Just Who I Am Poem Analysis
I am doing this review over the album Just Who I am, by Kenny Chesney.
1. This album overall as a whole is definitely fresh and divergent because in Kenny Chesney’s previous album’s he is talking more about his college and partying days when he was less mature. As he grew up, his music did as well. He started to write songs such as “Don’t Blink” and “Better as a Memory” which are both talking about how time flies by and how it is a great memory as he gets older. In his older album he has songs such as “Keg in the closet” and “When the Sun Goes Down” that are talking about partying and his younger days.
2. The song “Being Drunk Is a Lot like loving you” is a prime example of how Kenny Chesney’s music has progressed throughout his career. He

    This week's readings involved introductions to problems faced by the Chicano community. It depicts how far back these cultural problems have arose and how the community continues to struggle and overcome it. For example, in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, it is a historical document stating peace, friendship, limits, and settlement for the people of Mexico and the United States. This treaty was drafted in 1848, which ended the Mexican-American War, in hopes for a better relationship between the two countries. In contrast, in the poem, I am Joaquin, the poet brings light how the treaty is broken and how the Chicano people and all people represented in the poem are oppressed socially, economically, culturally, and politically, by the "Gabachos".…

    Though this album has a somewhat new sound and all new music, it very much captures the essence of their older albums, including Crash, showing the beautiful and influential songs that the group has been writing and producing for the last twenty-one years. One new song featured in the interview, “Gaucho” is about “[fighting] for what we believe in” among other important ideas. Other songs such as “Sweet” are written about less pressing issues that remain just as influential. As time has gone on, things have changed for the group, and that…

    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.…

    a teenager (http://allhiphop.com/2012/05/15/jhene-aiko-talks-signing-with-no-i-d-working-with-the-weeknds-producers-why-she-left-chris-stokes-t-u-g-camp/). She has silky and compassionate vocals that her fans can easily identify. DeVaughn, R. (2012, November 5) Telephone interview. In the song “Stranger,” from her mixtape “Sailing Souls,” Jhene suggests that the main character acts like a stranger in their relationship, a familiar feeling she’s had in other relationships. This song explores the idea that a person can think they know someone’s personality really well and then that same person acts differently to cause the relationship to feel unfamiliar. For this reason, I believe the song “Stranger” takes you on a journey through the ups and downs of her relationship with the main character. This allows the listener to experience the emotions of the song through diction, figurative language, and repetition.…

    The works we studied within Creative Writing were all helpful in creating my own works to submit to the class. Throughout all of the reading, many of the works inspired me in different ways, whether it was short story plot ideas or word usage in the poems. While crafting my work for the final portfolio, I reviewed many of the poems from our poetry packet in an effort to find inspiration and to create new interesting images. I took the most inspiration for my formal poem, which I found most difficult to write. One of the poems that was most useful to me was Jilly Dybka’s “Memphis, 1976.” Dybka’s poem follows the sestina form; I also wrote my last poem in this form, so it helped to follow the form by looking at her poem as an example. Dybka’s…
