Blog 25: Chapter 6: Torey's Lyrics

In chapter six, Torey shares some of the lyrics from his band on pages 66-68. Choose two of these lyrics and explain what their significance is for Torey's life. Then, finish the song that Torey started--use any details about Torey's characterization or life in South Jersey to help you. Attempt to develop ten-fifteen lines for the song, and be sure to include a title. The song can be serious, silly, a rap, etc., as long as the lyrics are school appropriate and demonstrate aspects of Torey's characterization.

Be prepared to share the band's new jam!!

Where there ain't nothing to do but fool around

We joke around about what goes on

Is he alive, or is he dead?

Did he kill or did someone else kill?

Creed, Creed we hated him here

But now he's gone

We miss him, dear.

There is just something in my mind

I can't get it out.

Did I cause this?

"Where there ain't nothing to do but fool around," signifies that since there is nothing to do in the area, it gives them more of a reason to just sit around and theorize what happened to Chris Creed.

"Is he alive, or is he dead?" is very significant coming from Torey. This signifies that Torey has been thinking about Chris Creed so much that he has incorporated him into one of his songs.
