Beowulf stated to Hrothgar “That I‚ alone and with the help of my men‚ may purge all evil from this hall.” (line 260).

Assignment 3: The Song of Roland The adjective ‘brave’ is defined as “possessing or exhibiting courage or courageous endurance‚” “making a fine appearance‚” or “excellent; fine; admirable.” Though Charlemagne’s nephew Roland foolhardily led himself and warriors to their deaths he showed a great amount of courage‚ honor‚ and confidence throughout his leadership of the troops till his demise.

The song Rong Radio song by Benjamin Zephaniah was very interesting‚ and effective bringing up important issues that are all over the world‚ in very few words. I found this song interesting because it made me consider‚ how know matter where we live or who we are‚ we are still vulnerable to hear‚ see‚ read and write stereotypes and racism about ourselves and others. “I was beginning to believe that all black men are bad men.” -This shows us that sometimes when we are being influenced to believe

"It’s not really about a blackbird whose wings are broken‚ you know‚ it’s a bit more symbolic” (Paul McCartney.) That very quote goes on to let you know that the song does‚ in fact‚ mean more than what it had seemed (or to me at least.)

This song is about a woman who is a tease. The woman will kiss the man and even turn them on but will have nothing else to do with them.

My favorite historic song is the song cold war. The artist of the song is the rapper Lil B‚ the song is about basically african americans dying to try to impress others instead of being themselves.

The most powerful lyric throughout

My Meaningful Song Do you have a song that has a deeper meaning then just another song that comes on the radio? Well I believe that most everyone does one way or another.

I would like to give a little background on my grandfather. At least what I remember of him because

In the song ‘Zombie’ by The Cranberries‚ it has a story behind it like many other songs. The singer‚ who also happened to be the songwriter‚ is named Dolores O’Riordan.
