The Lost Summer
An essay about a song and school
When people first hear a song they usually jump at the easiest answer to what the song is talking about. The Lost Summer is about the song Lost & Found. The song Lost and Found is about a rapper talking about losing and gaining things. This is slightly different than how I heard it, which is a little strange but maybe you might see it my way after you read this essay.
(TS)The song Lost & Found can be viewed in many ways. (SD)How I viewed it was about summer and school.(CM)If you dig through the outer layer of this song's crust you can see that summer is lost and school is found.(CM)Also when we are playing at home during the summer we think about how we are going to lose this when we go back to school.(SD)When we start school we find a whole lot of things that we have forgotten.(CM)Like some of us may have forgotten how to do something in Math or English.(CM)But when we get back to school its like, “Wow, I once new how to do that.”(SD)Also when school starts we want to get back to summer vacation or vice versa. (CM)When you are in school you can’t wait to get out; then on summer vacation we want to see our friends at school again. (CM) Then when school starts we say,“ Already?”, when we want this freedom of summer to never end(CS) This is how it will always be; we will lose and find school and summer for along time.
The summer is lost but the school is found. That is how I had interpreted this song; maybe you might have another idea of how this song relates to another subject. I hope you all see what I was trying to show you. Some of these feelings about summer and school are mine; some of the feelings are from my friends. Next time you hear some songs think about if they have a double meaning.
Hi Jordan,
ReplyDeleteYour paragraph is great, and really describes the end of summer and the beginning of a new school year. Although, I found that your first sentence was a little confusing, maybe if you reworded the last part, "The song Lost & Found can be interpreted [another way than how the song has it.] Another thing that I found, was in the first SD sentence you said "Who" when I think you meant to say "How". Overall I think that your paragraph was excellent. Great Job.

Hey Jordon i love this paragraph especially the sentence when you say, "If you dig through the outer layer of this song’s crust you can see that summer is lost and school is found." On your last commentary i thought you could have added smothness by taking out the word "like". Overall this was a great paragraph.
