Last
evening on the way to piano class Alisha pointed out the lyrics from the song
"Don’t think twice its alright" By Dylan …. "I gave her my heart
but she wanted my soul"….
What she had to say was -- that based on the
sentence structure and order, the sense of responsibility / blame shifted onto
either person. Eg what he says lead us to think that the girl is dissatisfied
and wanted more. But if we change the order of the sentences to "she
wanted my soul but I gave her my heart" makes it look like he was
responsible for not fulfilling her want. I was very impressed with her
observation, and the underlying logic which was pretty sound.
