We dissect a trio of songs in which Ms. Lauryn Hill presents a micro-narrative of heartbreak and forgiveness, a turning point in Miseducation's loose narrative. After establishing her pain on "When It Hurts So Bad", Ms. Hill turns her life over to god on "I Used to Love Him" and works toward forgiveness with the song "Forgive Them Father."

We continue our civilised analysis of the Miss Education of Lord Hill. On our last episode, we dissected superstar and final our two songs at cautioned against the superficial and self indulgent behaviour of Miss Hales peers.

Narrative begins with the heartbreaking lament the subject

oh good,
It's a feeling. Most of us can relate to expressing

The scenario is elaborated on in the songs first birth. We need them and we feel begins by expressing a disproportionate distribution of love commitment. She sings.
I love real hard once, but the love was returned found out the

efforts she could restore balance. She sings I too

I cried- and I cried, but I couldn't make it right.
One thing will want to remember with this passage as it pertains to the micro narrative were outlining today. Is this idea of effort of attempting to
forcefully fit square pegs into around whole. This will stay,
in stark contrast to. The ultimate resolution will discover by the end of today's episode, when
