Re-watch the music video as you begin writing your literary analysis accompanied by your class notes. Keep in mind the three steps to writing a literary analysis: 1) Literary Elements 2) Create a tight thesis 3) Apply your writing knowledge.
Keep in mind the key elements we talked about in class regarding this song: Who is the audience? (Think age, crossroad in life, etc.) What is the singer's purpose? What themes are present? What parts of the song create the setting? What imagery is present? What is the mood? How is that mood created by the singer's tone? What irony is present at the very end? Are there any aspects of figurative language (think personification, metaphor, etc.) ?
