Wings Of Forgiveness India Arie Analysis
India Arie Reinforcement
India Arie, in her song, “Wings of Forgiveness,” illustrates how she forgives her presumably ex-boyfriend for a complication that occurred in their relationship. Arie commences her song with parallelism as she sings the lyrics, “I just want you to know that after everything that we’ve been through, I just want you to know that I still love you, that I still love you, yeah.” to demonstrate that the several parts of the sentence are equal in importance. Arie uses this in order to accentuate the message that she is willing to pardon those who hurt her and move on with her life. The parallelism functions to emphasize Arie’s forgiving nature while also initiating the mood of the rest of the song. India Arie utilizes inference

    Atul Gawande: Letting Go

    In the article “Letting Go” that was being published in The New Yorker, Atul Gawande addresses the issues regarding to the current medical care system that fails to meet the needs of the patients with terminal illness. Gawande points out that the patients want to spend more quality time with their family members and having some special last moments rather than struggling to stay alive when they know that the chances are thin. Knowing the time to let go was one of the crucial part of the art of dying which people nowadays has forgotten. Gawande argues that choosing the hospice care would sometimes be a better choice for the terminally ill patients. He uses statistics such that the patients that choose hospice lives longer or than other patients and they tend to suffer lesser to support his argument. Hospice care tends to go with less pain treatment and focuses on the needs of the patients. It increases the quality of life of the patients during the last moments of their live. The patients’ family members are less likely to suffer from depression when they have chosen to go with the hospice care mainly because they have prepared themselves to face the death of the patient when time has come.…

    Indian Givers Chapter Summary

    Who really created or discovered the Americas? Many believe Colombus, many believe Lewis and Clark, some believe the Indians or Natives. Whichever the reader does believe is besides the point when The Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World written by the the anthropologist, Jack Weatherford goes in depth about the huge effect Indians have put on our cultural, societal, political practices as well as many agricultural products may not have been produced without the knowledge that Indians put forth into the world. This book also touches on the Indian Givers, who they were and what they did. An Indian Giver is commonly used as an American expression to describe a person who gives a gift and later wants it back, or something equivalent in return. Weatherford's most obvious purpose is to demonstrate that the Native Americans have…

    Se Quay Song Analyse

    I enjoy listening to this song anyways as it is in my native language and one of my top childhood songs. The song is about a couple who is in love with each other but when the guy has to leave for the US, they broke up. He later returns and the love is still there. This is a very cute story and I love singing the lyrics that describes his feelings for her as he was away. If I broke up and get back together with my boyfriend, I would want this to be our scenario, that we broke up and got back together because of distance or circumstances, not because we wanted this. I also love how there are english lyrics sung with deep emotion in the song: “I will be back for you.” The music video for the song is also very heartwarming and brings a smile to my face whenever I think of it. If I got back together with my ex, I could listen to this song to remind me of my feelings for him. This song is a great song that evokes strong emotions from me and makes me think about love and how strong it is to overcome lots.…

    Anindian Father's Plea Analysis

    People would argue that culture doesn't affect peoples perspectives on the world. Which in some cases are true, people to break out of their future and develop their own views on the world. Not only on how they feel the world but how they see each other as humans. In " AnIndian father's plea" he said in his letter to the teacher " is not culturally disadvantaged, but he is culturally different." (Robert Lake). The sun when we didn't know much about the American culture, but I'm certain that his perspectives on the world change and so did his peers. At the end of the letter Wind-Wolfs father said "my son, wind-wolf, is not an empty glass coming into your class to be filled. He is a full basket coming into a different environment and society…

    First, I found a connection with the poem “I Am Offering This Poem” and song “All of Me” by John Legend. In “I Am Offering This Poem” Jimmy Santiago Baca writes, “I have nothing else to give you.” In this poem the poet has nothing else left to give her because he gave her all his love in the poem. In the song “All of Me” by John Legend, he sings, “Cause all…

    Platonic Love Ap Language

    When placed at the end of a sentence, the pause can also inspire a feeling of melancholy longing. The pause is sometimes used to represent an intentional silence, perhaps indicating irritation, dismay, shock or disgust. This rhetorical device where a sentence is stopped short, is not because of interruption, but is because of the speaker is too emotional to continue. She is sobbing. In Stanza 2, Line 2, there is a pause before the word apart to emphasize the distance between the persona and her lover. The word “distance” here is not the physical distance or space between two persons, but it implies the emotional distance or the different mindset of her and her lover toward love. In Stanza 3, the persona says her lover had the opportunity to have her. In Line 6 after the dash, the persona reveals the reasons she rejects her lover. Her lover wore his heart on a sleeve means that he expresses his emotions and desires directly. For her, that way of expressing love is not poetic and romantic. In Stanza 5, Line 5 the pause before somehow implies that the persona is considering and thinking about the relationship. She stops sobbing. She sighs and says the word somehow by showing her depression and despair toward the relationship. The persona is reluctant to leave her lover, and now shows that she has accepted the…

    Forgiveness By June Callwood Analysis

    Some people may say that all wrongdoers do not deserve a pardon and must be punished immediately. While others may say it depends on the weight of the wrong doing; simple mistakes are tolerable, but serious crimes are unforgivable. However, some people will mention the cliché, “forgive and forget” (saying). Whoever created this saying has to explain the meaning of it because the logic is unclear. Did the saying’s author use the word “forget” because it rhymes with the word “forgive”, or because people need to literally forget the crime that others did to them? It sounds impossible because the human brain does not have a delete memory feature. Maybe the saying has a deeper meaning. Many people in the World Wide Web are arguing about it because…

    Poetry Explication of "Getting Through"

    The poetic tone of the lyrics in “Getting Through” expresses the inescapable crushed and drawn-out feeling of heartbreak, while also hinting at its refusal to become extinct. “So I go on loving you,…” informs the reader that the heartbroken speaker is confronting the source of his or her pain (14). Unlike many narrators addressing the subject, this crushed soul is not begging to be taken back, but instead wants the oblivious cause to be aware of the uncontrollable and persistent love felt toward him and the torturous pain that has resulted. Unfortunately, as anyone who has ever had their heart broken knows, these words are futile as they go “…hurtling past,/ like a train off its track/ toward a boarded-up station,” (18-20). The speaker knows that this admission of love will not change anything, yet she still feels the need to express herself. There are no hints of hope or of a change of heart. In fact, it seems like the heart has been broken for quite a long time since there is a “deepening skin” of dust and the heart of the recipient is compared to “…a boarded-up station,/ closed for years,” (12, 20-21). The refusal, or possibly the inability, to move…

    Afire Love Analysis

    There is a certain pain that is felt whenever a loved one passes. Beyond sadness, it is hurt, it is anger, it is confusion, and an almost unidentifiable emptiness where the lungs should be. People who have not experienced such loss have a happy, if hazy, view of the world. Then, there are those who lose someone… a major someone... so very special. They do eventually move on, but the pain alters them forever. Ed Sheeran, in the song “Afire Love,” illustrates how the loss of an individual can impact everyone around them, young and old.…

    Frederic Douglas Slave Songs

    The lyrics of songs inspire people to think and do many things. Today, songs expressing the quality of being beautiful and important in society can be found. Songs encouraging love and taking chances within oneself and others are listened to. None the less, there exists songs expressing hatred, anger, sorrow, and feelings of desolation. Lyrics are limitless, they simply express that of the person's internal emotions. Songs can convey a misunderstanding or an unclear interpretation. Much like the lyrics of today, slave songs conveyed a deep and heart-wrenching message, that to many listeners, were never quite understood. Songs are simply an expression of truth. In an environment which otherwise punished truth, slave songs were a subversive way to communicate the truthfulness of both sorrow and refusal to abandon hope. In Douglas' narrative the slave songs express the hatred of slavery, dehumanization of the victims, and were often misinterpreted by Northerners.…
