Many songs are written to portray the sadness that comes the loss of a loved one. Pearl Jam’s Black portrays the grief that love brings and how hard it is to overcome the heartbreak. During a walk on the street, the narrator states, “I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by Some kids at play I can feel their laughter So why do I sear” (Pearl Jam 19-23).

The truth of who you really are became a fallacy to the ears of many young minds, including mine. Implanted since I was a young child, you were always portrayed as the “Big Bad Wolf” who treated the three little pigs as delicious prey rather than a friendly neighbor who wanted to be more than an acquaintance.

I love the gold/bronze color of it, the medal means you have graduated with honors, and finally it is something all of my older siblings have received.
