The chorus goes as follows “When the rain falls down‚ when it all turns around‚ when the light goes out‚ this isn’t the end.” I believe this part of the song portraits my reaction to the holocaust because I wish I could tell all the victims these simple words. Even if it was the end for them‚ it would have been better if I‚ or someone else‚ could have comforted them. Although this song has different context than the holocaust

Renowned authors such as W.J.T Mitchell accepted the fact that the way an individual understands a text is the “coequal‚ mutually independent‚ and collaborative” bond between words and images. Because of this‚ words and images cannot be put together without a direct context to lead the reader. Otherwise‚ a the message would be conveyed incorrectly.

“The National Anthem Isn’t a Pop Song” by Mark Corallo Critique For many reasons‚ Mark Corallo’s article on Christina Aguilera’s performance does not fulfill its purpose in any great extent.
