Surveillance and self-promotion:
When we read the lyrics, we relate this song to self-promotion and confidence. But when we see the music video, we find out that if you have Gods powers, you’ve got to be as lonely as God.
You have thought about some interesting things about the song and you presented it very well with making the question with italics and the anwsers in normal writing.
ReplyDeleteI think you should have considered rewriting the sentence "He sees himself over the crowd", because it does not really make that much sence in english, but I get what you mean.
Overall I think you did a good job.
fine setting up, easy to understand. there is some few repeating errors "sees". otherwise fine job:)
ReplyDeletewell, interesting stuff, maybe you should have been writing a lillte more, specially about the songwriter.
ReplyDeleteYou are getting the most important points out of the song, but the answers is a little short, other than that, there isnt really much more to that song. Good.
