Harry, first off, please do not take any offense to the following. S'all good? Ok, next thing to mention. Unlike you, I will not be summarizing every idea of yours that I wish to discuss. So for all viewers, if you are confused as to what I am critiquing about, please read Harry's blog thorughly beforehand, because I will not be restating his points. I find this approach to be much more direct and less time-consuming for both the reader and myself.

There are 3 points I'd like to cover through the course of this post. Let's first talk about the first-person narrative. I found your first sentence in your argument to be confusing.

"Rebecca Black's first person narrative really wasn't what we should call "first person narrative." First-person or not, if yesterday was Thursday, today is Friday."

The main concern that I had was that the lyrics you used to support this topic were not in third person at all. Like what Vonnegut did in SH5, Rebecca Black only uses first person in various parts of her song. The beginning describing her personal life is narrated in 1st person; however, Yesterday was Thursday, today is Friday, are simple claims that seem irrelevant to this subject.
You also made a point about connecting to the listeners' thoughts and feelings.

If Rebecca Black was trying to connect to the listeners, she could have tried in a more emotional level.

Keep in mind that Rebecca is trying to connect to a younger audience that has yet to mature. So while these lyrics may seem unrelatable to you, a brilliant academic student in Grade 11, they may connect instantaneously with a 3rd Grader who's stress-free and just looking forward to a Friday. I think the biggest misunderstanding in your claim was in thinking that Black is trying to reach out to listeners like you; instead, I felt that she had the intention to target a different younger, less mature audience. Thus, I believe that her 1st person perspective is still valid, as it still tugs at the heartstrings of young boys and girls, who DO wake up for school, and who DO eat cereal everyday. You are still absolutely right when you claim that her life adversities do not apply to older people, who on the contrary, may think these lyrics are repetitious and bland.

Next up is regarding the various perspectives. First off, I felt that you were being a little too harsh on Rebecca Black. Your post was supposed criticize my connections and ideas, and yet, I felt that you were constantly hashing out on Rebecca Black instead, deploring her, for lack of a better word, 'substandard'  lyrics.
You made a great emphasis on how the rapper choose to use a school bus to convey his emotional excitement. And once again, I have to remind you, these are little kids that are listening to this music. What better way is there to connect to these young people who hop on and off a school bus five days a week? I can see why the rapper would choose to relate using a school bus. Tell me harry, when you were a kid, if you ever took the school bus, did you ever have those days when you just couldn't wait to get home, and you'd jump off the school bus as soon as you could? I think the rapper was trying to recall these nostalgic moments that every child who takes the school bus has felt, and transfer that energy into enjoying the song Friday.

And lastly, there is the concept of fate. I can understand why you would have mixed feeling for this one, Harry, as this idea is quite original and daunting. The major problem I had about your argument for this one was how you focused too much on whether Rebecca Black did or did not have the intentions of incorporating fate, rather than discussing the connection itself. Whether Black intended to make these profound connections does not matter. In class, when we discuss our novels, do you think all of the ideas presented by our peers are those the authors had in their minds when they were writing their books? Definitely not all of them. The joy in every fine piece of artistic medium is how many people can have different interpretations. What matters is how you defend your personal interpretation. In my blog entry, I made a far-fetched connection, as you said. However, I was slightly disappointed in your response because I wanted to read about the flaws in my argument, such as whether I had justified it enough, rather than whether Rebecca Black had intended for this idea to be present in her song lyrics.

So that's my stance. Please don't take anything personally, I really felt that you had some good ideas in your response post to my original post.

Toodles, muah, hugs and kisses,
Henry
