I focused on a particular chapter from a biography of Miley Cyrus. Kimbery Dillon Summers is the author of this book that talks about Miley's life pre-2009. The book focuses on more of her early years. The chapter I looked at was title "Hannah Montana". It discusses the young girl obtaining and staring in the Disney show.
I will not use many of the aspects of this chapter from the biography, but there is one quote in particular that I believe ties into my research. The author states:
"Miley was elated when she landed the role of Hannah Montana. However, it is a lot of work to change personas from Miley Stewart to Hannah Montana in nearly every episode. In an interview with the Biloxi Sun Herald, Miley said, 'It gets difficult sometimes because I'll be in the same place but being two people, so I'll have to run back and forth and take the wig off and be two different people at the same time. They both have different attitudes, so you've got to change quickly'" (Summers 17).
This quote can be seen as an underlying message. The star herself says it is difficult being two people at the same time. Could it be that Miley just got tired of being the innocent persona Disney created for her? I will use this quote in my research paper and question if the "change" we saw in Miley was really just her true self exposed after years of trying to hold back.
