J1 Leistungskurs Englisch – John Lennon „Imagine“
Stellt euch vor, wir leben in einer perfekten Welt, in der alle Menschen friedlich und harmonisch zusammenleben. Solch eine Welt wird zumindest in dem über 50 Jahre alten Lied „Imagine“ von dem ehemaligen Mitglied der Band ‘The Beatles’ John Lennon beschrieben, mit dem wir aus dem Englisch LF der Stufe J1 bei Frau Daniel uns in der Unterrichtseinheit „das Individuum in der Gesellschaft“ beschäftigt haben.
Take a moment and picture all of us living together in a world of peace and harmony. We find those exact lines in the over 50 year old song “Imagine” by former Beatle John Lennon. We, the J1 Leistungsfach English with Ms. Daniel, analyzed Lennon’s renowned piece as part of our unit “The Individual in Society”. Although the song is quite old, we found its message relevant and relatable, and therefore decided to create our own modern verses, dealing with more current topics.
Imagine it being easy
no one judging your mistakes
no doubts and insecurities
achieving everything you want
Imagine all the people
living their own life.
Imagine love is everywehre
is that too much to ask
all people joined together
the simplest of tasks
imagine all the people
in a world free of hate. (R.M,)
Imagine no cruelty
a world in complete peace
no anger against differences
imagine respect instead of hate for showing personality
no judging towards progress
a world without making senseless problems. (F.G.)
