Evaluative Argument Essay Proposal: Mob Wives

I will write an essay on the TV show Mob Wives. Mob Wives is a very popular docu-soap on VH1 that displays the lives of real women who have some type of affiliation with the mobs of New York.
In this essay I will argue about why docu-soaps are so popular and whether or not they are actually real. Part of the name makes the show seem a little fake, because a soap opera is always a fiction story. Also, I wonder if the show was real then why are they broadcasting the mobster lifestyle? Mobs move in secrecy and do not let outsiders into their world of crime.  
I plan to start off my essay by giving a statistic on how many women stay with their men after they go to prison. Next, I will explain what a docu-soap is and who the Mob Wives are. I will also give my opinion on why the Mob Wives show has aired and what the women do for us. Then, I will point out facts as to why people, women especially, like reality TV  shows even if they seem fake. 

From Left to Right: Renee Graziano, Drita D'avanzo, Carla Facciolo, and Karen Gravano

  2. I've never seen this show, but I feel like it would be on eof those shows that is completely scripted and is more of an obnoxious spin on a sitcom than an actual reality tv show.

  3. I find it really hard to believe this show is real. If it was real won't the wives and/or mobsters be arrested? Also, if it was real then whoever produces the show is paying criminals to disply their lives on national t.v..

  4. I imagine that the Mob controls things in New York enough to be able to reveal things about thier wives. My guess.

  5. I've never seen the show, I don't think it's real. Everything the ladies say or do is scripted. The producers have everything planned out already.
