Brother By Needtobreathe Analysis
There are many songs that one can relate to his or her own life in a personal way. One song that relates to my life, and has personal meaning to me is Brother, by Needtobreathe. This songs lyrics “Brother let me be your shelter, I’ll never leave you all alone” really hit home with me. These lyrics are about how your brother will always be there for you, and you can always lean on him. The lyrics are saying that no matter what, through thick or thin, you can always count on your brother. They are saying that your brother is like a shelter, a shelter can protect you from many things like the elements, humans, and animals. The lyrics in this song compare a shelter to a brother, because your brother can also protect you. Brothers are protective

    The passage I have chosen is from Chapter 5, book 1, which takes place at a wine shop. Dickens is using this passage to explain the recent event that has taken place; crowds of people gather in front of the wine shop, and actually scoop up the wine for themselves from the broken cask. That shows the readers that these peasants are in physical hunger and are that desperate for food, showing that France isn’t in good shape. Once all the wine is gone all that is left over is the stains of the red wine on the street, the peoples hands, faces and feet. Dickens is foreshadowing the blood that will be left there in later years during the revolution. Like I stated before Dickens is showing the peasants hunger, but I think he is showing the physical hunger and the hunger the peasants have for justice and that they want freedom from the misery they’re in, therefore I feel he is also foreshadowing that the peasants are going to revolt and that they’re will be some kind of revolution. When Dickens says “the wine was red wine”, it is symbolic in a way of showing the sense of revolution, because the peasants dressed themselves in the color red while revolting, but also the fact that red is symbolic by symbolizing the blood of all the peasants and people of France that will die in the fight for what they believe in. I also believe when Dickens closes this passage with the words wine-lees blood he is trying to say that although at that moment its just wine, eventually lives are taken and it turns into real blood, and that the blood will stain the streets of France, leaving a reminder of this terrible…

    When we read “A Brother Lost” by Ashley Womble it was emotional. If I had to experience that kind of pain and suffering I probably go insane too. However, I wouldn’t give up on my brother. I’m not saying Ashley Womble gave up on her brother. I’m just saying she could have approach the situation…

    All though my parents never got a divorce I feel a connection with different pieces of the song and I thoroughly enjoyed the way he expressed his emotions throughout the song in words I would have never thought of using. The song is very vocal with a quite instrumental background that ties it all together, he uses so much emotion and power in his singing that it’s hard not to feel the same emotions he is feeling in this song. He talks about his parents fighting and him trying to keep them together which I feel like most children have tried to do when their parents are fighting.…

    For the cover, I selected images of events and symbols of events that occurred in Little Brother. The colllapsed bridge represents the terrorist attack on the Bay Bridge that spiraled San Francisco into it’s version of a police state. The bug and the phone awaiting passcode are mental punishments that the DHS inflicted on Marcus when they tortured him into giving them his passcode and continued monitoring him. Marcus constantly wrote code, ratifying the laptop, and showed his love for it with statements like “I never thought I’d be paid to write code,”(Doctorow 154). Marcus was held in a secret prison alone in a cell where he was tortured. In San Francisco, to punish the riotting XNetters, the police would rain pepperspray…

    I like the song ”Watching You” by Rodney Akins because it perfectly describes how me and my little sister, Lauren’s, relationship is. For the longest time she would watch and mimic me; I hated it. My mom would tell me that I needed to be the bigger person that it wasn’t hurting me, but at the time I thought it was. My entire life goal was to be different and unique, but when she would come behind me and repeat what I did, it makes my entire goal purposeless. What I didn’t realize at the time was that it was teaching me to be aware that other people are watching me at times I never thought they would.…

    In order for human nature to be a set of universal behaviors and traits, it should not change. No matter what factors influence it, the nature of every human should be set in stone. This concept is debatable because it is difficult to distinguish what is changing and what is staying the same within our human nature. The factors that affect human nature can be so powerful. For example, technology has a major influence on our human nature and our relationship with nature.…

    Prominent protest songs of the 21st century are often found in genera’s containing boldly outspoken and poetically powerful lyrics such as contemporary rap and hip hop. However, a female country duo who debuted their first album in 2015 is stirring the gender inequality pot by crafting their music with brutal honesty. Maddie and Tae, two twenty-one year olds from Nashville, Tennessee, have dampened the burning fire in modern country music, referred to as “Bro Country.” These two ladies have taken a stance with their hit track, “Girl in a Country Song,” rebelling against the norms of society and shedding light on gender inequality through the power of protest music.…

    “Talking shit about a pretty sunset,” is a song that portrays an overall apathetic outlook on life. The listener can clearly hear the discontent expressed in the words sung and the execution in the music. Thoughts of suicide, phobia of commitment, lack and gain of motivation, fixation and illusions of a better life are all present. Through the complex breaks and climax of the song, tells an emotional story of revelation, realization and self-actualization.…

    Team work in schools is important as it’s a development not only for you but also for others. It helps to build a positive relationship with those that are within your team, as well as showing that there is support for one another within the structure. Whatever the size the school you work in, you will be part of a group of people who each have a different role to fulfil while working to support individuals or groups of pupils. Whilst each member of the team know and understand their own role, they should also know and understand the roles of other team members, and how they all fit together in a school environment. Where there is team work, responsibilities and tasks are shared between the team, therefor, the tasks will be completed more effectively and also in a good time scale. Each team member has their own skills and expertise, communicating with them not only increases your own knowledge and skills, but also allows you to understand your own role within the team. Communication is a very important tool in team work; you can ask for advice or even give advice about certain subjects or topics, as well as sharing ideas on them too.…

    The song that I chose to analyze is “Changes” by Tupac Shakur. The late Tupac Shakur was an African American rapper who was shot dead years ago. His powerful lyrics have impacted the rap industry to this day, because he spoke the truth. His lyrics directly related to his everyday struggles, and how being a successful African American is not an easy task to achieve. Rap usually talks about events of everyday life, and the song “Changes” talks about racial profiling, poverty, and how racism affects the everyday life of African American people. Note that this song came out in about 1996 where things were different, however the lyrics of this song still ring in the ears of people who are affected by the evil of racism.…

    For my song I picked Garth Brooks “The River.” I consider this song to be very meaningful. This song is about chasing your dreams and never giving up on what you believe in, reminding us that life is shorter than we think and if we just stand on the shore watching the river go by, then life will be gone before we know it. Garth Brooks uses a lot of psychological concepts in this song, such as, Attitude, Affect, Motivation, Optimism, and Behavior. Garth Brooks says, “A dream is like a river.” A dream changes, just like a river changes. As life changes, the river can be calm then strong then calm again, so our path in life change. Garth Brooks says that “He will sail his vessel until the river runs dry.” To me this mean no matter what life throws…
