2+2=? Audience


Bob Seger’s song “2+2=?” is a war song that at the time spoke out to the people of the 1960s. The audience of this song spoke out to the teenager and young adults of the time period. The song's lyrics are direct feelings of how most of the teenagers of this time period felt and the events they had to go through. Being drafted into the war was a constant possibility where life would be normal one day and totally turned around the next. Not only does the song speak out to the soldiers  The song also reaches out to the families and friends of those soldiers because their life as well is directly effected. Luckily in today's time we as young adults are not faced with the possibility of being drafted into the war. The audience of the blog, University of Maryland students, are able to indirectly feel the emotions of the 1960s through this song.

  1. My above comments applies here too. I think you get into the primary audience here, but I wonder if you can expand your thoughts on that!

  2. I think that you could have expanded on the idea of who "You" is in the 2+2? lyrics and then applied that to how the University of Maryland students would relate.
