My focusing question was about music. The blog prompt is about music too which makes it really easy for me! But the point is that the music changed because of different characters. I think that the blue grass and banjo music are supposed to describe the place and the characters. I agree with the author because the songs that are sung and the way they are sung, is meant to be “extreme and therefore comical” (hainge 38).
The end of the movie showed the little girls singing a slave song or an old spiritual just like the man that was pushing the cart. I think I’ve changed my opinion. I don’t think that the music is stereotypical of the characters, or at least at the end. I feel that the music featured was supposed to be like a story to the audience. It wasn’t supposed to repesent just one person. The story is about finding something but staying on the same path. I think it’s job is to further our understanding of struggle and change.
I feel maybe the message in the film was hidden in the music.

Lol this made like no sense.
