Essay Reflection


California’s Fault

Essay Response


In this essay I talked about what the song San Andreas Fault was trying to tell us, at the beginning on the essay I had a good thesis statement, but some ideas in the sentences were not clear so for consequence the leading up of the introduction did not work too much. When the music goes on it talks about that you are going to become a super star but at some point you are going to end up bad because is kind of related to Hollywood cycle thin you start good, you get into the climax and then you go down hill; so as an example I used the Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger and the famous family The Kardashians. Although theses are really interesting examples it doesn’t work to the fullest because the song is referring to a female only, it do not connect to the essay. The conclusion was good, “California’s Fault that make people keep dreaming and overachieving in this wicked land of hope”. Overall, I think I did a better job than the previous essay, but I still need to work on the clarification and the flow on the sentences by using PIE.
What I leaned in this chapter was to be able to recognize the importance of the meanings in each song, you will find more than a song. I also learn about the metaphors that the songwriters used to communicate with their audience.
