Jonathan Cain Analysis
Jonathan Cain
Jonathan Cain went through a crazy, musical life that was a whirlwind. This life was started on February 26, 1950. The mastery of the piano and accordion in his childhood enabled him to get the beat to write the beautiful lyrics in his masterpieces. He now has a lyrical poem based life that came from playing with many different bands. Two of those poems, from when he was with Journey, really stuck out to me with the meaning and beat to the song. Jonathan Cain has a great mind of poetry and the devices needed to be great at that specific art.
Jonathan Cain was born on February 26, 1950. The city at which he was born was Chicago, Illinois. He was raised in Chicago all through childhood. Jonathan Cain was a survivor of a blazing fire in his school on December 1st, 1958, he was lucky because there were still 92 children and 3 nuns killed. He was brought up in a catholic household, hence the catholic school, Our Lady of the Angels school. Some of the most famous pieces that he and fellow band players have wrote include, Don't Stop Believing and Faithfully.

he received the Civic Recognition Award for his acts of kindness and compassion to his community. This award is not just given out to anyone. He is apart of a few selected people in his community that have had such a big impact on their community that they could not go unrecognized. Even though those few go unrecognized they still have the same amount of impact that Jonathan Cain did. Also, with his song Don't Stop Believing, he has created a song that everybody knows and can share with one another as one nation or community. Many people call it the world anthem because of how it conveys the meaning and how people take that meaning. This was also an effect across the globe in different parts of the

    Depending on who you might ask, Chris McCandless was a searcher of life’s meaning, or he is nothing more than some unprepared nut that suffered a deserving fate in the Alaskan wilderness.. Those people don’t stop to think about him, they brush him off as an ordinary hitchhiker and think nothing more. Krakauer explains McCandless’s whole journey as well as who he was before the trip. I can see now that Chris McCandless is anything but a nut; he was a dreamer and wished to see what the world had to offer him. McCandless, if anything, is odd and Krakauer states it best that he could be a pilgrim (60)…

    Chris Mccandless Analysis

    • 703 Words
    • 3 Pages

    After reading the book “Into The Wild” there are many words that come to mind when describing Christopher McCandless. To Jon Krakauer Chris McCandless was rash, but Krakauer insists that McCandless “wasn’t a nutcase, he wasn’t a sociopath, he wasn’t an outcast. McCandless was something else - although precisely what is hard to say. A pilgrim perhaps”(85). The real question still remains unanswered, what precisely was McCandless? Chris McCandless ultimately should be described as a romantic. Chris was a free spirit, he was a counterculture adventurer who escaped the shackles of prescribed society and lived for the moment. He ended his relationship with endless consumption and simply went out and experienced people and places for what they really…

    I attended to the simulcast of Bryan Stevenson’s talk. His one-hour lecture went by so fast that I did not realized that one-hour past by so fast. I really liked his speech, and there was nothing I did not liked. By hearing his talk, I realize he talk a lot about what he mentioned on his book. I really liked the fact he started by mentioning statistics about our nation’s incarceration. That our nation has the biggest incarceration in the world, that women incarceration has increased by 70% which causes their children to be displace in a foster care. About 70% on the incarceration have a mental illness. Another important fact it was that 30% of black male loss the privilege to vote. That one in three black males and…

    John G. Burnett Analysis

    • 281 Words

    The battle of right versus wrong fails to always be obvious. How much simpler would life be if there was only good and only bad with nothing between? The case of John G. Burnett is somewhere between good and bad. He was ordered to condemn thousands of Natives to a death march, killing 4000 along the way. It was not his hand directly that shed their blood, but he did aid the process. This does not make him guilty. The orders he carried out would have been done by another if not he. By carrying out these orders, Burnett provided the Cherokees with someone who understood them and treated them humanly compared to other white men. There was nothing he could do to give them their land back, but he was able to make the trip slightly better so much…

    From Eden Poem Analysis

    Much like poetry, “Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.” Music and poetry are two platforms in which artists from the beginning of time have chosen to circulate their ideas, feelings, and opinions. Although different in popularity, these mediums are alike in various ways. Nonetheless, not every song you hear on the radio can be properly analyzed using procedures that you would follow to evaluate poetry. A song has to contain certain literary elements essential to poetry, such as the song “From Eden” by Hozier, in order for it to be analyzed. Hozier is recognized for his sentimental lyrics and use of poetic elements to add musicality and rhythm to his music. Through symbolism, repetition, and…
