Paris is an undefeatable city‚ It lives; It lasts; It loves. And many love it back. Woody Allen begins his film Midnight in Paris with an ode to the modern Paris. As the scenes of the city dwellers and monuments roll‚ Allen plays “Si Tu Vois Ma Mère" by Sidney Bechet. The song is a dip into the journey many artists have taken: Bechet‚ an American Jazz musician who moved to Paris‚ found success and inspiration in the city during the 1950s. As Professor Stoltzfus points out‚ “The sax calls the tune

Music Video Analysis: “Cowboy Casanova” The music video I have chosen to analyze is “Cowboy Casanova”; this song was written by Mike Elizondo‚ Brett James‚ and co-written by Underwood herself. Carrie Underwood performs this song; this is one of my favorite songs. This song is about a girl that had her heart broke by a guy that seemed perfect; he’s a smooth talker and knows exactly how to get a girl. However he doesn’t really care about the girl at all. So the girl is trying to warn another girl

"The Weary Blues" and "Lenox Avenue: Midnight" by Langston Hughes are two poems written as scenes of urban life. Although these poems were written more than seventy years ago‚ it is surprising to see some general similarities they share with modern day city life.

Midnight The clock made its chime. Darkness filled the air. Its three hours after nine And he was very scared. The air had no light. He was all alone. He was filled with fright‚ And couldn’t find his way home. With nowhere to go‚ He stopped and lay down‚ The woods were nothing he’d know‚ Which caused him to frown. then there was a flare‚ Coming from afar‚ Going to it was his dare‚ Like him following a star. He found the source of the light‚ Was a man with a light so bright And

Next is the painting The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere by Grant Wood. He is depicting the story of how Paul Revere dashed through a colonial town on horseback to alert the locals that British troops were coming.

The book I chose to do for my book review was the Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. This suspenseful story was about a 1981 murder trial in Savannah‚ Georgia‚ and was written in 1994. The author was John Berendt and he draws a clear picture of what Savannah’s residents were like by using the themes of money‚ isolation‚ illusion‚ and good versus evil. The book begins by explaining how the main character came to simultaneously live in Savannah and New York. He describes his childhood fascination
