Dustin Marin Mrs.Oberste-Clark & Mrs. British Literature‚ 5th period 27 January 2014 Modern Beowulf Trapt – “Headstrong” When Beowulf first arrived into Herot‚ he was told stories about the depraved Grendel. Beowulf stated to Hrothgar “That I‚ alone and with the help of my men‚ may purge all evil from this hall.” (line 260). This is talking about how he is going to take on Grendel and purge him from the hall where he doesn’t belong because of his attacks. This relates exactly to the lyrics

Assignment 3: The Song of Roland The adjective ‘brave’ is defined as “possessing or exhibiting courage or courageous endurance‚” “making a fine appearance‚” or “excellent; fine; admirable.” Though Charlemagne’s nephew Roland foolhardily led himself and warriors to their deaths he showed a great amount of courage‚ honor‚ and confidence throughout his leadership of the troops till his demise.

the spirit of innovation‚ individuality and progress remains unchanged. The father of free verse‚ and perhaps the American perspective of poetry‚ Walt Whitman embodies these values in his life and work. First published in 1855 in Leaves of Grass‚ "Song of Myself" is a vision of a symbolic "I" enraptured by the senses‚ vicariously embracing all people and places from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. Sections 1 and 2‚ like the entirety of the piece‚ seek to reconcile the individual and the natural

The song Rong Radio song by Benjamin Zephaniah was very interesting‚ and effective bringing up important issues that are all over the world‚ in very few words. I found this song interesting because it made me consider‚ how know matter where we live or who we are‚ we are still vulnerable to hear‚ see‚ read and write stereotypes and racism about ourselves and others. “I was beginning to believe that all black men are bad men.” -This shows us that sometimes when we are being influenced to believe

My favorite historic song is the song cold war. The artist of the song is the rapper Lil B‚ the song is about basically african americans dying to try to impress others instead of being themselves.

My opinion on the artist Lil b is that he is a fun guy and he is funny but when it comes time to be serious he can come up to the table and make a decent song about issues. The most powerful lyric throughout

My Meaningful Song Do you have a song that has a deeper meaning then just another song that comes on the radio? Well I believe that most everyone does one way or another.

I would like to give a little background on my grandfather. At least what I remember of him because

In the song ‘Zombie’ by The Cranberries‚ it has a story behind it like many other songs. The singer‚ who also happened to be the songwriter‚ is named Dolores O’Riordan. In an interview‚ she stated she wrote this song in protest of how “... innocent people are being harmed.” She took a larger stand for that viewpoint after she witnessed a mother getting her child taken away during the IRA bombing and England and Ireland War. It impacted the singer emotionally; as a result‚ it motivated her to write
