The poem I will be writing my paper on is the song Jeremy by Pearl Jam. This song displays a troubled young man who is going to commit suicide. This song has touched me personally because there were two troubled kids from my high school who attempted suicide. One girl was unfortunately successful while the other boy was fortunately lucky enough to have failed and was able to get help. I feel as though today kids aren’t thinking things through before they attempt to take their own lives. Our society today is no help to these students because kids and teenagers are cruel people.

My video project will be based on this song and it will portray a troubled young man who is considering suicide. I don’t have all the details of what the video will entail but once I have an idea of what my thesis will be then I think my video idea will benefit from it. The two will go hand in hand so that I can write my paper while knowing exactly what I want for my video.
