As the king of pop was laid to rest, many fans’ hearts broke into pieces. A voice that made them happy and joyful, disappeared into heaven. Since Michael Jackson had a lot of fans, it was hard for them to accept his death which caused his fans to commit suicide and others were in denial. Some fans went through an immense amount of depression. The thought that he was maybe still alive was not enough to console their hearts. As soon as the news broke out that Michael Jackson has passed, many fans around the world made many tributes to him and honored him in several ways. They held memorials, candle lights, and placed flowers at places that he has set foot. It was a sad time for the world. Many fans felt like they were with him every step of his life and suddenly he was gone. Many fans showed up to the funeral and cried along with their family members. Since he was such a unique talent and an inspiration, it was hard for fans to accept his death and were mentally affected by his death. It took many decades for fans to recover. But his music has helped in healing every fan around the globe. Since many fans kept him in his hearts, his top seven songs reached the top of every music chart and his albums were sold out very quickly. Just hours after his death, the sales of the songs and albums have increased rapidly. Even though, he was not there for his scheduled concert, Colombia Pictures sponsored a movie on the legend and played it in all the cities he was supposed to tour. Many fans who lost hope, felt like he was still alive and connected with them. His death affected different social media outlets which caused his doctor to be questioned and arrested because many fans felt like his death could have been prevented if his doctor was more careful.
Many fans have lost hope that Michael Jackson would never come back again and their inspiration was gone from this world. Fans could not bare the news of his death and did not how to cope with the loss. Most fans developed depression when he passed, which lead to 12 people committed suicide following his death according to a leader of his fan club. This shows how much he had an impact around the world. Since this was such a concerning issue, the suicide cases lead to civil rights activist, Jesse Jackson, to speak out about the issue and danger regarding suicide. He made a video on YouTube regarding suicide to prevent others from committing suicide and to potentially reduce the number suicide cases. The message stated that “We fall down sometimes, we get back up. That’s the right thing to do. In Michael’s name let’s live together as brothers and sisters and not die apart as fools ” (Jesse Jackson). The YouTube video was spread everywhere from social media outlets to news channels for fans who could not cope with the loss. They got the support and reassurance that they needed which inspired them to continue their life and honor him. Fans started rallies, candle marches, events where they laid flowers, and memorials. His music also helped grieving fans with the loss. Particularly, his song, You Are Not Alone. Many fans connected to the lyrics and had a feeling in their heart that he was still alive. Due to the videos and support the fans received, the number of suicide rates were very few. If the videos and efforts were not made, then the suicide rates could have increased to millions of people dying.
The response to his death was so intense that it had caused Internet Trafficking. Social media outlets such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube hits, and Google were jammed. This showed how impactful his death was. Virgin Media stated “It was the first time we have had so many crashing problems since 9/11 attack”. People want to reach out via social media outlets about his death which caused crashing problems. During his live broadcasting of his funeral, 31 million viewers were watching this excluding the attendees. Celebrities gave speeches, provided performances, and attended his funeral. They represented his friendship, wonderful heart, and the hero he was to millions of people.
Despite the fact that he was laid to rest, fans still believe that he is still alive. It was hard for his fans to believe that he was gone for good to a whole new different world. His fan following has caused a huge impact around the world and his death has caused a even bigger impact. Many fans have suffered a lot when he passed. Fans have developed depression and committed suicide. But, most fans found hope through his music and through honoring him in several ways such as memorials and tributes. Many fans felt like they were a part of his life and shared their experiences online. It caused an intense amount of attention which caused internet trafficking. Fans believed that even if he was laid to rest, his music and legacy would never disappear. He inspired a whole generation through fan following about living your dream and never giving up on life.

Jackson always said “If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with”. Fans loved him and Michael Jackson knew he was loved when he died as well. He full filled his life, but his legacy still inspires.

Counterintuitive 
hello professor,
can you please look at my causal argument and point out the mistakes and the necessary improvements which i need to do…
thank you

Let’s look at some language issues, Baahubali. Your first paragraph:
Now one little bit at a time:
Causal language like because, or because of, or caused, are always better than due to, which means caused by but is often misused. Here you try to use BOTH caused and due to. That mistake needs to be corrected. The best fix is to get rid of the troublesome due to. Result:
But to be honest there’s no causation here anyway. The following didn’t cause the difficulty in accepting the star’s death. Human nature makes it hard to accept death. Fans love their stars, so the stars’ death is hard to accept.
Now, fans are people, so we don’t need to call them both fans and people. And the death OF the star requires the possessive star’s. So:
Moving on:
You are creating a series of three results: suicide, online traffic, and delusion. Grammar rules dictate that the three be grammatically parallel (3 nouns, 3 gerunds, 3 verb phrases, whatever). My series is three nouns: suicide, traffic, delusion. Let’s make that change:
I’ve taken some liberties. Another way to do the same job would be:
The final product after corrections and revisions might look like this:
This was a particularly problematic paragraph, Baahu. Most of the rest of your work is relatively error-free, but during your final polish, you would be wise to avoid grammar constructions of which you’re unsure.

Do you want more grammar and construction help, Baahubali, or should I be looking at argument, logic, organization, your use of evidence . . . something else?

Actually professor I was thinking about writing everything again with changing my hypothesis. And then submit it.
Should I do that..??

I really like you, Baahubali, and I’m trying my best to empower you to make the choice that best serves your needs, but instead of deciding, you keep asking me what you should do. My dilemma is that I need you to make your own choice.
Here are the facts.
1. Your current thesis appears to be that a.) Michael Jackson is awesome, b.) that his fans were devastated, and that c.) some of them even irrationally cling to the belief that he is not actually deceased but somehow survived the demise of his physical body.
2. A is not in dispute. B is also not in dispute. Neither requires your proof. C is not commonly known, but once you share it with us, we’re not surprised. Of course he has fans who think he’s still alive. Every celebrity has wacko fans.
3. There’s nothing in a), b), or c) that requires your research.
4. Many aspects of Michael Jackson’s psychology, life story, and celebrity status might very well require your research. I spelled out one such possibility in an earlier Reply.
5. You could research those very worthy topics using academic sources to support the claims you make about Michael Jackson’s childhood influences, or the psychology of fans, or the inability of celebrities to find unbiased juries, or whatever angle appeals to you.
6. Your current thesis, charming though it is, does not lend itself to academic research and therefore is not eligible for an A grade no matter how well it might be written or argued.
7. It could, however, if well written, especially since I have already granted you considerable leeway to write for your own satisfaction, earn a good grade by most standards.
8. No replacement thesis, even if it permits academic scholarship, is guaranteed to earn a grade better than the best you could achieve by revising your current project.
I hope that’s clear, Baahubali. I will not choose for you. Make this project you’ve chosen as good as it can be, or change it and take your chances that you can do better with very little time remaining to finish it.
I wish you the best as always. And I will work hard to help you. But my priorities may differ from yours. I want you to write to your best ability whatever your grade.
