im suppose to write why i think some quotes from john lennon are important, and it has to be a paragraph but i dont know what to say, this is what i have so far...I thought these few uotes from many others were important to know. These quotes showed me how much Lennon cared about things. Most of his quotes revolved around love, life, and peace, the most important things in his life.......the quotes were at random and i have no idea what eles to say so if someone could helppp

You might want to approach the subject from the perspective of the people who listen/listened to his music. Why was a simple musician so revered? What was it about his statements, his songs, his "quotes" that resonated with the people of the time? His quotes that revolve around love, life, and peace were stated at what period in the history of the US and England? What was going on at that time? What was important to the people? What age group did he appeal to? Why are his quotes relevant today as well??

Being a huge Lennon fan, I googled Lennon Quotes and found this site. It's got all of his most famous quotes, that I know of anyway. I would say that his quotes are important because they made you think about the world, about peace, and how YOU could change the world. I think that was the most important thing about Lennon's music; It made you think. It also made you realize that celebrities were people too, with emotions, families, friends, etc. I don't think his quotes were random, necessarily, but they weren't thought out either. I mean, I think he just said what he believed.
If, though, you don't think that they are important, well, then they're not important to you. I'd say if you're able to, then say that (If that's how you feel). John was a guy who knew that whatever he said was going to be recorded somewhere anyway, so he might as well say something that was worthwhile. He knew what he wanted, and worked to get it.
If you still don't get what I'm trying to say, listen to "Imagine". It'll pretty much get the idea across. People listened to the song, they internalized it, they realized his vision.
That's what I think, anyway.

Seems like an easy assignment! John Lennon has so many incredible lyrics/quotes to choose from. Peace!
“Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans”
“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.”
“Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.”
“I get by with a little help from my friends”
“I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people.”
“All we are saying is give peace a chance.”
“Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry.”
“Come together, right now”

Analyze ¨Imagine¨ line by line and you got it. Yoko said, in the Imagine DVD that that was his national anthem, that was his life statement. Good luck! You´ll do great because this must be one of the most joyous assignments anyone could ever get! Praise your teacher!
