only has getting taken seriously been a problem for my blog been a problem, but so has finding credible sources for my research paper. Maybe because the connection between Tupac Shakur and Jesus Christ is a little tough to believe. I conducted my research in both books, online journal articles, and through google, which wasn’t easy. It was hard finding books written about Tupac and religion because, frankly, I don’t think you can fill a book with information on that. So I turned to the Internet and research Tupac’s influence today. My research turned me to reading about the hologram used in 2012’s Coachella and Tupac’s “return”at this time. 
I was able to get my research done, but I really had to look. When using the databases, I really had to dig deep, find some good connecting words to search and I think I found some really great sources.
I learned a lot from this process, mainly how easily using a search engine besides Google could piss me off. But I also learned how to use search engines, and the computer nerd in me is thankful that I’ll now know what to do to make my Google searches even better.
Hey Andrew!
Congrats on writing a paper on a topic that is so complicated. When I first heard you were writing your paper on Tupac, I was surprised. I wondered what you were going to write about and where you were going to find reliable sources that related to your topic.
I understand how hard it is to find sources that relate to your topic. I had difficulty finding sources that were about my topic, so I can imagine how hard it was for you to find sources.
Again, good job on writing a paper on such a complicated topic!

Hey Andrew!
Your topic was crazy! i loved how you took a topic that people usually joke about, and put it into a serious research paper. That said i believe you, when you say that it must have been so hard to find good sources for a conspiracy theory , but as i peer edited your essay i thought you did pretty well! We all take for granted that doing research and finding good sources is actually harder than it looks. i love your topic, and how you went about making your paper very credible.
What’s Gucci Andrew!
Yeah, this is going to be an awesome paper once it is perfected. I understand the struggle, I feel like I have been right there with you throughout the process. Finding your evidence will be the hardest part, but I think that people will be eager to read the paper when all is said and done. Just keep it interesting and real and people will love it! I know I already do.
