Don't You Want Me Baby?

1) The subject of the song is the work relationship between two people. You can see this when the woman says, "The five years we have had have been such good times, I still love you" and "But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now and I can put you back too."  Also, you can see the man wants her back when he says, "Don't you want me? You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me."
2) The man says he made her the successful woman that she is by saying, "But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now". The woman says that she would've gotten to where she is now with or without him, and she states this when she says, "But even then I knew I'd find a much better place either with or without you".
3) I see the guy's side better because he's basically begging for her back even after the woman sort of used him. The girl got what she wanted from the man, got a good platform, and then took off running.

A negative effect of offering free education to working class youth is that you aren't fully giving them the truth about what comes after the education. Jessica Lynch states, "...even if it did mean going over there, but I never actually thought I'd get hurt or anything" (479). Lynch continues to talk about how she "...[wasn't] ready for an ambush attack" (479). The army lured her in with the thoughts that everything would go swimmingly, AND on top of that they would get a free education.
They also stated that she would get to travel around the world. This also is a complete twist of the truth. "It was completely not what [she expected]" and "[She was expecting] at least roads. But all that was really there was sand" (Gibbs and Stengel 479). You let the working class youth expect something extravagant or at least something more than what they were coming from. Instead, they're getting something much worse, and on top of that, they have to kill people they won't know and somehow will have to live with that on their conscience. Some people can't live with that, and the army doesn't inform you of any of this, much less prepare you for it.

This Land Is Your Land

I felt like this song was more anti-government and collectivist. It was talking about all of America as a whole and how the government isn't giving the people what they need and is limiting them. When he asks, "Is this land made for you and me?", he asks if the land that was created to support the people is really for the people, collectively, as a whole anymore? And on top of that, he's showing that the government is trying to put themselves before the rest of the people, creating a difference in the collectivist culture he wants.

Built to Spill "You Were Right"

-The writer of the song is going through a touch time in his life. I can come to this conclusion when the artist says, "You were wrong when you said that everything's gonna be alright." 
-The artist is kind of depressed. I can come to this conclusion because he is talking about how everything in his life is going wrong, and all the negative things that the person he is speaking to is "right" and everything positive he or she said was "wrong."
-I thought that this song was effective because every other line in the song is a line from another song, all put together to further the artist's own message. On top of that, the kind of music and dynamics added onto the lyrics also give the kind of slow, depressing feel to the song.

Love language

1) At the beginning, I assumed she just wasn't really interested because she didn't know him
2) Yes, because the hearing always assume that everyone around them is like them, and share their same culture. 
3) The fact that she can't understand him and he assumes she can 
4) Internal conflict- her embarrassment
5) By him not judging her and still loving her for who she was
