Blog 24: Chapter 6: Torey's Lyrics

In chapter six, Torey shares some of the lyrics from his band on pages 66-68. Choose two of these lyrics and explain what their significance is for Torey's life. Then, finish the song that Torey started--use any details about Torey's characterization or life in South Jersey to help you. Attempt to develop ten-fifteen lines for the song, and be sure to include a title. The song can be serious, silly, a rap, etc., as long as the lyrics are school appropriate and demonstrate aspects of Torey's characterization.

Be prepared to share the band's new jam!!

"So as long as I live in this here town

Where there ain't nothing to do but fool around"

The significance is that in his town it is really small and there isn't anything to do so they have to create their own entertainment and sometimes it was to make fun of Christopher Creed.

The only place to go is the Wawa

Even then it gets boring

We need to make our own entertainment

Which sometimes gets us in big trouble

The school is so small

That you know everyone and everything

And there ain't no where to go round here but down

Might as well make that funny-soundin sound

It's called the blues.

Even round here it's called the blues.
