Mark Foster Song Analysis
In the beginning of the song Mark Foster seems depressed and under the weather but in the middle of the song he gets a little bit energetic while singing. At first , you don’t think this song is about a school shooting and you can be the happiest person in this world but you can not sing this song with a smile . The vibe in the music video is mellow and slow. People were dancing slow and the singer was moving slow too this song isn't meant for jumping around and dancing fast .

    The song “Thinkin ‘Bout You” by Frank Ocean pertains deeply to how he feels about Jane Gallagher. For an example, Holden persistently calls Jane his friend, but never tells the reader how he really feels about her. He says, “...We'd get into a goddam movie or something, and right away we'd start holding hands, and we wouldn't quit till the movie was over. And without changing the position or making a big deal out of it. You never even worried, with Jane, whether your hand was sweaty or not. All you knew was, you were happy. You really were.” Salinger 80). Holden’s feelings for Jane shine through from his personality in his little confession in his mind.

    Bechdel's Song Analysis

    My song order is based on the chronological order of the book. Since Bechdel spread out certain events through multiple chapters, I did my best to follow along in order. However, certain events that are discussed in a song may have been brought up earlier in the book than in the playlist. Bechdel’s chapters are very broad and although each one has a main topic, they branch out into other ones as well. This is what I tried to do with the playlist. I also tried to keep what I thought were the key points of the graphic novel spread throughout the playlist. For example, her father’s death is focused on in more than one song, as it is focused on in more than one chapter in the graphic…

We also see that Justyce the main protagonist, goes through his fair share of injustice and brutality by police. According to the text, “I did the math when I got back to my room there were 192 years between the Declaration of Independence and the end of all that Jim Crow stuff.…

    I have a very deep understanding of this song because “I hope you dance” has helped me through some extremely difficult times. I was homeless at the age of sixteen and ready to give up on the world when I first heard this song playing over the radio. With the help of Sillers words I was able to find the inspiration inside myself and keep going to school even if it meant sacrificing a day of pay from missing work. I knew that although things would be extremely difficult to attempt to be able to work enough hours to get my own place and attend high school on a regular basis, but with the help of her words I found the motivation within myself to give it my all. After three months I had saved enough money for the deposit and first month’s rent and my grades we’re decent enough for me to graduate on time with the rest of my peer’s. Now that I am more stable things have become less difficult, but whenever I am having a hard…

    Overall the music in the film is alike to the music of any other thriller, yet you can’t do anything else but think of it as being a little cheesy. In particular a chasing scene set up as the typical vulnerable person running away from the killer. The music seems at first to just signify the suspense of what is to come, but then as the beat gets faster the camera zooms in on each character, in particular they zoomed in on Nick’s feet which seemed only comical when viewing the scene. The intention was most likely to demonstrate the though like attitude of Nick, but in this case it seemed a little too…

    “Lost Sister,” by Cathy Song presents the universal struggle that women face in finding who they are in society as observed in two different environments. The difference in environments helps Song's initial sense of helplessness created by using China and the inclusive term they as what is familiar and safe, and juxtaposes it with the use of you that creates a loneliness in the unfamiliarity that America represents in order to focus on lost and sister in correlation to these environments; however, it's through awareness that Song also presents hope in this poem.…
