"Fantasy-Themed Criicism"-unclear understanding
One artifact that I could ananlyze using Fantasy themed criticism is the song "I Pray" by Amanda Perez. In this song Amanda talks about her boyfriend and how he was killed in a gang fight. She says in the song "I pray that I see you in another life" meaning that she wants to see him in the afterlife. She talks about how hard it is for her to let go even though it has been 5 months since he passed away.
Initially when hearing the song you think that her boyfriend has left her because she describes his death as him leaving, as if he was still alive just in another place. She also says that he left without a word he just went away, which kind of throws you off and makes you wonder "Where did he go?" She also talks about what he may be doing in the afterlife and asks God to send her an angel to help her cope with her loss.
