Today in class Mr, Rivers talked about different ways we can interpret the songs we will use for our assignment. He talked about how to not just look at the chorus but to look at the important parts of the song that you really have to listen for. He talked about how things could be metaphors and mean multiple things. I was able to find all my songs in class for Walter who was my choice. I choose if i had a million dollars because of the way Walter talks to Travis about  what he will buy with his money. Father and Son because of the way Walter grow up and turned into his father in the way he cared for his family. Cats in the cradle because it talks about how Walter walks all the time so he isn't their for Travis' childhood. Better not wake the baby because it shows how Walter is allowed to follow his dream no matter what just as long as he doesn't screw over his family and destroy their lives. Resist and bite was my first and favorite choice because it relates to how Walter has to struggle against society and the odds stacked against him but he never gives up. This relates to real life as it allows people to look deeper into music and potentially ads. It allows people to really be able to decipher what they are about and who they target. People would they learn to not be influenced by it and tricked out of their money. It also allows people real understand the emotions behind the song and relate with the artist.
