The song we listened to in class by Lewis displays a connection between identity and place and how the place plays a part in relation to the individuals' identity. Some characteristics of the song are as follows:
- the essence of who I am is this place; you can't take me away
- grandfather's tools are apart of her body
- the singer needed to be grounded in her "place"
- there was a big impact on her because she has looked after this "place" for so long
- she has obligations beyond this certain "place"
- tone of music: sad, religious music (funeral music), death is present
It was Laurie Lewis "Who Will Watch The Home Place" if you were wondering. :) - Laura Hancock
