I'd like to make this blog entry a response to Brian's post about the connection to "I'll be There for You" by the Rembrandts. First off, I just want to say that it's an awesome song. I agree with Brian's analysis of the connection. His first point was that the song and the short story both share the same theme. This is very true as the song was used on the sitcom "Friends", which immediately tells us that the song is about friendship. Brian's next point is about the line "I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour", and I agree with his point that the girls will basically always be there for each other, even when their parents don't allow them to be together. This shows true friendship. His next point, however, isn't a connection in my opinion. He says that "Your mother warned you there'd be days like these" connects to the protagonists mother tell her not to hang around Best Friend. However, the line in the lyrics is saying that the mother warned ahead of time that this would happen, which Brian seems to have misunderstood (no offense Brian if you're reading this).
Now I'd like to comment on Brian's overall blog entry writing. I like the fact that Brian wrote his blog entry like a real blog entry; that's to say that he wrote it in first person and he wrote it as if people were actually reading it. After reading this project's description I expected some people to write the blog as if it's a report, which Brian didn't. I thoroughly enjoyed reading his entry because it wasn't boring and straightforward like a report.
This is my last blog entry. I hope you enjoyed reading it, because I didn't enjoy writing it (just kidding). BYE!
