and in some extent have getten basic knowledge of whaling in Japan

the next thing I am supposed to do is

topic and my plan

I changed my topic to
"whaling"

Actually now I am worring that
may be this topic sounds very ordinary in theme writing.

I am planning of :
focusing on the documentary? movie "The Cove"
and
focusing on the cultural points in this the whaling argument (not the political points),

which I hope can make my essay interesting.


Now I am in the process of finding sources.
HOWEVER
I cannot find where/ how to see the movie "The Cove".
If you have any information, please let me know!

Topic and Finding Sources

Now I am thinking of writing about

Background Music

it is also called "elevator music" in English

"furniture music"
a word which was coined by a famouse composer Eric Satie
also has a simillar meaning.


now I am looking for sources

however, there is less books which focuses only on BGM
so I think it will be a hard work to integrate the sources.
