Guilli Lord Of The Flies Quote Analysis
Guilli also called Plies fake.
Guilli: He’s a faker man. Everybody knows man. A lot of people ain’t doin’ what they say they are. So what is he saying he’s doin’? That he a real nigger, fuckin’ doin’ everything that he says he does. He kills people, he doesn’t do all that stuff that’s his brother’s life he raps. I know people that know his ass know what I’m sayin’, personally.
Plies says that he kills people but doesn’t--he is claiming activities that his brother was involved in, not him. This causes him to loose credibility, exposing that his words are inconsistent with his actions. To Darrius and Guilli, Plies is an example of a rapper who is misrepresenting himself because his persona as an artist does not correspond with his life experiences

    Jay-Z builds his argument by employing a logical flow of ideas. He begins with a hook, generally summarizing what has happened to such a popular star. This strategy catches the reader’s attention, luring the reader to read more. Jay-Z explains how even though on the surface it, “may look like the story of yet another criminal rapper who didn’t smarten up” (2). The author states that there is much more to the story.

    Lil Wayne Research Paper

    A game-changing artist and an impervious celebrity, Lil Wayne began as his career as a near-novelty — a preteen delivering hardcore hip-hop — but through years of maturation and reinventing the mixtape game, he developed into a million-selling rapper with a massive body of work, one so inventive and cunning that it makes his famous claim of being the “best rapper alive” worth considering. Born Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. and raised in the infamous New Orleans neighborhood of Hollygrove, he was a straight-A student but never felt his true intelligence was expressed through any kind of report card. He found music was the best way to express himself, and after taking the name Gangsta D he began writing rhymes. Combining a strong work ethic with aggressive…

    The quote “All literature shows us the power of emotion. It is emotion, not reason that motivates characters in literature.” By Duff Brenna is a great way to summarize how authors make books. it is displayed in the book The Lord of the Flies by William Golding and Shakespeare’s play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. I agree with her quote 100%. An easier interpretation of this quote is Emotions will get the better of you and blind your judgment to give you the power to do things you normally wouldn’t. Both books have prime examples to support the quote, each with their own literary devices.…

    First of all, the government doesn’t always protect the patriot and defend the patriot the same way the patriot does for the Government. This is evident in numerous moments in American history and it is also shown all throughout the novel,\ “Lord of the Flies”. Simon was a very devoted and efficient member of the island community. He often listens and follows what Ralph and Piggy say. Although, this sense of loyalty and trust that Simon had toward Ralph ultimately lead to his demise. One of the major issues that the community of children had in the island was the constant fear of the beastie, an imaginary monster that lives in the jungle, that cause the “Littluns” to have nightmares. Simon finds out there isn’t a beast, instead it was a dead skydiver. He runs back to inform everyone that there is no beast but his community turns on him and kills him (quote). When the oldest of the community realize what they have done, they covered up his death by dragging his body into the sea and convince the littluns that he was the beast by saying "I expect the beast disguised himself”. Simon died trying to help his community,…

    In chapter seven Beah is twelve, and on his own. If I was on my own that young, I would not be able to sustain myself. I like to believe I could survive, but I would probably end up dying after three days. Being left to my own devices would result in a variation of Lord of the Flies, a world of chaos and dismay without parental guidance. Worrying about trivial things at age twelve, I could not go off and work to support myself. Being responsible for myself before I was even a teenager, would be nearly impossible. Beah being able to fend for himself shows the maturity level he had to obtain to survive as a child.…

    “...no labels wanted to sign me, almost gave up... until I met Dre, the only one to look past, gave me a chance, and I lit a fire up under his ass...”- “White America” Eminem was born in Kansas City, Missouri. During his early years Marshall Mathers and his mother moved between Kansas and Michigan until the age of twelve when they settled in east Detroit. During these years there would be much turbulence to get through. Tragedies including the suicide of his beloved cousin Ronnie and being abandoned by his father threw his world into what could’ve been an irrevocable downward spiral. They would prove to be haunting to the tortured youth. Without stability finding friends and staying out of trouble became all but impossible. Yet the one solace he discovered was rap music. Even while dropping out of high school and working several full time, low pay jobs, he kept an unwavering focus on his music. Between 1995 and 1997 he worked on and released the albums “Infinite” and “Slim Shady EP”. Both were considered failures which was disappointing to Eminem who was desperate to be embraced by the Motor City’s hip hop scene. Then in late 1997 while performing on, “The Wake Up Show” with Sway and Tech…

    In Michael Eric Dyson’s Know What I Mean? Reflections on Hip Hop, he combats the accusations made by social critics. Dyson reflects on his personal experiences to expose the society Black Americans were raised in. In the past social critics like Kilson and Crouch have manipulated the understanding of Hip Hop culture in a negative perspective. Contrary to their ideas, Dyson should be paid attention to because “street culture” and Black English provide literacy, education, and question the cultural values at the period around the civil rights movement.…
