Stereotypes: A Commercial Analysis
I decided to collect a wide array of sounds by leaving my phone on record while a friend and I were watching television. While watching television an interesting commercial come on and I thought it would be cool to play with that sound. The commercial was an advertisement for McDonalds and they were talking about how cheap their food is. I was about to collect a lot of sounds, but this one stood out to me the most, so I emphasized on it. Compositionally, I wanted this etude to seem like a voice in someone’s head, assuring themselves that they are fine. I wanted to convey this message while using the structure used for songs, with a beginning, middle, and end. The etude begins with the person telling themselves thay they are fine, but as

    In music, I compare my troubles and tribulations with the lyrics. Towards the middle of the piece, it begins to build up. When I was around 9 years old, my mom passed away from failure to receive a liver transplant. This hit my family hard and to this day, we are still haunted by the day God took her away. Since this is the middle of the piece, it's starting to have emotion and deep feelings within it. Anger, hurt, and sorrow was what I was feeling when my mom passed away. I was confused and mad at the world. I didn't quite understand why people had to die since I was only 9 after all. There was always a question of why and to this day, there still is.…

    We all have encountered some type of stereotype or prejudices. A stereotype that I had to face was age prejudice by me being so young sometimes people don't set the high expectations for you that other people would at an older age because they expect for you to make mistakes. At times my mindset isn't where most kids are at my age. I skipped pre k and I am supposed to be in the 8th grade. When I tell people my age they be like " OMG you are young to be the grade that you are in" this is a perfect example of what I am stating that people sometimes think that you have to be average and can't go over and beyond your years.…

    Nina Simone

    In this performance she sings of a life with no material possessions, no family, and no love. The song starts out somber and it makes me feel sad and I wonder if I picked the right song to write this paper on. I feel myself relating to her woes, even though I have everything I need in life. I pay close attention to the people in the audience and notice that all of them are fixated on Ms. Simone. They know they are in the presence of an amazing performance and are hanging off of every word that is coming out of her mouth. I also notice the pain in her face and in her voice. She is literally putting all of her being behind every word and making the audience feel those emotions with her. As time goes by she moves on from singing about all that she doesn’t have to all that she does, which is her body and mind. The tempo changes and becomes more lively and joyous. I find myself bursting with happiness because these lyrics are making me feel grateful for being healthy and able bodied. Ms. Simone sings of having her nose, arms, legs, mouth, brain, liver, and life. She makes the listener become grateful for the little things in life. I can tell the audience is happy with the change in lyrics as well and I feel that the audience wants to get up and dance with joy. Towards the end of the song Ms. Simone is smiling, which causes me to smile as well.…

    Public speakers can change societies by changing their way of thinking and/or giving a certain group a voice. Martin Luther King Jr. led the famous "million man march" and was one of the main figures that gave the African-Americans a voice during the Civil Rights movement. The infamous Adolf Hitler made an entire country believe his xenophobic ideology that the Jewish people were the reason were to blame for Germany's impoverished state. Even Socrates changed the way of Greek thinking altogether by introducing a new of way of thinking known as logos.

    As times change so does the opinions of individuals. There have been many times where my opinion has changed for what I believe is a more educated perspective. For the majority of my parents life, they grew up in the North East. They eventually moved to Florida in the mid 90's and had me. I was born and raised in Florida, a southern state that is not considered to have a stereotypical southern opinion. I never saw the effect of a confederate flag. Of course you learn about the flag and the civil war in school, but that doesn't teach you the personal symbolism some have with the flag. I never cared about the confederate flag, it wasn't something I saw other than on the occasional car or shirt. As I got older I became a person who liked to try…
