Eric Carmen Themes
This is another of my all time favorite singers. Eric Carmen is an American singer, songwriter, guitarist and keyboardist. He had a number of hit songs in the 1970s and 1980s. He began singing as a member of the rock group The Raspberries. His solo hits include “All By Myself”, “Never Gonna Fall in Love Again”, ‘Hungry Eyes”, and “Make Me Lose Control”.

Eric Carmen’s first two solo singles came out in 1976. They were both created around themes by Sergei Rachmaninoff. “All by Myself” was based on Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2.

    Johnny Tremain Themes

    • 670 Words
    • 3 Pages

    I decided to select, Johnny Tremain, for my book report because of the fundamental and universal ideas the author, Esther Forbes, employs. Throughout the book, Forbes displays the dynamic of his characters and how the American Revolution transformed these boys into men. I appointed this book over others because of its underlying messages about Family, Friendship, and Patriotism. The cover of the book is nothing special, but displays the Revolution as a coming of age. The story begins by describing the life of the most gifted silversmith apprentice in Boston, Johnny Tremain. Tremain is determined to become the best silversmith but that takes a drastic turn when he decides to work on the sabbath and when Dove, one of the other apprentices hands him a broken crucible as a prank, it results in an accident that disfigures his hand and thus ends his career as a silversmith. Tremain tries to find a job, and finds one with his best friend Rab as a newspaper…

    The theme of “The Bass, The River, and Sheila Mant” is that it’s hard to truly love to different things with all your heart equally. You see this even in the first statement to a point, “There was a summer in my life when the only creature that seemed lovelier than a largemouth bass was Sheila Mant.” Also we see this when Sheila says “I think fishing is dumb…” when the main character clearly loves fishing more than anything except maybe Sheila herself. Right after that he decides that ,for at least the time being, Sheila is more important than fishing and so he starts to put his rod away when the biggest bass he’s ever seen gets snagged. This is the main conflict and where I believe we see the theme clearest as our main character struggling…

    William Carlos Williams has a tendency to hyperbolize and glorify objects in order to demonstrate their importance to the functioning of human society. This is done to the effect of creating “unsung heroes” out of everyday objects and encourages the reader to understand the value of little things in all situations. Interestingly, he does all of this without personifying his subjects. In “The Great Figure”, Williams describes a fire truck rushing down an urban street in the rain to put out a fire. In “Red Wheelbarrow”, Williams fondly describes how “so much depends/upon/a red wheel/barrow” (Williams). Since both poems are quite brief, one must not only look at the words being used, but the poetic structure itself to find the meanings both works have in common.…

    Pop songs have a way of conveying a lot of themes and messages throughout the song, such as having strength through loss and pain. “Superheroes”, a well known pop song, by The Script, shows the themes of perseverance and empowerment, and how to get through the hard times in life. In a way, this relates to the protagonist of “Raymond’s Run” written by Toni Cade Bambara, Squeaky, who deals with a lot of hardships in life, for though “all the kicks and all the blows/ he won't ever let it show” At an early age, she is dealt with the burden of taking care of her mentally disabled older brother, and is also going through troubled times as she feels the sting of the disappointment from her mother for not “acting more like a girl for a change”.

    THEMES Adam Bede

    • 912 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Eliot contrasts inner and outer beauty throughout the novel to express the idea that external and internal realities do not always correspond. Although Hetty is more physically beautiful than Dinah, she is cold and ugly inside. Hetty’s outer beauty masks her inner ugliness, especially to Captain Donnithorne and Adam. Even when Hetty cries or is angry, she still appears lovely to both men. Adam is so blinded by Hetty’s appearance that he often misinterprets her tears and excitement as love for him. Hetty’s outer beauty also blinds Captain Donnithorne such that he loses control when she cries and he kisses her. Unlike Hetty, Dinah has an inner beauty because she helps and cares for those around her. She comforts Lisbeth through the mourning of her dead husband, and Adam takes notice of this. Adam does not think Dinah is as physically beautiful as Hetty, but he is drawn to her love and mission to help those around her. His feelings for Dinah change after he witnesses Dinah consoling Hetty, and Adam begins to see Dinah as outwardly beautiful. Eliot’s description of the natural beauty of the English countryside also shows the contrast between internal and external beauty. On the day Hetty wanders off to find Captain Donnithorne, the day is beautiful and the countryside is magnificent. However, Hetty suffers enormously under the weight of her plight. Eliot uses this contrast to encourage the reader to look beyond the surface and explore a deeper meaning.…
