I am doing an informative speech on Jim Morrison. How can i outline this?

Question

I know alot about Jim Morrison and own several books. I just need help formatting my paper. I was thinking about going at it with the intro. then , his life as a person, his life as a rockstar, and his death. I'm not sure if that will go well for an informative speech or not so please help me!

Answer 1

I am also a Jim Morrison fan and have read many biographies about him...I think first you could start with a quote by Jim Morrison, either something he said or wrote in a poem, and he has a lot of good quotes, he said a lot of deep things as you probably know. Then after the quote begin with the intro, his childhood, college, then his life as a rock star and his life as a person. But integrate the life as a person part into all parts of the speech.

Answer 2

here's the plan i would do if i were you, i know a lot about jim morrison as well but your plan is great! anyway, here it goes:

- intro - the event that made completely changed jim morrison's life: when he saw the indians bleeding in the middle of the road when he was just a child. specify that he talks about it in one of his american prayers and that it is the reason why he had the celebration of the lizard and was really into shamanism and speaking to spirits. he even thouht the indian's spirits went into him.

- explain how ray manzarak and jim morrison met at the florida university togther to work in film making - specify that they were both good students and hard workers but shared a passion for music, and make a brief description of the other band members and what instruments they played. say how unique these instruments were because of the organ sound and the spanish guitar and explain how they used jim morrison's poetry and any ray manzarak would invent the melody. and talk about all their albums and how 'light my fire' and their first album was on the US top chart for a very long time. explain

- talk about jim morrison himself and how he was really into drugs and took a lot of them before his concerts and believed this inspired his music... talk about how he was arrested for exhibitionism in one of his concerts and how he slept with groupies A LOT and other celebrities such as janis joplin. talk about his relationship with pamela courson.

- say how jim morrison's death was very mysterious and still is today: some people believe he is still alive and maybe has children. others believe he killed himself, some believe he took too many drugs or alcohol and that that killed him, but officially, he died of a heart attack in a hotel room in paris with only one person with him who knows how he died (i can't remember her name but she's french and claims that she has written how he died on a piece of paper and put it in a box that only she has the key <-- ridiculous and selfish, i know) but specify that he once said he wanted to fake his death which is why so many people believe this was his fake death.

- talk about his grave at the pere lachaise graveyard and say that it's the most visited grave and talk about what it looks like: with the grafitis and the canabis that people leave for him, etc...

this will be a very interesting speech! good luck on that and hope this helped!

I hope you have "no one here gets out alive" I actually have the Proof read version of this book,because my grandmother was friends with the editor,I read it before it was released.
Anyway ,Personally I would concentrate on his Poetry. Jim Morrison was a true poet.
