stories told in song

when i heard what the assignment was the first song that came in my head was stan by eminem! what a classic song! the plot is a guy named stan writing to the artist eminem about how much he loves the artist. the characters obviously involve stan, and eminem.  it also mentions stans girlfriend and little brother as characters.  the conflict in the story is one that stan is obsessed.  this is followed by eminem not being able to write back because he is busy and stan is very upset that he has not received a letter or call in return. im not to good at these five elements so maybe the theme could just be the crazy fans in the world and how they can get obsessed. example a justin weiner and his psycho little girls that follow him. the setting takes place in stans house, stans car, an eminem concert, and eminem in his house writing back.

the second song i chose is also a personal favorite. the plot is about 2 teenagers falling in love and the challenges they faced followed with the guy giving advice to the listener on how to make things work in a relationship.  the characters are the two teenagers and whomever the advice is being given too. the conflict is that some feel they were to young and how he is bringing home a small salary. the theme is about love.  the setting is area that these two are living in.

  1. I freakin LOVE Eminem. And Stan's a good song. Doesn't Stan die in the end? I'm pretty sure he does.

    What id he didn't drive off that bridge and received Eminem's letter?
    Or what if Eminem had written back earlier?
