P: Why did you choose this particular book? What are your expectations?
R: When researching for my annotated bibliography I came across a website which contained an article covering the anticipation of fans for the release of "The Beatles Anthology". It included an excerpt from the book which contained information pertaining to my topic. After including the article in my annotation I began to wonder, why not use the book itself as a resource? So in reference to my expectation I suppose, for the most part, it should help me further my understanding of my research topic (Eastern Philosophy's influence on Western Culture) as well as provide for an informational and even entertaining read. Besides helping me with my paper the Beatles are a band that I have listened to since my little sister bought The Beatles' "1" CD in kindergarten. Each year I go to New York City with my family and see the Imagine monument in central part for John Lennon. The book serves as more than just a source of information for me and I am sure that I will learn things I never imagined about a this band and It's members.So far the book has certainly fulfilled these particular expectations as it begins with short autobiographies of each band member. John Lennon's was actually not told specifically for this book but was compiled from previous interviews, seeing as when this book was released he had already been murdered. Reading John Lennon's complied "autobiography" in the first few pages I have already learned that Strawberry Field was a place the place that a Salvation Army Orphanage hosted small garden parties. This should be a very interesting read.
