Yоur friend heаrs “Rоyаls” аnd “All Star” back tо back on a playlist and shrugs: “They’re just catchy songs. Nobody writes a pop song to actually say anything.” They’re wrong, and it’s your job to prove it. Respond in at least 250 words, in your own voice, like you’re really talking to your friend. Set Them Up (2–3 sentences) Before you press play, give your friend the basics in your own words: what is an author’s purpose, and how can someone figure it out from the text itself? (Read closely → notice tone and word choice → think about the message → decide the purpose.) Prove Them Wrong With “Royals” (exhibit A) What was Lorde’s purpose? Point to the specific lines, tone, or word choices that prove it, so your friend can hear it too. Then hit them with the context: who was this song written for, and what was going on, in pop music and in Lorde’s own life, that explains why she wrote it? Prove Them Wrong With “All Star” (exhibit B) Same treatment: what was Smash Mouth’s purpose, and which lines, tone, or word choices show it? What audience and moment was this song made for, and how does that context explain its whole attitude? Close the Case Here’s the twist your friend won’t see coming: these two songs prove your point twice, because they do completely different things. Compare their purposes: how are they similar, how are they different, and which one lands harder for its own audience? Explain why. Tip: if you answer each bullet in your own words, you will easily reach 250+ words.
