Homework to complete for Monday, October 30, 2017

PREPARE WRITTEN ANSWERS TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

(1) First of all, choose two or more specific lines, phrases, or images from Neil Young’s song “Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World” and discuss their significance in the song. Secondly, please explain how you interpret the title of the song.

(2) Think about the three songs we heard in class on Wednesday and explain which one of the three you like best and why.

(3) Listen to the four songs below and write your interpretation of any two of them. I encourage you to look up the lyrics to each song before writing your responses. Come up
with YOUR OWN INTERPRETATION based on the lyrics and your personal reaction to the song, and then write it down.
