The Beatles




When people hear the name "The Beatles" most people think of co-lead singer, John Lennon. However, the role of Paul McCartney is often overlooked.


John Lennon and Paul McCartney were in other bands together before the forming of the Beatles. In 1962, along with Ringo Starr and George Harrison, they formed the rock group known as "The Beatles." The group featured a modern rock that was new and popular during the period with John and Paul composing and doing the leads on most of the songs. They were backed by George on lead guitar and Ringo on drums. George and Ringo also assisted on backing vocals.


When they first began playing, the main influence inside the band was John Lennon, who had an ability to compose songs at a moment's notice with an inspiration that others missed. He pushed the members of the band during their touring years and was able to achieve the best possible results from the group. However, McCartney was also a strong force in the group since Lennon many times asked for McCartney's advice about ideas for songs. McCartney wrote many of the group's biggest hit songs, and often, he didn't even ask for song writing credit.



After the breakup, McCartney launched a successful solo career. He has released many recordings both in the United States and abroad. One accomplishment was his first classical piece, Liverpool Oratorio, which is no small feat considering that McCartney never learned to read music.

I think the text structure for this non fiction peice is compare and contrast. The key words i saw were however.They were comparing to people by what they can do and contrating them by what one person can do and what the other person can do with their way of music.

Keywords:however,also TextStructure:Compare and Contrast Explanation:I beleive this text is comparing and contrasting Paul McCartney and John Lennon,because in the text i says,"Lennon many times asked for McCartney's advice about ideas for songs"This is comparing and contrasting because one wrote the songs,one song,and both performed together.Another reason why it's compare and contrast is because at the end it tells how even though both had to go solo only one really made greater accomplishments

The text structure is compare and contrast i think this because the text uses a key word "however" in the text they say "when they first began playing,the main influence inside the band was John Lennon, who had an ability to compose songs at a moments notice with an insperation that others missed however McCartney was a strong
force in the group too,and thats why i think its compare and contrast

Karyn R. said...

KEY WORDS: However, also, since.

TEXT STRUCTURE:
Compare/Contrast
EXPLAIN: This is compare/comtrast beacuse, first of all, it uses key words such as since, and however. Also, they are pointing out the similarities that Paul and John have in common. They also point out the things that make them different. Such as saying that Paul McCartney was ALSO a strong force. This is an example of comparison because it says"also" meaning that they both have this characteristic of being a strong force.
