Passage Summary: People say Linsey is a bad songwriter because her lyrics are messy and personal. However, we call novelists 'good' even when they write in that exact same messy and personal way, so the criticism of Linsey seems unfair.

Conclusion: The claim that Linsey is a poor songwriter based on her disjointed and subjective lyrics is unjustified.

Reasoning: Many modern novelists are considered excellent writers despite their work also being characterized as disjointed and subjective.

Analysis: The author is attempting to use an analogy to defend Linsey, but they are comparing two different artistic mediums. To make this argument hold water, the author must assume that the standards for what makes a 'good' novelist are the same as those for a 'good' songwriter. If songwriting requires a specific type of clarity that novels do not, the comparison fails. Look for an answer that bridges this gap by suggesting that disjointedness shouldn't be a dealbreaker in songwriting if it isn't one in literature.
