    The song that I chose to analyze is “Changes” by Tupac Shakur. The late Tupac Shakur was an African American rapper who was shot dead years ago.

Rap usually talks about events of everyday life‚ and the song “Changes” talks about racial profiling‚ poverty‚ and how racism affects

    Men’s repeated abandonment of women in Song of Solomon shows that the novel’s female characters suffer a double burden.

The scenes that describe women’s abandonment show that in the novel‚ men bear responsibility only for themselves‚ but women
