The song that I have chose to blog about is Renegade by the band Styx. This songs is about the tragic events that led up to the capturing of a fugitive. This song is considered a ballad because it has to do with tragic accidents and sudden disasters. The sudden disaster would be that the fugitive was caught. In the song, the fugitive talks about how te "long arm" of the law had bought him in and about how far he is away from his home. The song is actually really good and it also interesting that it shows a type of literary writing that people can see in there textbooks. The structure of the song represents that of a poem. However, it does not read as a poem.
