Springsteen, Part Monkey: Song Analysis
With there being a lot of great and famous songs written by Springsteen, Part Man, Part Monkey is one that many haven’t heard of. While this Project is mainly about re-seeing theories and ideas from readings and the overall theme evolution/Darwinism, I thought this was a genius song. This reggae song is a perfect example of storytelling ways that humans love to read and watch. The songs is mostly about love/rebellion, which is two main themes of storytelling, also with a twist of evolution involved. Springsteen sings this reggae tune with anger and humor but in a way of disappointment.
Springsteen starts off with a bang on evolution in his first few lines. In fact, started off with a little history on evolution.“ They prosecuted some poor

    Analysis of John Howard Griffin's "Black Like Me"

    John Howard Griffin's research should undeniably be considered sociological. He began with a theory, if he became black he could help understand the difficulties between races as both a white man and a black man in the south and with this knowledge develop a means to bridge the gap. With this information he developed a micro-theory, trying to explain a limited part of human behavior; why is there hate among blacks and whites? He collected his data in a process of explanatory research. He needed to test his theory in order to elaborate existing explanations. He gathered all his data and went through all research methods in the hopes of explaining his theory. He followed the research process; developed a question, took into account what would be needed to answer the question, decided how to get this and conducted it as ethical as a black-white southerner could. He used a meta-analysis in examining the information. Griffin improved the description of the relationship while developing explanations for the cause of such activity and aimed to advance research in this area by gathering new knowledge. Finally, when he gathered all his information he released it to the mass media. Although it takes the form of a journal it should still be considered sociological research. The diary method is, in fact, beneficial. Instead of conducting a cross sectional form of research in which information is gathered at one particular time, Griffin, using the diary, conducted a longitudinal study. With such a study change can be identified and a broader understanding will develop in the hopes of answering the research question. Of coarse when such a research method as a diary is used questions arise as to its validity and reliability.…

    Bobos Research Paper

    Dawn breaks over the horizon in the remote wilderness of the equatorial forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and a large community of bonobos splits up for the day. Stomach gurgling, a bonobo wanders off with his group in search of food. Moving as swiftly and majestically as a gymnast, the bonobo swings from tree to tree, its kind brown eyes scanning the trees of the Salonga National forest in search of fruits and insects for ingestion. The ape and his group travel together and go about their day in search of anything but trouble. Thick black hair stands out, not blending with the tree trunks, making the apes somewhat easier to see in the dense forest and giving them a disadvantage over their human predators. When the sun begins to descend over the thick forest, the original community reunites to nest for the night. Once reunited, the apes begin to hoot and squeal, filling the twilight with a variety of high-pitched screams and noises that make them sound as if they’re singing a song. After concluding their…

    Bruce Springsteen

    “Born to Run” starts the album out with the deep song called “thunder road”. Many believe it to be his best song. Bruce himself says this about the song "So this was my... it was my big, my big invitation to my audience, to myself, [chuckles] to uh... anybody who was interested. Uh... my invitation to a long and earthly, very earthly journey. Hopefully in the company of uh, someone you love, people you love, and in search of a home you can feel a part of. Good luck and good evening." -Bruce Springsteen. The song starts off with a slow piano melody and then comes in strong at the end. The next song on the album is called “Tenth Avenue Freeze Out”, which many do not know the meaning of the title but it was believed to be about the formation of the E-Street band. This shows how “born to run” just the two opening tracks set the story of…
