Butterfly Effect
Butterfly Effect is a great blend of literary devices including similes, symbolism,

and repetition. For instance, he speaks about his up and coming with these lyrics “ Drop

the top, play hide and seek.. Jump inside, jump straight up to the league” ( Butterfly Effect).

Those lyrics represent how he was thrown into the mix at a young age, basically forced

and pressured with that if he didn’t become famous, he would live a life of poverty.

Another example is “Bend laws, bend lanes.. Been bustin’ bills, but still ain’t nothin’

change.. You in the mob soon as you rock the chain” ( Butterfly Effect). That set of lyrics

represents that as soon as you become famous and rich, you have to continue with your

success and keep building on

    In the two novels The Butterfly Revolution and Lord of the Flies, both convey the themes corruptive nature of power and mankind's potential for evil. In the Butterfly Revolution, boys that age from ten to seven teen attend a summer camp named High Pines. The camp was delightful for the younger boys, but the older boys were not so entertained. The "big boys" were bored by games that they thought of as games for children (capture the flag, swimming, marshmallow roasts, baseball, etc.) The boys were separated into their cabins by their age. In these cabins, cabin leaders were chosen by the people who lived in the cabin. Frank Reilley, Stanley Runk, and Winston Weyn were a few of the main cabin leaders that stuck out to me. Frank Reilley and Stanley Runk, and Winston Weyn were a few of the main cabin leaders that stuck out to me. Frank Reilley and Stanley Runk were older boys who were sick of the camps' rules, and found themselves bored. They decided they were going to take over the camp, or start a "Revolution." They explained to their fellow camp attenders that it would be innocent, noone would get hurt, and that it was all for fun. That may have been the reason to start the Revolution, but it simply got out of hand. This represents the theme mankind's potential for evil. Frank Reilley and Stanley Runk soon became dictators instead of "Generals." Frank Reilley believes that Stanley Runk is a threat to the Revolution so he locks him in The Brig where the camp counselors and director of the camp were placed. The Brig was the punishment room, until Reilley and Runk decided it was now where they would be holding their captives. Cruel and unusual punishment was distributed to the people whom broke the rules of the revolution. At the end of this disaster, three people lost their lives and it could have been more if Manuel Rivaz would…

    “I wasn’t raised in the hood but I know a thing or two about pain and darkness. If it wasn’t for this music I don’t know how I would have fought this.” Since he was born in Ohio, he obviously wasn't raised in a place that was hard for him to grow up and live, but just because of that it doesn’t mean that he didn't know how hard life can be and because of those hard times he was able to write his music and save himself. “I’m in constant confrontation with what I want and what is poppin’ in the industry it seems to me that singles on the radio are currency mr creativity’s only free when I’m playin’ shows.”…

    Hip hop culture in general has nurtured a dualism within messages sent by lyrics. Nowhere was this duality more evident than the music of Tupac Shakur. As music reflected his reality and at times he’d reference women with derogatory terms, however he showed a level of responsibility with songs such as “Dear Mama” and “Brenda’s got a baby”. The lack of respect was noticed by many. Stress and the need to make a hit increased, he became a sex symbol along with a flock of “haters” trying to kill him. The flirtation with the materialistic trappings that the RAP game has to offer. “Forced laughter”(Shock-G), it was that Tupac was unhappy and this was speaks through his…

    This and the use of incorrect grammer, so common to rebellious teenagers, helps portray the message of the song, which is that today’s youth are prisoners of the older generations society, which alienate the younger generation and instead of looking for support and comfort, they thrive to rebel against these rules and law enforcement bodies, with the institution of society having no effect on the younger generation as they don’t comply and don’t want to reform. This creates the younger generations culture, arguing they are their own society.…

    Out of the many established Indie labels, I decided to research a trailblazer label in one of my favorite genres of music: Hip Hop. It only made sense to research Def Jam Recordings. In respect to the core of a Hip Hop song (i.e. verses that are often measured by “16 bars”), paired with the wow-factor of the artist (i.e. the lyrics), I respectfully assign the pseudonym 16 Lyrics for Def Jam throughout the duration of this paper. As Hip Hop appreciators and fans, when we reflect on the music of Run DMC, LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, Public Enemy and Jay-Z to name a few, we must recognize the vehicle in which these artist used to jumpstart their careers was 16 Lyrics.…

    The message Bradbury is trying convey is that even the smallest decision one makes, can be catastrophic to his/her future. Bradbury states that “...by stepping on one single mouse...you destroy a race, a people, an entire of history of life.” This explains the instigation of the “butterfly effect.” When in high school, for example, that one “F” you receive freshman year could make your dream college an impossible desire. Bradbury also writes, “...a small thing that could upset balances and knockdown a line of small dominoes, and then giant dominoes, all down the years across time...,” which demonstrates that the death of a single butterfly, as stated in the “butterfly effect,” drastically alters the future. In direct comparison, the moral…

    Where other songs sought only to reach out to the listener on an emotional level, whether through love, or anger, or anything else, this song was written to be an earworm that would inspire a nationwide change in the way music is considered, from kid Johnny who listened to his records and cassette tapes, to the fat cats on the top of the music industry who were seeking out only what was popular, the quick fashion for their profits. Whether this was a cover up by critics, or simply just to subtle for many to pick up on, this is an attitude that needs to change due to the true depth and meaning of this very catchy…

    “…There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about,” Lord Henry states to Basil who no longer seeks the hype of having a reputation as an artist. In this aphorism, Lord Henry tries to explain to Basil that throwing away his reputation isn’t worth it. As a human being, Lord Henry recognizes that the fame and such can all be overwhelming, especially when you start to hear whispers about you in the air. However when it comes down to it regardless of if the rumors are good or bad, most people crave for attention even when they claim they don’t. People for the most part feel like they have somewhat accomplished something by being highly recognize within the community. It is almost like a natural feeling that runs through every person. No one wants to be a deadbeat and to be spoken nothing of because no one wants to feel alone and invisible.…
