    Song Analysis of Before He Cheats

    While sappy and slow hits are the usual characteristics of a Carrie Underwood song, she changes her style with a more optimistic tune. It opens with an upbeat rhythm on the keyboard. Then, a bluesy beat is introduced with the sounds of a guitar, violin, and drum set. The tune fades lower to stress the importance of the lyrics when she begins to sing. She uses variations of medium and low pitches to show off her perfect country vocals. She begins with a low and sassy voice, but shifts to a more medium tone at times. While she starts the chorus, the music gets louder and an arrogant attitude is heard through her voice. The music is also very joyful because she resolves the situation in her own terms. This angry, yet cheerful, melody is very different from what Underwood's fans are used to hearing.…

    Alvin Ailey Critic Review

    The three-part work, set to popular and gospel music by Alice Coltrane, Laura Nyro and Chuck Griffin, depicts a woman 's journey through the agonies of slavery to an ecstatic state of grace. Knowing Ms. Jamison 's strengths, Ailey had made it for her and as a birthday present for his mother. He phoned Ms. Jamison the morning after the first performance. ' ' 'You 're in headlines in The Times, ' Alvin told me, ' ' she says. 'Clive Barnes calls you a triumph. ' ' ' Awakened from a deep sleep, she responded, ' 'O.K., thanks, I 'm a little tired.

    Anna Quindlen's 'Still Needing The F Word'

    "Still Needing the F Word" describes not only how society views women, but also men view women. Anna Quindlen quotes Betty Friedan who said “I used to write poetry. The guidance office says I have this creative ability and I should be at the top of the class and have a great future. But things like that aren’t what you need to be popular. The important thing for a girl is to be popular.” Society is degrading women. The worst part is that women and young girls are believing that they too have to degrade themselves to be prosperous in life. Quindlen also states "Californians were willing to ignore Arnold Schwarzenegger's alleged career as a serial sexual bigot, despite a total of 16 women coming forward to say he thought nothing of reaching…

    The Harlem Dancer

    First, McKay describes her voice as “sound of blended flutes blown by black players upon a picnic day” (McKay line 3). As a popular instrument at formal situation, flute clearly not belongs to the filthy night club where young prostitutes watch half-clothed body sway (Line 2). They do not listen to the singing nor focus on the dancer’s dancing skills; instead they watch the naked body sway. Her voice is not just any blend of flutes. It is the sound upon a picnic day, which is a symbol of freshness and energy. Here, the dancer is not blending into the obscene around her. She is elegant and decent despite her behavior. The fact that the flutes are blown by black players shows that the dancing girl is probably an African American. So she probably had experienced severe discrimination and prejudgment in the past, and this can be understood as her wounds.…

    The Affect of Sacred Music on Secular Music

    “Swing Low Sweet Chariot” has been said to be a favorite song of secular music star Beyonce. To some this may come as an incredibly shocking revelation as Ms. Knowles lyrics and public antics often are seen as everything but the acts of a true Christian woman. It is also a known fact that the things one partakes in during their youth greatly shapes the rest of their lives. Beyonce growing up in the church is reflected to the public by one of her favorite songs being a classic gospel song. “When you grow up in such a positive place, you are sure to have many great memories stemming from that place. That place just happens to be my home church back in Texas.” The sixteen time Grammy winner is not such a stand out when it comes to getting her start in the church as many and most secular music stars of today have actually gotten their start in the same place. With such enormous volumes of secular singers receiving their start in sacred music then it should come as no surprise that the church has played an incredible part in secular music world.…

    Faunia Farley - the Human Stain

    She started off as a rich privileged kid who, at the age of 14, had been struck by the worst thing that can happen to a girl at the very edge of her puberty – having a spoiled mother who cared more about the money than for her own daughetr, Faunia had to face an abusing stepfather who found her chilish innocence and beauty too powerful sexual bate to endure. Running away at such early and immature years of her life and staying completely alone and protected only by clear sky and an empty wallet, she had been forced to put up with the worst kind of jobs and worst kind of men that could possibly be found. In her case, these jobs and men seemed to find her more quickly than she found anything else herself. Waitressing in Florida, a 17-year old Faunia is even thinking about becoming a prostitute – «for a skinny blonde with big tits, a tall, good-looking kid like her with hustle and ambition and guts, got up in miniskirt, a halter, and boots, a thousand bucks a night would be nothing» (p. 160).…
