What is the song about?
I think this song is about loosing property.
Conflicts the song addressed.
The crops aren't enough to pay loans. (Man vs. government)
When life is difficult he feels like dying. (Man vs. self)
Make a claim about Mellencamp's use of symbolism/imagery.
Mellencamp uses a lot of symbols to represent life on a farm (scarecrow, plow, etc.); Mellencamp grew up on a farm.
Make a claim about his word choice.
He uses words like blood, scarecrow, and blackbird to create a bad situation.
He favors farmers because he shows how hard life is for a farmer.
