Toni Morrison begins her 1977 written novel: Song of Solomon in a very non traditional way that was different from most authors. Toni narrated her stories but introducing the incident. Some themes such as oral traditions‚naming‚ and especially flight are introduced in the first six pages and are further developed in a very similar format throughout the book. One of the incredible themes‚oral tradition‚ is used to retell events throughout the book in a consistent manner with the beginning. On the

Playing my Favorite Song One of my favourite songs is ‘Never Say Never’ by Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith. I know that you might be thinking that the main reason that I like this song is because it is sang by Justin Bieber‚ and if you are thinking that‚ you are wrong. I reckon that he is really famous‚ but I’m not in love with him just like all the other bunch of girls all around the world. The main reason that I like this song is because it brings back memories of my childhood. When I listen to

The song “Firework” by: Katy Perry has a lot of symbolism. With her beautiful voice‚ and to her amazing lyrics‚ people can really relate to what she is saying. From her lyrics in “Firework” I was able to pull out three lyrics that I think have the most symbolism. “Do you ever feel like a plastic bag‚ drifting through the wind wanting to start again?”‚ “Cause baby you’re a firework‚ come and let your colors burst”‚ and “You don’t have to feel like a wasted space‚ you’re original‚ cannot be replaced”

The two artifacts that we will be discussing are the original song “Can’t You See‚” by the Marshall Tucker Band‚ and the song that I parodied from its lyrics. The original song is classified in the genre of country rock. On the other hand the parody that I created would most likely fall under the genre of a comedic parody. I will mainly focus on how in the original artifact the hero just gives up all hope and accepts his fate right from the beginning‚ while the protagonists in the second one makes

and invisible‚ made me who I am today. This song is about the many scars Corey Taylor has‚ and how they came about. He tells the story in a raw way that makes you understand the pain of what he has gone through. “Made of Scars” by Stone Sour is a song many people can relate to because everyone has scars‚ inside or out‚ and oftentimes the ones that hurt the most are the ones no one can see‚ even if the visible scars look terribly painful. I love this song for many reasons‚ but the main idea I get

"A Subaltern’s Love Song" is a rhapsodic poem that details the poet’s real-life infatuation. Betjeman does not use the military definition of subaltern here‚ but instead is referring to someone in an inferior position. The author struggles‚ somewhat happily‚ against his love interest as she continually bests him at tennis. In Literature‚ poems can often be very difficult for one to comprehend and interpret the author’s perspective. Many people grew only being exposed to the basic “Roses are red

freedom‚ there are costs. Leaving ones family behind‚ or consequences of the escape. Nonetheless‚ it must have been done. In Toni Morrison’s novel Song of Solomon‚ she liberates us with this sense of flying and escape. The novel‚ Song of Solomon’s characters accept human flight as a natural occurrence‚ kind of like the folktale shows it‚ to liberation. Song of Solomon begins with a suicide attempt from an African American man. Instead of trying to get him down‚ people simply watch and observe rather

Men’s repeated abandonment of women in Song of Solomon shows that the novel’s female characters suffer a double burden. Not only are women oppressed by racism‚ but they must also pay the price for men’s freedom. Guitar tells Milkman that black men are the unacknowledged workhorses of humanity‚ but the novel’s events imply that black women more correctly fit this description. The scenes that describe women’s abandonment show that in the novel‚ men bear responsibility only for themselves‚ but women
