FCS 1500 - Dr. Isabella

Assignment 2

This assignment requires that you work from your understanding of attachment theory to identify two songs with lyrics that have particular meaning to you. Once you have selected two songs, you must explain why you think they are relevant to attachment and why they are meaningful to you.

Specific steps in completing this assignment:

1. Select two songs with lyrics you believe to be relevant to attachment. Try to find songs you might describe as "powerful" or "deep" or "moving" or "intense," or that in some other manner affect you personally.

2. Type out the lyrics to each song on separate pages. Lyrics do not count toward the total word/page count for this assignment.

For each song:

3. Explain why you think the lyrics of this song are relevant to the general topic of attachment. This might take the form of your explaining what you think the song is about, or explaining any particular message you think the song might have. Here you should make it evident that you know what attachment is and what role it plays in our lives.

4. Explain why you chose this particular song. In other words, why does this song "speak" to you? What is it about the lyrics that is most powerful? (You may incorporate into your paper a line or two of lyrics that is particularly meaningful to you if this helps you to make your point.)

5. Explain how the lyrics and your interpretation of them are tied to your own life experiences. What you include in this portion of the paper very well may be related to what you've written for #3 above, but here I'm looking for personal insights that demonstrate both your understanding of attachment theory and your understanding of the place of attachment in your own life.

I'm thinking of the assignment as consisting of two separate papers, one for each song. Everything must be typed in 12-point font, double-spaced with 3/4-inch margins (top, bottom and sides). In addition to the song's lyrics presented on a separate page, the TOTAL length of your explanations (for BOTH songs) must be no longer than 3 pages.	Please abide by these restrictions as they are as important as the assignment itself where your grade is concerned.
