the rest of the assignment:

The values and messages expressed in the songs changed quite a lot and became much more personal and focused.
2.The Beatles began by singing the classic "silly love songs" that reached out to their fan base of sapping teenage girls and boys who too "just wanted to dance." And yet over the years the subjects evolved into song that reflected their own lives more personally speaking of experiences with drugs, with each other, with the government, and with the struggle that is life.
3.There are two main reasons that Eleanor Rigby is a rock song. The first is that it was written and performed by the Beatles. Since they were one of the pioneers of the growth of rock they were allowed by the adoring world to shape the music into whatever they wanted. Whatever they did was seen as just a new part of rock. Secondly it is because of the vocal style. This song is sung exactly as most rock songs are, the tone and spinning of the voice and elements of the phrasing.
4. My favorite Beatles era is the late middle and end of their career as a band, my favorite album being Abbey Road. I like this era because one can feel the emotions thoroughly and the music is contagious in this aspect. Also, I love the way the Album is composed almost as one, much like the masterpiece that is Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
