HIGH ADVANCED WRITING When you enter your
username and password
in the login form below (I will tell you in class), you will be able to
listen to two different versions of one song.
Write an essay in which you compare and contrast the three versions of the song. Your purpose is to anaylze how each version of the song conveys meaning to listeners. That means you first need to identify what "message" or "feeling" the song's lyrics convey. Then you need to explain how that meaning is conveyed by each singer -- noting the differences in the delivery made by each singer as well as differences created by the style of the musical arrangement . Since this is not a persuasive (argumentative) essay, you do not convince readers of which version of the song is best; you simply need to point out their similaritites and differences.
