The Avett Brothers "Shame" ; Look at the lyrics of this song, and decide what the subject and tone of the song are. Then, I want you to choose three words whose connotation affects the tone of the piece and explain how.
· Subject- A break-up
· Tone- Begging (for forgiveness)
· Three words that push the tone
o Please allows the sense of begging because the singer is asking for forgiveness. The line “Blame, Please life it off, Please take it off, please make it stop,” shows the author begging for someone to take blame off of him.
o Help, also shows the sense of begging because he is asking someone for a “helping hand,” most likely from through the difficult time after a break up.
o When a relationship breaks up one of the members may admit that they were wrong, in order to gain forgiveness from the other member.
