I can't help but think of a certain character when I hear this song. Do you know who I'm thinking of? And if you do, why is it a good match? And... if you listen to the second verse, why is it a bad match?
To answer the second part, you need to know about Trumpeter dads. So the article in the previous post and this video link will help you.
The first verse is a definite match with the cob. I think this because he always making great, almost presidential speeches to his kids and his wife. He is always taking up the lead, and acting strong. The cob is a bad match for the second verse because he is always being protective of his wife and children. also, he didn't, and didn't ever seem like he would leave his family.
Going a little bit off topic, how do you find all these songs for the book club? They always seem to be a perfect match.
It helps to know the characters. I've also been exposed to many more years of music, so sometimes I can just dip into my memory banks and pick out a fun song from the past. Thanks for playing along, Charlie!
Sam, You're right about the second video. It's more of an informational video about male trumpeter swans. The music, though, is relative to one of the characters. Listen to the words. ID the character, find the similarities, and listen for the differences in the 2nd verse.
I think that the first verse is defonitly a match for the cob because he always acts like he is so strong and take up the lead, but however, the second verse doesn't because the cob always protects his family and will never leave them but the second verse, again, said or sang the exact oppisite of the cob.
I am also wordering, like Charlie, where you get all the songs to match the exact character that you talk about in the paragraph you usaly put under the video.
You have to spend time looking around and listening, Carl. I'll bet if you put your mind to it, you could think of another song for the cob, or maybe for a character from a different book you've read. Try it!
The Dad is the vain one. On page 12, it says, "her husband, who liked to have someone ask his advice." This shows that he likes to have people pay attention to him. In the second verse, she says, "you gave away the things you love, and one of them was me." This is not like the cob because he will always stay with his mate.
I think the first verse reminds me of the cob. It reminds me of the cob because the cob always wants the animals to listen and pay attention to him. The second verse does not describe the cob because the cob and the swan would never leave each other.
in the second verse it says you gave away the thing that you love but a cob would never do that. A cob mates for life.I think that the first verse is a lot like a cob because the cob likes to be the center of attention.
The First song reminds me of the cob. In the story Middle School How I Survived Bullies, Broccoli, and Snake Hill, Doolin (who is vain) is almost exactly the same as the cob.
The second song does not relate to the cob at all because the cob would never leave his family. In the same story Rafe's mom would never leave her family after her husband left her.
Mr.Wilhelmy trumpet of the swan is a really good book i like the part when the swan see something that is not a wild animal Mr.Wilhelmy ithink it is the kid looking at the swans.
I think that the first verse does go with the cob, but the second does not.If the second verse does go with the cob wouldn't that mean that the cob left his mate? I do not think that cobs ever leave their mates.
The fist verse talks about how the guy is and wants to be the center of attention like a cob, but the second verse talks about how the guy left her like a cob would never do.
I like it. It is very interesting.

ReplyDeleteI realy like the story alot so far I think you chose a good book Mr.Wilhelmy
ReplyDeleteI think that the second video relates to the trumpet swans but I think the first one doesn't.

DeleteYou are right. The first verse does relate but the seconed one doesn't.
ReplyDeleteI so aggree. The first verse sooo matches.
ReplyDeleteAdam and Maria, Please use evidence from the lyrics and the book to defend your ideas.

DeleteI will truly try to Mr.Wilhelmy and I already have an idea.........
DeleteI think the first set of lyics is relaited to the the cob.The second the set of lyrics remindes me of the swans.The cob does not fit the 2nd lyrics!!!

ReplyDeleteAndy! I love how you used "text evidence" in your response. What a perfect answer you wrote!
DeleteSo, Andy - Can you think of people in the public spotlight who behave like the Cob?
I think the first verse reminds me of the cob. It reminds me of the cob because the cob always wants the animals to listen and pay attention to him. The second verse does not describe the cob because the cob and the swan would never leave each other.
ReplyDeletein the second verse it says you gave away the thing that you love but a cob would never do that. A cob mates for life.I think that the first verse is a lot like a cob because the cob likes to be the center of attention.

ReplyDeleteI also like the book trumpet of the swans.
DeleteI know it is such a good book isn't it
DeleteThe first one does not go with with the trumpet swans but the second one does
ReplyDeleteI think that the first verse does go with the cob, but the second does not.If the second verse does go with the cob wouldn't that mean that the cob left his mate? I do not think that cobs ever leave their mates.
DeleteI don't really understand.

DeleteI sort of get it.
