Girl In The War: Song Analysis
There are many gospel songs about life in the BC era but not many songs include both BC and present time. Most Gospel songs are about a relationship with God. Most current songs are about drugs, money and women. When combining both, the song “Girl in the War” by Josh Ritter is related to the biblical apostles, Paul and Peter, but instead of being during biblical times it is during the present and includes present matters such as Setting, Historic Context, and Theme. There is no full setting to “Girl in the War”. The time that the song is taking place is present time but it could take place anywhere in the world. The song refers to biblical characters and to 1900 TV shows, but the song does not state anything for where the war is or where

    When a song is as heavily covered as Fats Domino’s “Ain’t That A Shame” from his album Rock and Rollin with Fats Domino you know that there is something special about it. With recording artists such as Pat Boone, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and even the 1970s rock group, Cheap Trick recording the song many people know at least one version. However the original version has a special something about it that helps it stand out from the many covers.

    Isla Poem Summary

    In reviewing Vergil Suárez's 1962 poem “Isla”, I find his use of imagery easy to relate to. The use of television shows such as The Three Stooges, Speed Racer, and Godzilla, to bring the reader to the level of the child by providing focal points which many can relate to is refreshing. I can remember many weekends when I would sit in front of a black & white and eventually color tv and watch these same shows as a child. Likewise, Suárez’s use of descriptive phrases helps to paint the picture of the struggle the storyteller is experiencing.…

    Money has, is and will continue to be a central part of our lives and play an important role in our daily choices. It essentially defines the existence of human society. Money or the history of money can be illustrated and/or portrayed in many ways; through paintings, drawings, objects like old coins and much more. The image that I have chosen to analyze is a cover drawing for a song that was issued in 1900, in the town of Philadelphia, New York. The song itself was sung by Cogert Gertrude, worded by Daniels Walter and composed by Lilly R.P.…

    Although I have listened to this song a thousand times, this was the first time I really stopped to listen to the lyrics. Colicchie (real name Chas Smith) starts off the song saying “The pain is deep, i've been through hell… I'm here to be the voice for every friend i’ve ever lost.” (Smith). When hearing this I immediately thought of Ishmael Beah and how this line is probably similar to how he felt while writing A Long Way Gone.…
