3 songs = Main Idea + Topic

What is Main Idea?

During the last 2 classes with Mr. Aronson we, the student, have to make an essay to try to explain the main idea and topic to an unknown audience. The concept of this work is to, with the help of 3 songs that have the same topic, explain to the audience the difference of Main Idea and Topic.

I had problems to understand what were we doing because of the lack of time Mr. Aronson has and that he stirs between the songs and that we need to add concepts, illustrations, etc. But finally I think I got it and I am trying to write the draft for the essay. The songs I choose are "Welcome to the Jungle" of Guns N' Roses, "Empire State of Mind" of Jay-Z ft. Alicia Keys and "Detroit Rock City" of KISS.

"I wanna rock and roll all nite"

The three of the songs talk about cities, the last two talked about two specific cities: New York and Detroit City. The main idea of this 3 songs are about the cities inspired people to do worst or good things for the society and to the world. For example in "Welcome to the Jungle" the author explained the city is a jungle, obviously, and only the strongers are capable to survive. Jay-Z describes New York as a city that inspire the people who live there and the tourist who visit it. In the song of KISS, "Detroit Rock City", they describe the city as a city where we can party all day and the city that the rockers born.

At the end all the songs have the same topic but with a different main idea.
