    The poem sets the tone at the second line with “I could feel the devil's handprints around my neck” indicating the tone would be dismal and satanic from the beginning. The theme is how fear can torment someone and feel as if someone is trapped in an inescapable, infinite loop of despair. I picked the tone and theme of this poem because Paul goes through many internal struggles within Tangerine. I personally have somewhat of a connection to the poem, when I was still in elementary school I was hurt by my two older brothers by playing games such as “red dots”. I felt like I would be tortured to no end especially when my parents failed to help me.…

    Identity, the one thing that we all have in common, Identity feeds on peers influences & recklessness, one's identity is shaped by the negligence of others & can leave you shattered & torn. ‘Scar’ by Missy Higgins demonstrates identity throughout the song, the lyrics are influential upon my understanding because they insight a message, she wants the listener to feel her pain to take grasp of the reality that is sadly more apparent than one might think.…

    We are a generation raised on pop culture and diversity: we are not afraid to change therefor our opinions and actions differ from those born before us. The narrorator in the song "bruno is an orange" has the stress of an overbearing mother and judgemental society which is something our generation is forced to constantly deal with. This song has a sense of nessesity that ebbs from the words; her lover makers her whole, being with him is a cathartic exerience but no one will look past the veil that has unconsiously blinded them. We face this daily, we are either to young to understand or are judged for what we believe. We face constant paranoia hoping our decisions meet everyones specks but it rarely does. This song does not just represent my…

    The lyrics in the songs opening contain very soft, gentle imagery of things like angels and floating feathers "in a beautiful world." Contrast is then created through the use of obscenity and a change from poetic language into blunt speech ("What the hell am I doing here?") This contrast heightens the impact the persona's anger and frustration over not belonging has upon listeners, emphasising how strongly he has been emotionally affected by it. [That contrast is much greater, by the way, when you listen to the scala & kolacny brothers choir sing it because they're children and their voices are so angelic, contributing to the angelic imagery in the lyrics]…

    “It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after your own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keep with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.” (Pg. 23) The worlds opinion is strong but The Anthem is Good Charlotte’s way of saying I will stay independent, even though you’ve told me what to do. Repetition is a way of conforming. When you do the same thing day in and day out you aren’t thinking of the future, you’re trying to stay where you are. Be crazy and misunderstood, the misunderstood of today is the genius of tomorrow.…

    When he went to go visit his grandmother and the moustache made her think of the past and all her regrets. In the text it states “I still say a seventeen-year-old has no business wearing a moustache...but I also had learned to like it.” (Cormier 1). This piece of evidence relates to my theme because at first, Mike was just growing a moustache as an experience to see if he can grow one and he successfully did. He liked how it looked on him so he wanted to keep it. Even thought he liked it, his mother and many other people didn’t and it started to affect him. Relating to this, the song “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” by Poison explains that every beautiful thing has a dark side but not everyone might notice it. In the text it says “Every rose has its thorn/Just like every night has its dawn/Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song/Every rose has its thorn” (Poison 10-13). The chorus of this song relates to my theme because the artist’s voice was power and had a lot of persuasion which made me think that what the lyrics actually mean when they are put together. This meant that when you first seem something you think it very pretty but then you notice the one bad part of it or you notice the one…

    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”.
