For sophomore English, my younger sister and I had the same teacher. One project the teacher had us do was to take a song about a social issue, and explore the issue through the focus of the song and then present our research. I used Mrs. McGrath to talk about war, which wasn't super exciting. My sister did Born in the USA (I just realized we both did Springsteen songs). I wasn't heavily involved in her research, but I remember her talking about how most people in the US it seemed completely misunderstood the song, but that abroad, it was well received for it's real message. It completely blew my sister's mind that Reagan used it.
