2.- Find all the words and expressions typical of American English. Find as many as you can and justify your answers (i.e. “harbor” - I think this word is typically American because of spelling).

3.- Explain the message of the song. Do you think the singer is praising or criticising American life and society, and Hollywood in particular?.
