The Beatles Methods of Development


Allusion:

Point: Celebrities must be ever vigilant as some fans are potentially violent.
Proof: They can be killed signing an album cover.

Analogy:

Point: The Beatles breaking up was much like the divorce of a family.
Proof: One because it was long and drawn out. The second was because it was incredibly painful for the band. Also each member could be like a member of a family. John and Paul were the mother and father, they both really loved each other but they had to go their separate ways because they wanted different things. Ringo was the young child who was upset and didn't know what to do. George was the teenager who was somewhat relieved that he now had more freedom.

Proof: John and Paul really worked together to write the song ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand’. First, they sat across from each other at a table and wrote the lyrics.

Finally, they write the notes down, put them with the lyrics they wrote, and then gave it to the band to play.
