Blog Post #4 Venn Diagram and Compare and Contrast essay topic


Above you will find my attempt at a Venn diagram.

The purpose of my paper is to discuss two protest songs and compare their differences and similarities. Protests songs have a storied history over the last 50-60 years and serve a distinct purpose in our society. While both songs are protest songs, one is exposing a corrupt presidency while the other tells the plight of a falsely accused minority during the 1960s. While the songs are very different they share some common bonds as protest songs.

I chose the two songs based on a few factors.  Both artists have written their fair share of protest songs and have always "practiced what they preach." I still listen to these two song writers on a regular basis and see their messages just as relevant today as when they were written. I also chose two songs from different eras.  Bob Dylan's Hurricane was written in 1975 while Neil Young wrote Let's Impeach the President in 2006.

I commented on Jennica's blog and Salal's blog.
