Ben E King Stand By Me Analysis
“Stand By Me” is a very popular song covered by over 200 people, originally by Ben E. King, and has become a song that almost everyone knows. I choose Otis Redding’s version because he’s just enjoying the music, and having fun with it. Rather than turning the song into a desperate plea, he makes the song lighter, and is enjoying the groove. I think everyone needs someone to be able to stick up for eachother, but we also just need to have fun every now and then. This is also my theme song because I like how Redding almost makes the song almost mischievous, and is just a fan of the song. He is a record player, just playing the songs. He covered the song just three years after Ben E. King released the original version in 1962. At that time, the

    Analysis Of Leutze's Stand Up That Mountain

    In Stand Up That Mountain, Jay Erskine Leutze is battling, who we soon find out is the antagonist, Paul Brown, a stone company owner who wants to mine into Belveiw mountain. I think that there are two perspectives represented in the book, but Leutze’s side is positively represented. Brown is the economic and business values, while Leutze is the moral and aesthetic values. Throughout the book, I found how these two sides were represented by characters who would swap between each due to the circumstances. Circumstances force humans to chose whether or not to actually do what they value or change because of the situation. Most often, people go on the side that would best benefit them through gaining (trust, money, credibility) or losing (bad reputation,…

    Analysis Of Diane Cole's Essay Don 'T Just Stand There'

    Diane Cole believes when dealing with racial slurs or offensive ethnic jokes , it is best to speak up. Miss Cole shows us this in her essay called "Don't Just Stand There". Miss Cole believes it is best to do it in a private and calm atmosphere. Even though lashing out and responding with anger is most people's initial reaction. Lashing out is normally ineffective and does not solve the problem according to Miss Cole. Another thing Miss Cole believes is effective is making sure you heard what the person said correctly and correctly understood their intent behind those words. This let's you give the person the benefit of the doubt incase you did not hear them correctly. If these slurs or jokes happen in a work environment Miss Cole believes…

    On August 9, 2014, at 12:02 p.m., white police officer Darren Wilson fired the ninth shot which would prematurely end the life of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager. This polarizing event sparked public outcry, protests, and major controversy as it went on to further stoke the flame of the growing Black Lives Matter movement ("What Happened in Ferguson"). Just four days after the event, amidst the chaotic and controversial fallout, American artist and political activist Richard Williams released a spoken word video titled: "Michael Brown, Same Story."

    Forgiveness By June Callwood Analysis

    Some people may say that all wrongdoers do not deserve a pardon and must be punished immediately. While others may say it depends on the weight of the wrong doing; simple mistakes are tolerable, but serious crimes are unforgivable. However, some people will mention the cliché, “forgive and forget” (saying). Whoever created this saying has to explain the meaning of it because the logic is unclear. Did the saying’s author use the word “forget” because it rhymes with the word “forgive”, or because people need to literally forget the crime that others did to them? It sounds impossible because the human brain does not have a delete memory feature. Maybe the saying has a deeper meaning. Many people in the World Wide Web are arguing about it because…

    Reign over Me: an Analysis

    Charlie in “Reign Over Me” seemed to be a mainstream introduction to an area of the human psyche few will receive personal contact or interaction with in their lifetimes. Tragedy as a concept is a loosely defined term, one that varies greatly depending on exactly who is getting affected, how and why. Yet the writer of the screenplay chose to slab with this nearing-middle-age man, Charlie, as a victim of what universally most can say does warrant personal effect and disaster. Death of a family. In but a situation he could not control (this theme of him constantly struggling to be the only outside influence that affects his life and decisions one that will be recurring), Charlie is in an instant shattered. His mind and all subsequent areas thrown to the curb and the realm of lost thought and cognition to be his home for the four years that have passed since the fated accident; what we see as 9-11. Yet through a purely psychological standpoint, the question remains to be asked. Has Charlie not as a fictional character, but embodiment of PTSD to be shown to many as the first impression of the disorder, been written off as an accurate and understandable portrayal of a reaction one would expect? (PTSD, also known as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, is an anxiety disorder characterized by insomnia, social withdrawal, haunting memories, and/or hypersensitivity to select situations or objects after a traumatic experience; Charlie has had experience with all.) Due to personal bias with this disorder latter sections of this analysis may or may not directly oppose with the message of what Charlie has to bring as sufferer of PTSD, but overall Charlie's cognitive, physical, and emotional damage due to his hardships are very different from my sense of "pain" through the disorder (in a sense you can say we together encompass both of the extremes of manifestation {A…

    Soul Music Form In The 1960's

    Soul is a music genre that originated in the United States in the 1950’s and early 1960’s. Origionally, a version of gospel, soul was the major black musical form of the 1960’s and 70’s and remained evident in various hybrid styles since, for example, neo-soul and soul jazz. It combines elements of African- American gospel music, rythem and blues and often Jazz. It was used to signify music with a greater sense of authenticity and sincerity. In the 1960’s as the genre developed, soul was a merger of gospel style singing and funk rock anthems.…

    Martin Luther King Analysis

    RING! RING! RING! You hear the church bells ringing to start worship. Getting up everyday to praise the lord is habitat. Finding a spot in the church is hard to find because so many people are there. You listen to the priest preach the word and look at the stain glass windows to understand the meaning. As you are walking out you see a huge fire in the middle of the court. A man is yelling “You’ll burn in hell if you don’t buy an indulgence! You need to purchase one to forgive your sins and for tonight only Pope Leo X is willing to sell you one.” Fear rushes over you. As you look around you see a monk. That monk's name is Martin Luther. You don’t know it yet but religion is going to change thanks to Luther. Martin Luther was a german monk and…

    Never Let Me Go Analysis

    Margaret Atwood once said, “The thing about delirium is you think it's great, but it actually isn't.” In Margaret Atwood’s novel Oryx and Crake and Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel Never Let Me Go both take a place in a dystopian society, filled with elements of chaos, diseases, division, and oppression. In Oryx and Crake, the title character experiences an awful childhood that constructs a foundation for his personality. Crake was betrayed by his mother and best friend, which stimulated him to go on a path of destruction. He is narcissistic, detached, and intellectually superior. In Never Let Me Go, Ruth shares a similar quality which is being very egotistical and projects herself as incredibly abrasive. She is a clone who serves one sole purpose in life which is to donate her vital organs, while being separated from society. In Oryx and Crake and Never Let Me Go, the following characters demonstrate how their personalities stems from the lack of parental guidance which explains their decision making process and why.…
