    The song “Baby It’s Cold Outside” was originally written by Frank Loesser but the version I chose was from Glee sung by Kurt and Blaine. This song represents how a holiday like Christmas is supposed to be spent with a person you love and so in the song the singer is talking to someone special and is asking them to stay for a while longer. The poetic devices they use are out there, I really can’t stay, and baby it’s cold outside. The song has a rhythm to it. The song rhymes a lot. There is a meaning to how the rhythm and rhymes are shown in the song.…

    Grover Cleveland is the man responsible for establishing a trend of New York Governors: to be involved in a sex scandal. For that, David Paterson and Eliot Spitzer salute him. Cleveland was right in the middle of his 1885 presidential campaign when his opponent, James Blaine, dug up some serious dirt on the dubbed “Grover the Good.” On July 24, 1884, the Buffalo Evening Post published an article entitled “A Terrible Tale: A Dark Chapter in a Public Man’s History,” which was subtitled “The Pitiful story of Maria Halpin and Grover Cleveland’s son.” Cleveland was accused of having sexual relations with Miss Halpin, resulting in a son, Oscar Halpin. It became a national scandal and his republican opponents began chanting “Ma, ma, where’s my pa?”…

    After I annotated this song and actually looked into what the lyrics were saying I learned that not everyone is who you think they are. For instance, you hide a lot of things from people not because you want to ,but because you don’t know how to tell them or maybe you’re afraid of what they will think of you. In the song ‘Demons’ by Imagine Dragons the singer says,”I wanna hide the truth’(Imagine dragons line 8 box 3) ,but then he says,” don’t want to hide the truth.”( Imagine Dragons line 35 box 8) I think that he is having mixed feelings what he should do. He is afraid that if he tells you that you may leave him or you won’t look at him the same way ever again.…

    The breakfast club has one of the most unique and memorable soundtracks of all time. Something that made the movie gave it such a memorable track and the movies “theme song”, "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by the band Simple minds. Something that the movie did that not none to many movies had done at that point. They used this song twice, once at the beginning at once at the end. The two times this song is played in this movie, each function is shown. It shows genre because the movie was release in 1985 and this is around the time new wave music (the song’s genre) became popular. It sets the mood both at the beginning and at the end of the movie. It sets mood at the beginning because of the tempo and rhythm makes…

    Six feet was too tall: Equality 7-2521 stood head and shoulders above the crowd and his brothers in society looked down on him because of it. In the novella Anthem, author Ayn Rand explores the dangers of a Collectivist society and the freedom that comes with escaping such a place as she chronicles the life of her main character, Equality. Part of Rand’s motivation for writing her novella was her desire to further develop the philosophy that she created that is known as Objectivism. Objectivism is the belief that everyone possesses their own moral compass, and that the highest achievement of a person’s life is to follow that compass to reach their greatest happiness. It is essentially a belief in the individual. On the…

    Tim O’Brien is a person who cannot seem to accomplish things that he really wants to do. The novel The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien is about the author himself. He is intelligent and thoughtful yet it is difficult for him to move forward towards what he actually wants. The song “Stop and Stare” by One Republic relates to O’Brien greatly with his personality and thoughts in more ways than one. “Stop and Stare” expresses a tone of emptiness, regret, sorrow, nostalgia, fear, and darkness. The story behind it is someone trying hard, trying to be the best, and hopefully getting to where they want to be, not backing down because of what others think.…

    This Kiss Song Analysis

    There are wires growing out of everyone’s ears. That is, to listen to music. Music is an infinite source, whether that source is for lifting up spirits, expressing underlying pain and anger, or just merely a distraction. Music from well-developed Broadway musicals to a series of beats at a party, it is something we all have done: listen to music. Some even say that music defines us but it that really true? Is our music the soundtrack of who we each are? Do what we listen to support our core values in life? To answer this I sought out the one song I listened to most, “This Kiss” by Alex Days and Carrie Hope Fletcher, and interpreted its lyrics to see if it matched with my core values of commitment, happiness, and love.…

    The two poems, “Slam, Dunk & Hook” and “Fast Break” both capture the attention of the audience by describing basketball as a game of imagery versus a game of athleticism. In, “Fast Break” by Edward Hirsch, the author uses vivid diction. Hirsch states, “to see an orange blur” (Hirsch). This describes the basketball as a flowing object. His tone is very easy going at this point in the poem. He uses vivid imagery to show that basketball is an art and it isn’t always about the fans and the players but about the ball and the court.…

    Poetry: Poem Analysis

    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…

It is a collection of forty-eight short lyrical piano pieces of markedly song-like character that he wrote at various periods of his life between 1809 and 1847.

The piece is in the key of E major and modulates from E to B to G major.…
