topic my contemporary rhetoric research paper on the song “Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera. I chose to write about this song because this is a classic pop song that everyone knows that we can still relate to‚ or for others around us. I’ve noticed that everyone is so quick to jump in love and no one love their self-first. As I listened to this song‚ I was able to find many examples of pathos. The audience that I would like to connect to is our generation that is suffering from everyday struggles

Double Standards: Don’t Look at Me Don’t look at me is the first line of Christina Aguilera’s song "Beautiful." This instant whisper from the voice of Aguilera creates an ashamed vibe for the song. It is spoken quietly and without any musical instrumentation. As the music softly and brilliantly builds up to the first verse listener’s already have a misinterpretation of the lyrics. The audience presumes that the song will be about depression or shame and disgrace because one would associate not wanting

A seemingly innocent poem‚ Christina Rossetti’s “Goblin Market” follows the tale of two sisters and their individual encounters with goblin men. On its surface‚ the poem seems to tell a tale focused on seduction‚ lust‚ and sexuality‚ however‚ behind its fairytale frame‚ there are signs eluding to a more religious theme. These details‚ on top of the vivid sensuality that the narrator describes‚ suggest that the moral of the story‚ is that young women should avoid the enticements of extramarital sexual

With The production of the film Queen Christina in 1933‚ it shows some of the general state of Hollywood during the year of transition in both the film industry as well as in the government with the inauguration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. However‚ the main focus that effected how the film turned out‚ in terms of the writing‚ the acting‚ and the production‚ was from the Production Code that was put in effect in 1930 until 1934 when the rules of the code were more strictly enforced.

who enthusiastically loves reading‚ I felt the cut of her initial comments like a knife‚ until I realized that her critique was pointed in a specific direction. Her grief falls with the “common” reader‚ those who read mindlessly‚ but possess the smugness of a scholar. I concur that ‘reading a lot’ has become synonymous with ‘very smart’‚ though it is definitely not always the case. She makes other points I agree with‚ like that books are not “pure good”. She’s argues against putting books (and their

Vicky Christina Barcelona In his 2008 romance “Vicky Christina Barcelona”‚ Woody Allen transitions from his usual Manhattan location and gives us a breath of fresh Spanish air. In this a rather short ninety-minute film Allen creates an intricate soap opera fit for the big screen‚ and spices it with a beautifully talented cast and splendid views of Barcelona. As always‚ he makes the film with very professional‚ irreproachable taste; and‚ as always‚ with dramatic surprises. Two American friends
