Imagine a song that reminds you of the early Saturday mornings where you sat staring at the television screen watching one your favorite cartoons as everyone in your house is fast asleep. Now imagine that you're an adult, you're stressed out, attempting to balance your responsibilities and trying to figure out what the heck to do with your life. You sit at your work desk staring at the computer, you're longing to be a kid again, young, free-spirited, free of worries and ready to take on the world and make it a better place. Now imagine a song that brings both your childhood and present worlds together and allows you to be your inner-superhero and conquer the world-that song for me is “Wonderful Everyday: Arthur” by Chance the Rapper and The Social Experiment. …show more content…

    It is important to determine whether or not the author is credible when it comes to reading reviews or essay articles. The first thing that is noticeable about this essay was that it is more of a summary than an analytical article. There also is no information or credentials of the author listed, making me question his writing from the beginning. He fails to demonstrate common knowledge dealing with the mechanics of writing and useful information concerning the text itself. There are multiple ways to find out if the article comes from someone of adequate intelligence in dealing with the subject matter. The free essay on Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use” exemplifies poor ethos by demonstrating a lack of credentials, the ignorance of the author about the audience, and the carelessness of the writer.…

    The song “Mad World,” originally written and composed in F#m by the English synth-pop band Tears for Fears is an incredibly melancholy yet upbeat song. “Mad World,” has been covered by an abundance of artists, although the most unusual and differing cover compared to the original is that of the version by the singer and songwriter Gary Jules. Gary Jules composed and recorded the cover, written in the key of Eb for the soundtrack of Donnie Darko, a movie where the detached sadness of the song’s lyrics is truly represented. Gary Jules’ take is incredibly stripped down and gentle, embracing the melancholy nature of the song which the original does not capture fully within its sound. The two songs compared have very few similarities whilst the…
