WELL THIS BLOGGING THING IS ACTUALLY A DECENT FORM OF ENTERTAINMENT

In the song "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam they use an array of rhetorical methods to express some horrific school shootings. Strong moods are expressed in this song, but one that best describes the lyrics is gloomy. Throughout the song the mood gets darker and darker until the climatic end in which Jeremy speaks to the class. The speaker uses his experiences as a bully of a school shooter to give a testimonial in this passage. This is also an appeal to your emotion it's attempting to shift your point of view from an antagonizing youth or misunderstood individual to an enlightened male or female. Showing that while a victim may seem weak and fragile any moment they may burst with an emotional wave of fire. The argument comes in the shape in the form of an abused and neglected child.
