The Greatest Question

The song Concrete Angel, was written by Martha McBride. This song portrays the story of a young girl who is being abused at home. The main theme in this song is that the abuse goes unnoticed.

Many situations almost identical to the one portrayed in the song happen in real life. In this song several poetic techniques are used. Right…

her “Why don’t you like pork!?” She would say “I don’t know, I just don’t like it.” I’d tell myself, “How could she not like pork!?” “Maybe she is just allergic”. I personally thought pork was tasty, depending how a person prepares the meat. This question stuck with me throughout our friendship. As the months, days passed, the answer began to reveal itself.

"Is Brian Ballard here?" With confused looks my history class searched each other for a response. Slowly I raised my hand, "Do you mean Brityn?" The Sub squinted down at the role sheet. "Ummm yes". Butchering my name once again, "yes Britney. Is that you?" Yep. Im here. You know how it goes. If you had a nickel for every time this or that happened to you, you would be rich. Well if I had a penny for every time I had to correct a stranger of my name. No not Brit-ney, it's pronounced Brit-tin. I…
