Carmyn Glazner

    Perhaps Tretheway focused a portion of her novel on the idea that the economy was demolished after Hurricane Katrina due to the building of Casinos and Resorts. In “Beyond Katrina: A Mediation on the Mississippi Gulf Coast,” Natasha Tretheway infuses parallelism between the destruction of the city/ people and the destruction of the casinos, “some memorabilia washed away in the storm. They are like us in their appreciation of loss” (Tretheway 58). She explains how the casinos had sentiment in them, as do the people of New Orleans. Nevertheless; Tretheway argues that the building of casinos helped destroy the economy more than it was previously. The government focused more so…

    The songs begins with, “Well, I wish I had some shoes on my two bare feet / And it's gettin' kinda cold in these painted on cut-off jeans / I hate the way this bikini top chafes / Do I really have to wear it all day?” bringing to light the accepted image of country women and deeming it unfair, for gender inequality has created an expectancy that is unreasonable. Next, they address the “cat-calling” and pet names used to refer to females in country songs by singing, “Cause I got a name / And to you it ain't “pretty little thing”, “honey” or “baby.” These two lines protest the downgrading langue of popular country music and demand that females be treated as equals. They then augment these ideals in the chorus of their song and eventually reach the bridge, where they reference past country music by saying, “We used to get a little respect / Now we're lucky if we even get / To climb up in your truck, keep our mouth shut and ride along / Conway and George Strait / Never did it this way / Back in the old days / Aww y'all, we ain't a cliché / That ain't no way / To treat a lady” ("Maddie & Tae Lyrics"). With this bridge, Maddie and Tae make it apparent that women, including themselves, are not content with simply being the girl in a country song. The audaciousness of this duet is commendable, for they produced a very powerful and trendy protest song; however, the effectives is even more…

    Reba McEntire’s song titled “Fancy” arouses interest in many people because poverty is such a popular issue in today’s society. As Reba states in line 1 “I remember it all very well lookin’ back it was the summer I turned eighteen” you can tell she is a young lady, and as you continue through the lyrics you acknowledge that “Fancy”, her mother, and young sibling live in a “rundown shack” and her father had left them. She continues to tell us that her mom buys her a dress and sends her out to the streets due to her being sick and the baby being hungry. Throughout the song her mother states, “Here’s your one chance Fancy don’t let me down” illustrating that there’s nothing her mom can do and that it’s all up to her to make it from here. In Reba McEntire’s song lyrics and video “fancy” deep tone, vivid imagery, and figurative language is used to illustrate a young girl growing up in poverty and make something of herself.…
