    She is drawn to the music of the land and yet she wonders why Indians being Holocausted and Africans “jumping the broom on Sunday”(getting married) to show the female’s willingness to “clean the courtyard of the new home she had joined” (AMR), are not part of country music. Despite the missing links connecting the experiences of people apart from the mainstream, the speaker loves the depth of “the haunted-hunted heart,” experiencing the pain of love in the music. Eventually, though, the speaker realizes she will never be known to sing a good country song—country is color-coded and she is the wrong shade of country,…

    In regards to the home and family, the fashion in which Antebellum and Civil War era music was performed placed great value on family and community. As an example, evening parlor performances in many households were a frequent and cherished social norm. Normally, in these performances, the mother or daughter played the piano while the rest of the family watched, and in certain instances, sang. Performances like these were a cherished pastime: they served not only as entertainment but also as a means of familial bonding. “One child’s periodical asked ‘What stronger proof of happiness all around can there be than the evening social concert, when old and young, male and female, make melody with their voices as in their hearts?’……

    MacDonald provides a unique “slice of life” picture of Boston through taking his own horrifying experiences and explaining what it is he learned from them, how they made him a stronger person, the person he is today. Upon describing the death of his oldest brother Davey, he says: “It was almost a relief to know the truth, to know that he wanted it that bad, that he was in so much pain that he was able to do something that most of us could never go through with, no matter how bad things were” (154). Instead of just stating the facts of the death, he tells us how it made him feel, and his own personal reactions to it. He shows how his life was affected by events that occurred around him, giving us a new perspective of life there. We can see that although life is hard and every day is a struggle, when you push through the learning process, you will come out a changed person.…

    Flappers In The 1920's

    Imagine being a flapper in the 1920’s. Disobeying parents, breaking new boundaries with flapper fashion and attending late night parties surrounded by the thick cigarette smoke hearing the loud jazz music. Witnessing the shiny pearl necklaces cascading down the other flappers’ necks and hearing the click of their heels against the ground as they dance. The thoughts of sneaking out tonight and worrying about getting caught by parents but ignoring those ideas for the time being and focusing on the crazy untamed melody of the saxophone. Also being able to partake in sports such as golf, rollerblading and cycling, out enjoying the fresh air and getting exercise, feeling the sun beat down and hearing the cries of people around you laughing and joking.…

Therefore, when the nation’s total wealth more than doubled between 1920 and 1929, the economic growth swept many Americans into a prosperous but unfamiliar consumer culture. People from all over bought the same merchandise, listened to the same music, did the same dances, and mostly read the same books. Before radio and the television, most people became aware of news and current events through printed material like newspapers and books.…

The area is simply a heated topic for discussion by ignorant politicians.
