Composers Letter:
I didn’t find this third project to be difficult, I found it to be fun. I had written a research paper on the topic I chose, so I didn’t have to do much research. All I had to do was write my prompt and find pictures for the video. I didn’t use the video making platform that the professor suggested, I used the one I was comfortable with.
The topic for my third project was about marijuana and how it became criminalized. I mainly talk about Harry J Anslinger and the effects he had on the criminalization of marijuana and what the American people thought because of him. Unfortunately, he had such a huge influence on what the American people thought, that the president made marijuana illegal mainly because of him.
If ,y audience can take one thing away from my project, it would be that they learn the truth. I really don’t care if my audience believes what I tell them. I just want their false beliefs (if any) to be put into question.
The final version of my video isn’t complete yet, but here’s the link to the prompt.

Talhah,
Great topic! I think it is important to choose the application that you are most comfortable with. I think you should add music,
I am curious to see which one you will choose.
There is one grammar error that screams at me in your first paragraph of the prompt – “which implies that he thinks people that smoke marijuana”, we should say people who smoke.
Another thing i might add if you have time left is to mention the legal status of marijuana in the US.
Other than that, great story!
