Ain T No Rest For The Wicked Analysis
Ain't No Rest For The Wicked - Cage The Elephant. Ain't No Rest For The Wicked is a good song choice for this book for may reasons. The song parallels the struggle people in the reservation go through to get money. I think the song message about how poverty affects people gives a nod to poverty and lack of resources in the Spokane Reservation and how Junior sees that affects people’s mindset. Also, the light situational humor of the song matches up with the humor found in Sherman’s book
Rose Golden- Kid Cudi. Rose golden by Kid Cudi is great song for our main character, Junior. Rose Golden focuses on how systems failed him and he had to find the strength in himself to continue to push for a better life. This

    Dave Egger’s memoir, A Heart Breaking Work of Staggering Genius, takes a bold plunge into experimental literary techniques. His story of raising his kid brother, Toph, after the death of their parents is crafted at a new and unique level of post-modernism. This interplay that Eggers creates between his text and the audience became the model of joint attention and the double-audience position in the article “Affect and artifice in cognitive literary theory”, by Merja Polvinen. Polvinen argues in the article that the author’s, Eggers, commentary on, the narrator’s, Dave, actions does not remove the reader, and thus their empathy, from the situation, but allows for them to take in both worlds simultaneously, and create emotional reactions to…

    The song “All I Want” by Kodaline refers to Holden’s feelings toward Phoebe near the end of the book. For example, when Holden is delusional, he thinks he is going to die of pneumonia and says, “...so finally what I figured I’d do, I figured I’d better sneak home and see her, in case I died and all” (Salinger 156). Holden’s one wish before he dies (or so he thinks) was to go see his kid sister Phoebe. Holden has a very close relationship with his sister, and they are both very fond of the other. This mindset is displayed by the members of Kodaline when they sing “‘cause if I could see your face once more/ I could die a happy man I’m sure” (Kodaline). While “All I Want” is admittedly about a romantic relationship and not one of a sibling nature,…
