For the first assignment of the semester, we wrote short peices on our favorit song and what it ment to us. The song I chose was " All These Things That I have Done" by The Killers. This assignment was given to us so our teacher, Jesse, could get to know us better. I found that I learned a bit about myself as I was writing it.
Rebel Music
We also learned about rebel music in the United States throught history. We started with eairly jazz and continued until 90's rap. We disected popular and protest songs from each genre and matched the meanings to events in history. While we were doing this we wrote about a topic of our choosing that related to what we were learning. I chose punk and misogyny.
