AMERICAN PIEEEEEEEE

1. God in the Universe - " This'll be the day I die"By declaring he will die that day or knowing he will die that day shows the human is the god of the universe.2. Humanity and Identity- " I was a teenage broncin' buck"Humans are developing creatures which shows they develop in stages. He was a broncin buck but we changes. Humanity is constantly changing.3. Conflict- " Bye bye Miss American Pie"His love of music. his love. its dying. thats conflicting4. Hope and Redemption- "The day the music dies"He wants his music back. His hope is that it comes back but it cant so he has no redemption.5. Values- " I met a girl who sang the blues" " Bye Bye miss American Pie"Theres a connection but I dont want to discuss it. He values his music. Not so much the rest of the world.6. Truth- " I couldnt take one more step"He is talking about himself and his relationship with the world this whole time. The only universe we know from this work is him and music. To say the world is nothing without music is not based on this work. To say the author is representing a secular humanist view of himself is correct.
