Changes - Tupac Shakur

1. What is the tone of the song?
           The tone of the song is sad. This song sounds very sad actually. It is very emotional.
2. What imagery does Tupac use?
           The used all of his senses to make the imagery from the words. He created a really clear picture of his life at the time and the people around him.
3. What figurative language does he use?
           He uses rhymes, onomatopoeia, alliterations.
4. Make a text-self connection.
           Tupac sounds so like he is looking at an incident but he cannot do anything to help. I sometimes get into this situation as well. A crash smash into my vision but I can't help!
5. Make a text-text connection.
          This song is about racism, I have read a poem which is also about racism.
6. Make a text-world connection.
          The first connection is racism. Now, racism is a big problem all over the world. It isn't as bad as it was before but white people still treat blacks badly. The second connection is selling drugs, and this is a hot issue right now. Lots of people are selling drugs, despite of all the consequences they would receive!
