This blog represents the study of The Beatles as done by a high school class devoted to this topic. All posts here are made by the students or the teacher of the class. They represent the views of a great array of people and will hopefully provide insight on how The Beatles continue to inspire and influence our culture today.

In My Life
The song "In My Life" written by John Lennon is a reflection on his life at the moment. John had a very difficult time with all the fame and the feeling of being trapped. His writing is recalling moments, and people he knew from before his fame restricted him from living his life. However this piece seems to be about moving forward. John may always love his life in the early years of The Beatles more, but he is coming to terms and understanding this is how he must live. He was very unsatisfied with his life when writing this because he felt like life was more fulfilling before he became the rock star he dreamed of becoming. It creates this cycle of his thirst for fame but unenjoyment when he has to face the consequences like being homebound or attacked by fans.
