"Jeremy"(6)

When violence became a predominant issue in the school systems, Pearl Jam wrote the song "Jeremy" to tell of a young boy's story on events that cause him to end his life. Pearl Jam writes to appeal to teenage bullies in schools today to show them how much bullying can really have an effect on a person's life. Creating a path up to ethos, the speaker has a remorseful tone tone when admitting to picking on Jeremy. Also, the writer states, "Daddy didn't give affection, no...", proving to the audience that Jeremy was not only teased in school, he was neglected at home by his parents. Jeremy is finally to a point of depression that he decides to take his own life. This purpose of this arguement is to teach a lesson to people who pick on others. Your words and actions can deeply affect a person and even cause them to commit an inhumanr act, such as Jeremy.
