Just Who I Am Poem Analysis
I am doing this review over the album Just Who I am, by Kenny Chesney.
1. This album overall as a whole is definitely fresh and divergent because in Kenny Chesney’s previous album’s he is talking more about his college and partying days when he was less mature. As he grew up, his music did as well. He started to write songs such as “Don’t Blink” and “Better as a Memory” which are both talking about how time flies by and how it is a great memory as he gets older. In his older album he has songs such as “Keg in the closet” and “When the Sun Goes Down” that are talking about partying and his younger days.
2. The song “Being Drunk Is a Lot like loving you” is a prime example of how Kenny Chesney’s music has progressed throughout his career. He

    a teenager (http://allhiphop.com/2012/05/15/jhene-aiko-talks-signing-with-no-i-d-working-with-the-weeknds-producers-why-she-left-chris-stokes-t-u-g-camp/). She has silky and compassionate vocals that her fans can easily identify. DeVaughn, R. (2012, November 5) Telephone interview. In the song “Stranger,” from her mixtape “Sailing Souls,” Jhene suggests that the main character acts like a stranger in their relationship, a familiar feeling she’s had in other relationships. This song explores the idea that a person can think they know someone’s personality really well and then that same person acts differently to cause the relationship to feel unfamiliar. For this reason, I believe the song “Stranger” takes you on a journey through the ups and downs of her relationship with the main character. This allows the listener to experience the emotions of the song through diction, figurative language, and repetition.…

    Both swallowed in their job, the janitor in “Jorge the Church Janitor Finally Quits” by Martin Espada and the secretary in “The Secretary Chant” by Marge Piercy feel unappreciated and lost as employees.

    This week's readings involved introductions to problems faced by the Chicano community. It depicts how far back these cultural problems have arose and how the community continues to struggle and overcome it. For example, in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, it is a historical document stating peace, friendship, limits, and settlement for the people of Mexico and the United States. This treaty was drafted in 1848, which ended the Mexican-American War, in hopes for a better relationship between the two countries. In contrast, in the poem, I am Joaquin, the poet brings light how the treaty is broken and how the Chicano people and all people represented in the poem are oppressed socially, economically, culturally, and politically, by the "Gabachos".…

    The song “Kevin by Macklemore, Ryan Lewis, and Leon Bridges, was in my opinion incredibly gloomy. First finding out that Kevin and Macklemore where drug addict was the first shocker. The song, per se did not declare Macklemore as an addict, but the context in the song told otherwise. Also it was sad finding out that Kevin died from overdose most likely, while Macklemore is still alive to see a friend die and from the song this was not the first or last death of a friend he would see. Now with friends that were with him dying from most likely drug abuse, Macklemore created for those who have a drug addiction so one could suffer the same pain he is feeling.…

    All though my parents never got a divorce I feel a connection with different pieces of the song and I thoroughly enjoyed the way he expressed his emotions throughout the song in words I would have never thought of using. The song is very vocal with a quite instrumental background that ties it all together, he uses so much emotion and power in his singing that it’s hard not to feel the same emotions he is feeling in this song. He talks about his parents fighting and him trying to keep them together which I feel like most children have tried to do when their parents are fighting.…

    With the lyrics being chosen meticulously, each song's lyrics portray a story like no other. Also, the instrumentals complement the vocals in way that don’t seem out of place like much of today’s music. However, unlike currently trending songs, the album contains several traces of complexity within it that, when carefully analyzed, reveal more profound and convoluted messages. For instance, Slowtown is a perfect example of track that is easy to understand but is also complex. It starts off slow, like its name suggests, before quickly picking up speed to portray how life just flashes by in an instance. It is because of songs like these that helped the band gain traction a rapid rate in the music industry. A majority of their success is mainly attributed to being “spurred on by constant energetic touring, shrewd use of interactive social media, and connecting with fans on a grassroots level” (“Twenty One Pilots on Apple Music”). Not only did their involvement with their fans aid in varying the way they performed, but it also contributed to their experience when it came to composing even more amazing tracks. To boldly stand out from the crowd, this album utilizes its platform to convey a message that a plethora of youth can genuinely relate to on a personal…

    The works we studied within Creative Writing were all helpful in creating my own works to submit to the class. Throughout all of the reading, many of the works inspired me in different ways, whether it was short story plot ideas or word usage in the poems. While crafting my work for the final portfolio, I reviewed many of the poems from our poetry packet in an effort to find inspiration and to create new interesting images. I took the most inspiration for my formal poem, which I found most difficult to write. One of the poems that was most useful to me was Jilly Dybka’s “Memphis, 1976.” Dybka’s poem follows the sestina form; I also wrote my last poem in this form, so it helped to follow the form by looking at her poem as an example. Dybka’s…
