Who are more "serious"?
The Waters's song are more "serious". Most of Water's song are just use very simple musical instrument, such as guitar and harmonica. The all things he expressed are from his voice and his lyric, and his song have connection with American's history. So his songs are more simple more serious. Dylan's are also serious, but some of the songs listened not serious. There have songs be sung like speaking, it is not serious. Madonnna's songs are expression his thought and his life. They are more living. And the music we heard are not just his voice, there are many obbligatos. If the music do not have accompany, the feeling of her song may be different. Thus, the Waters' s song are the most serious.

Answer to 5,6

In my opinion, the lyrics and music of the songs can reflect the history we learned today. Specially, the Robert Johnson's "Love in Vain" ，that is sung so despondent. And the lyric write his lover live him and he send his lover in the station, all of them making people feel very sad. However, the music of White Stripes' "Death Letter" do not give people so many sad feeling. It brings more enthusiasm, instead of sadness. It makes me want dancing and do not care about the lyric， won't even mention the history.

No, I don't think the blues means to be said. Some blues will bring enthusiasm, we just want to dancing by the song. And they also have a lust for life and for love.

A girl come from China and now study ESL in UMASS. Become a university student as quickly as possible is my goal in recently. And become a designer to make plans or patterns for clothes is a dream. Studying drawing as well as ESL is my plan. Parents want me doing business in future, however. And earn money should be the first thing to do. Thus, I will study finance when join in university. In childhood often seed some calabash behind my house, but all of them had been eating by worms; not me. And eight cats ever stayed in my family; they all dead now, however. They are all very nice, lovely and friendly. But to a careless girl, take care of so many animals is hard. Some of the cats are very little. They will in my heart forever. Watching movie is very interesting, specially the science fiction film and the horror film. Most of them are fearful, have bloodcurdling cries and horrific picture; they are attractive, however. One person to watching these kinds of film is terrible, so it is necessary to watching with my friends. Some of them are craven, and dread to keep me company.
