My IM person is Scott Joplin. Before I researched about Scott Joplin, all I knew about this person was just the basic stuff. That he was a musician, played piano, mostly wrote ragtime musics, and was a composer of a famous ragtime piano piece "Entertainer". Anything else besides that, for example, date of birth, where he was born, how he became so famous or why he had a passion towards music, especially ragtime music, I had no idea. So some of the questions that came into my mind were, "Which song made him, or since when he became famous and how?" he wrote so many songs, and there are so many songs that are famous today, I want to know which one made him famous. "How he had such a passion towards music since he was so young?" Joplin was only three years old when he started learning piano. "He learned many instruments, but why did he write mostly piano pieces?".
