Question 2

(1) If your favorite rock star asked you to jump off a bridge, would you do it?

(2) Of course not; no way!

(3) You would tell the rock star to take his money.

(11) For example, some artists put forth positive messages.

(12) More often, however, the messages in popular songs are destructive.

(13) Children require guidance, and they are easily fooled by music that provides either false hope or

hopelessness.

(14) Adults need to learn about popular music to know which performers preach a positive (or at least

harmless) message and those that can be truly destructive to a young person’s life.

(15) This is a tough job.

(16) But it is an important job.

So how should I presume?

And I have known the eyes already, known them all –

The eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase,

And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,

When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,

Then how should I begin

To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?

And how should I presume?
