"Shame" - Avett Brothers



Identify Subject and Tone:
The subject of the song is someone who did something wrong. The tone is Guilty/Regretful
Choose Three Words That Push Tone and Explain How They Do That: 
  • Please - Shows that he is begging for forgiveness and it expounds upon subject in how hes done something wrong and the tone in how hes begging for forgiveness which shows his guilt/regret.
  • Overwhelming - This word shows how the guilt and regret is affecting him.
  • Boatloads - Due to the fact that the writer could have used any other word, this word pushes the tone. Furthermore, the word "boatloads" emphasizes a deeper meaning that stands out to the listener.
