Classification Essay 2

Three of the former Beatles wrote songs intended for the Christmas holidays. Each saw varying degrees of success. But each song was centered around a different point of view. Lennon wanted to capitalize on the season of goodwill to make a political statement regarding ending the Vietnam war. McCartney made a feel-good recording about traditional Christmas activities. Harrison made a song about taking off the old self and becoming a new man. All holiday themed, all different perspectives.

  1. Essays not based on direct personal experience are tough sells in 101, but you obviously have thoughts on the topic and an idea you want to pursue. I think this one is the stronger of the two, the one that is clearest about where you want to go with the material.
