MUSIC AS LITERATURE

Personally I would say that music can be used as literature, and is literature because music tells stories and you can possibly understand it if you play close attention to the music. A novel is a well organized section of scenes. A poem is a short version of a story a poem tells many stories but has many verses and sometimes the poems rhyme. A rap is still a song but a rap usually tells a story, rap has many rhymes in it. But a song isn't the same I don't know what the difference is. A song doesn't really tell a story, a song tells feelings and other personal things but it kinda depends on what song.

Genesis: The Background of my Big Question

  My big question was why do people lie. The reason I always ask myself this question is because I always think its really important to be honest even if you are gonna hurt someone's feelings it's for the best. Like in some cases people lie to not get themselves exposed for example when someone cheats on someone they don't tell them the truth so they won't hurt the other person or other part of the story when they just want to have fun. I think it's important to always tell the truth even if it means hurting someone else.
