1. This song represents the internal and external conflicts a man is going through after he loses the farm.
2. Some conflicts this song addresses is the internal conflict that the man feels like a failure and let down to his family and the external conflicts of the family struggling to find a new source of income.
3. Mellencamp uses the scarecrow to represent the farm.
4. Mellencamp uses legacy to explain the whole song.
5. Mellencamp has sympathy towards the son who there is no legacy for and for the man who has disappointed his whole family and the family as a whole because they have to find a whole new source of livelihood.
