Step 1: Place the link to the song that you will be writing your paragraph about. Try to use youtube. Also place the title and lyrics Due: Sunday, 13 November 2011.
Step 2: Edit your thread or respond to your own post and identify the literary work to which this song would appear as a track on the soundtrack. Finally write your expository paragraph that clearly articulates a position that connects the song to some aspect of the work or to the work as a whole. Due: Wednesday, 16 November 2011.
Example Step 1:
Iron and Wine-Upward over the Mountain
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q912ORj1bIA&feature=related
Mother don't worry, I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed
Mother don't worry, I've got some money I saved for the weekend
Mother remember being so stern with that girl who was with me?
Mother remember the blink of an eye when I breathed through your body?
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds, flying upward over the mountain
Mother I made it up from the bruise on the floor of this prison
Mother I lost it, all of the fear of the Lord I was given
Mother forget me now as the creek drank the cradle you sang to
Mother forgive me, I sold your car for the shoes that I gave you
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons could be birds, taken broken up to the mountain
Mother don't worry, I've got a coat and some friends on the corner
Mother don't worry, she's got a garden we're planting together
Mother remember the night that the dog had her pups in the pantry?
Blood on the floor, fleas on their paws,
And you cried 'til the morning
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds, flying always over the mountain
