Katy Perry's Roar
First, “Roar” by Katy Perry shows a mood of empowered and dominant is developed similar to the mood displayed in Life of Pi. The mood is shown through Pi’s dialogue. For instance, “I looked at Richard Parker. My panic was gone. My fear was dominated. Survival was at hand.” (Martel, Life of Pi). This dialogue directly shows that Pi has empowered his fear of Richard Parker and he took control of his survival on the lifeboat, in which he was left behind with after a devastating storm. With Pi conquering his fear of Richard Parker, it develops a mood of empowerment. In the song “Roar”, Katy Perry mentions “You held me down, but I got up (HEY!) Already brushing off the dust. You hear my voice, you hear that sound. Like thunder gonna shake the ground.

    Amber Ordoway's The Giver

    Amber Ordoway had known for quite a while that she wasn't attracted to guys, but she hadn't told anyone. It wasn't out of fear of being ridiculed or seen as some sort of show, it was simply because it was no one's god damn business. But finally, at the first party of junior year she came out of the closet, metaphorically of course. It had all happened because of one Matthew Jonas, a sleazy senior guy who probably should've known better than to hit on her.…

    Roll Of Thunder: Hear My Cry

    1. The setting for the short novel, Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry, is in the state of Mississippi, in the early 1930’s, which means that it is right during the middle of the Great Depression. I believe the setting is very important to the book because in Mississippi during those times there was a lot of racism and racial segregation, the African Americans people could not do the same things that Caucasian, white people could do. Also the setting is important because if they author had put the book set in a place like New York City the racism would not be the same as if she set the book in a place like Mississippi or really anywhere in the South. In addition the setting is important because if it had been set in the…

    Anthem By Gabrielle Trede

    “It is a sin to write this.” begins the story of Anthem. By the end of the story, Equality 7-2521 has a different moral assessment of his actions, but was the eventual assessment of his actions correct? His eventual evaluation being that of seeing this as a breaking of bonds with collectivity, an achievable freedom and disregard of the Council. In all terms, this judgment is correct, indifferent to the few flaws it may have. This can be proven through evidence from the book.…

    Drift by Rachel Maddow

    Rachel Maddow makes the argument of how America has been rising to a state of military power through her wit and humor, just like her television news show. The appeal of Rachel Maddow lies in her ratio of comedian to wonk. On TV, she dives into charts and graphs and long, winding fact trails, unafraid of “geeking out” because she can depend on her funniness to save her. She connects the dots from fact to fact, or statistic to policy, and along the way a parachute of jokes opens.…

    Pretty in Pink

    Pretty in Pink is essentially a love story about a girl from the wrong side of the tracks, the rich high school hunk who has his eye on her, and the peer pressure that threatens their budding romance. Molly Ringwald plays the character of Andie Walsh, an unpopular poor girl living in the shabbier side of town. Andrew McCarthy portrays the role of Blane McDonnagh, a wealthy heartthrob who asks her out to the prom. As their romance evolves, both characters struggle with increasing pressure from their peers whom are unsupportive of the relationship mostly because of the difference in social class. This, however, doesn't necessarily hold true for two of the characters whose objections appear to derive from other motives. Blane's friend Steff (James Spader) is more outraged with the fact Andie has repeatedly turned down his amorous attempts, than with her lack of money. While Andie's best friend "Duckie" (Jon Cryer) is so in love with her that a Prince with a Harvard degree who dedicates his life to charitable work would not have made the cut. Although the main characters are both initially cautious if not almost secretive about their relationship, Andie steps up to the plate and the pressure, even ending her friendship with Duckie for the sake of love. However, Blane, who receives the majority of the flak because he is the one with the "most at stake", caves in to the stress of it all and breaks off their prom date. Despite his strong feelings for her, the prom is an announcement to his friends, peers, and the entire school that this is his girl; a "nobody" and he just can't bring himself to do it. When Andie and Duckie enter the prom hand in hand, both Blane and Steff immediately take notice. Steff embarks in one last desperate attempt to mock Andie, but Blane has had enough of him already! Brushing him off, he walks up to Andie and declares his love for her and all is right with the world again.…

    Life Of Pi Rhetorical Analysis

    This is where the beautiful allegory comes into play. On a surface level, Richard Parker is dangerous because of the simple fact he is a huge 450-pound tiger. He can physically harm Pi “limb to limb, organ by organ” (158) with his massive teeth and claws. On a deeper level, Richard Parker is metaphorically Pi himself. Martel allegorically comments on humanity and life here say that you are your biggest tempter. You must believe in yourself in order to pursue on in life’s journeys or else you have no reason to keep moving forward. Perhaps this is why Pi created the animal story. After telling the Japanese men the two stories, Pi asks them which story they preferred. They both answered “the story with the animals” (317). Why? The story with the animals is more pleasant and meaningful. It is easier to take in than the awful and blunt nonfictional story. Although on both literal and metaphorical senses Pi makes the archetypal decision to survive, in the story with the animals it is as if Pi has more of a purpose of living because of Richard Parker. He rationalizes that in order to survive he must tame Richard Parker so he will not eat Pi. In an allegorical sense, Pi has to tame himself to no eat away at this physical and emotional mind or else he will die. This gives him life in a sense. In one scene Pi and Richard Parker find themselves in a very intense storm. Pi describes the lightning they see and how “that close encounter with electrocution and third-degree burns as one of the few times during his (sic.) ordeal when he felt genuine happiness” (233). The reason he feels happiness is because the lightning represents life. It is as if a breathe of fresh air is overcoming him through lightning, and its beautiful. It gives him hope and inspiration. Through Richard Parker and “breathes of life” like the lightning Pi finally finds things worth living for which, through the help of God, keeps him…

    The It Girl - Clara Bow

    Imagine it – all the rules you were raised to follow, all the beliefs and norms, everything conventional, shattered. Now imagine It – Clara Bow, the It Girl. The epitome of the avant-garde woman, the archetype of the flapper, was America's new, young movie actress of the 1920's. Modern women of the day took heed to Bow's fresh style and, in turn, yielded danger to the conventional America. Yet Bow's contagious and popular attitude came with its weaknesses - dealing with fame and the motion picture industry in the 1920's. Despite this ultimate downfall, Clara's flair reformed the youth and motion pictures of her time.…

    house of usher

    Art, since the very beginning, exists as an outlet of emotional and physical feelings for our species ever since cavemen learned to draw on walls. Poets, authors, singers, and every form of artist have been portraying the emotions through canvases and words that a meager simple minded person cannot begin to express through his vocabulary. Whether a screenwriter describing a scene of love at first sight or a painter using his mixture of colors to show his whole life story through a few strokes, generations and generations of audiences have felt a range of emotions all because of the genius and creativity of one’s mind. Edgar Allan Poe, a nineteenth century author and poet, and his writing often consists of death and despair, emotions that few dare to try to explore or think about it. His incredible eye for dramatic descriptions creates a life-like story of somber and decay in his short story “The Fall of the House of Usher.” Poe’s use of every detailed feeling and visual imagery conveys the gradual, yet inevitable mental and physical demise of not only Rodrick, but also the fall of the House, and contributes to the fearful and enigmatic feeling the story gives the reader.…

In the story We’re Not by Andrea Roman, author mentions that her parents could not understand certain unacceptable actions in their culture were acceptable to practice in the United States.

    Raymonds Run Themes

    Pop songs have a way of conveying a lot of themes and messages throughout the song, such as having strength through loss and pain. “Superheroes”, a well known pop song, by The Script, shows the themes of perseverance and empowerment, and how to get through the hard times in life. In a way, this relates to the protagonist of “Raymond’s Run” written by Toni Cade Bambara, Squeaky, who deals with a lot of hardships in life, for though “all the kicks and all the blows/ he won't ever let it show” At an early age, she is dealt with the burden of taking care of her mentally disabled older brother, and is also going through troubled times as she feels the sting of the disappointment from her mother for not “acting more like a girl for a change”.
