Southern Trees + correction for your DST

Hey,

today we continued to analyse the text "Southern trees" and in particular, we defined the different parts in the text, commenting on them. Here is what we said:

There are different places in the text and they will define the different parts of the text.

1) The creation of the song:

It was created at Cafe Society and Billie H. was going to sing it in night clubs.

2) The beginning of the success:

First, people didn't really appreciate the song and Billie H. was scared people would hate it but it finally became a huge hit, one of her biggest-selling records.

3) The concerts:

Billie H. recalls several experiences that were positive and negative:

• a) Los Angeles: a negative memory. She got angry when a woman ("a bitch***") wanted her to sing her song sexily; she was outraged because the song is horrible, nothing but sexy.

• b) The Downbeat Club: both a positive and negative memory. She vomits / throws up / pukes** / barfs*** in the bathroom. The song makes Billie H. sick. But when she sang the song, she had one of the best compliments an artist could have when a woman from the audience came to tell her that her performance was fantastic and she was crying too. She could really put her message across.

We didn't have time to finish it (cf. downbeat club + Miami), so you'll have to do it for next time.

Additional vocabulary:

"to be written by Léna"
