Jeremy (6)

JEREMY SPOKE IN CLASS TODAY……
Jeremy only wanted to be a regular/harmless student like any other in his class. But Jeremy the wicked was very far from regular. He suffered from neglect at home and bullies at school. He was constantly rejected and he tried to ignore it but his peers would soon find out that they would “unleash a lion,” for he had had enough and he began changing.
I feel that “Jeremy” deals with Pathos because the video, for me, speaks louder than if you were to only listen to the song. Seeing everything in the video toyed with my emotions. Seeing that Jeremy wanted only to be loved and instead winds up the one who puts a bullet into his head to tell all of his classmates”Thank you. I hope you are happy now!”
Means to an end also fits because I feel the massage was to tell all “bullies” to be considerate of other people’s emotions. You never really know exactly how someone will react to you tormenting them. Domestic violence is not the answer!
Lastly, I believe that “Jeremy” should be categorized as Definition and Genus. I feel that Pearl Jam’s purpose was meant to put school bullying into a WHOLE different category. It rose to another level. Domestic violence in school is hurtful and dangerous. Jeremy showed that even though you think picking on someone may not be hurtful to you, but it could be the very incentive to ending their life!
