Eminem is Right by Mary Eberstadt
1.In the first paragraph how does she explain the presence of the themes? In what sense is Eminem "right"?
2.In paragraph 3 she asks what is it about todays's music, violent, and disgusting though it may be, that resonates with so many american kids? how does she answer this question? how would you answer it?
3.In what sense does she see today's adolescent music as the music of abandonment rather than as the music of abandon (5)? how does she believe what she calls our home-alone world (6) helps to explain Eminem's violent, misogynistic lyrics? do you see this essay primarily as defense of the music of performers like Eminem or as an attack on irresponsible adults (7)?
