Ain T It Fun By Paramore Analysis

The different groups of people within the poem represent the different stages of life. At the beginning of the poem it talks about a young boy and his dog and swimmers. Several lines down it talks about “young lovers” and then families.

This is what they call imagery. The singer is saying be yourself do not follow others, be yourself and don’t let your perse stop you. Later on in the song it say,”The ice we skate is getting pretty thin/ The water’s getting warm so you might as well swim/ My worlds on fire. How about yours/ That’s the way I like it and i’ll never get bored.” (Smash Mouth) This entire line of the song describes stress and it will try to stop you from being you, but when he rose up and he made a difference and forgot all about the stress he once had. The first part of the lyric is a simile. The final lyric in the song that is important is,” Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas/ I need to get myself away from this place/ I said yep, what a concept/I could use a little fuel myself/ And we could all use a little change.”( Smash Mouth) What he means by this is people ask him what he did to become this famous and he said,”you have to follow your dreams.” This is an example of a

After stating the inequity that our parents have given us , we sense that our complaints and such have been brushed to the side and pretended to not exist. For that reason , we decided there was no other option but to isolate ourselves from our families and homes so that we can become independent. This will give us the opportunity to demonstrate our parents that we don’t necessarily need to depend on them any longer.

Think back to when you were eight years old. You might have had older siblings, or older friends that were always allowed to do things you were not. Your mom would always say “when you’re ten you can”. Think back to when you were fourteen, you would ask your mom to go out somewhere with your friends without any parental supervision, your mom would laugh and say “when you’re sixteen you can”. Growing up, all anyone wants to be is older. When you are a little kid you want to be a teenager, when you are a teenager you want to be in your twenties. That only slightly changes when you get older. Then people want to go back an relive the “good ol’ days” and the “best time of their lives”. No one ever appreciates and enjoys where they are in that specific moment. All people want to do is press rewind or press fast forward.There is never any acceptance of the present. The song Sixteen by Thomas Rhett argues that the listener should accept where they are in life and enjoying what they're doing in that moment.

Walter Dean Myers was trying to portray that no matter how much you think that your life sucks, there will always be someone there for you if you’re there for them. This is a very important message that the author portrayed because everybody has times in his/her life where they feel loneley. It is a terrible feeling to feel that nobody will help you, but if you start to put others before yourself you will come to realize that you will be surrounded by others. Putting others before yourself is one of the best signs of a true relationship that people seem to overlook, but is still very important. If everyone would put others before themselves once and awhile, the world would be a happier

The song expresses how people are not living up to society's values and norms. It suggest that the socialization is at fault and that they contribute to improvement of self being. The song implies the way society goes against values and norms by one of the very first lyrics in the song. The lyric goes, “What’s wrong with the world, mama, People livin’ like they ain’t got no mamas…” (lines 1-2). This makes one aware of the lack of values in one's family. Values is the belief or an idea that a person or group has to determine is correct or not. Another verse of how the band shows one disobedience of the values and norms comes toward the middle of the song. “People killin', people dyin’, Children hurt and you hear them cryin, Can you practice what you preach, And would you turn the other cheek…” (lines 50-53). These verses show of society has failed to act stable and logical way that society once viewed as correct living. These actions show that citizens have not lived up to the expectations of society. Social norms are likes the laws of society. Laws are things that are illegal behaviour and norms are like behaving in a way society wouldn’t like. For example being in gangs, like the bloods, or the crips, or a big group that goes against society's norms like racial groups. An example of a racial group would be the KKK.

In the film "Lean on Me", Joe Clark, a fictional version of the real Mr. Clark who was the principal at an inner-city high school in Paterson, New Jersey, is the ultimate example of an authoritarian leader. In the movie, Clark approaches his job at a decaying academic setting with single-minded goals: to clean up the school, physically and academically, in order to help the students who have potential to graduate and to get rid of the ones who are destined to fail, according to his perceptions. Clark 's leadership style has been both widely praised as successful and a model for similar such schools, and has also been criticized for its bullying tactics. This paper will discuss Clark 's methods of leadership, his style and tactics as

This song represents the racism throughout the novel and the social hierarchy. In Harper Lee’s “To Kill A Mockingbird” a major subject discussed during the novel is racism, and in the song above the same subject is being discussed. In the song it talks about how white people have a privilege over black people, one of the examples used in the song is; “Hip hop started off in a block that I’ve never been to, to counteract a struggle I’ve never even been through.” This is saying white rappers didn’t start off where black rappers did and at they have not had to go through the same struggles at the beginning. Comparing this to the novel when Tom Robinson is on trial, all of the evidence proves he is innocent and that he has done nothing but go

This song implies that individual’s are violating the norms and values of society. They start the song with a verse that expresses

He begins the story saying “[I was] asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer.” (15), implying that he has very little self worth. He allows for the questions that determine who he is as an individual to be answered by other people, hence allowing others to make up his personality. It was not until he was past his high school years that he realizes he should be himself. The phrase is spoken in such a personal way that the reader feels as if the narrator is actually talking to them. Mixed with the universal theme of being yourself, the narrator sounds almost motivational by talking about how he has righted his foolish past mistakes. As he eventually realizes that he cannot cater himself to other’s likings, he writes, “…I am nobody but myself.” (15), fully showing how he has changed from the time when the story occurred to the time when he is telling the story. His voice again sounds inspirational and causes the reader to ask themselves if they are being

Family is said to make up nearly 65 percent of one's identity. This is nearly 2/3 of one's identity, more than patriotism and religion combined (Barna). How would one’s identity be different without a family? In the novel Make Lemonade, by Virginia Euwer Wolff, her character Jolly is a teenage single mother. She has two children, Jilly and Jeremy, and no parents that care about her. Her other character LaVaughn is a young teenager that babysits Jilly and Jeremy. She also has her sights set on college. Identity is shaped by family because, family is there to support one's decisions, teach valuable lessons, and prompt self-confidence.

Within the first two verses of the song, this young woman presents an issue that is all too common for many people. She has big dreams and wants to make a name for herself, but to succumb to making that dream a reality, she would have to desert the loved ones that have made

Since this essay seems to be getting a bit more personal, I might as well discuss the role I play in my family. I am the oldest child in a family of six children: five girls and one boy. The age differences range from one and a half years old to eighteen years old. I love children, but in a way I really don’t have much of a choice. It is only natural to be somewhat of a second mother to my

The Vietnam war was a major event to America because it had major conflicts with personal opinions of the people of 1960’s. In this era, plenty of people were rethinking on why they were fighting in a war that they did not need to be fighting. and joined the anti-war movement. This can explicitly be seen from the type of music that people were listening to at the time. The song that I am going to be analyzing is “Paint it Black” by the Rolling Stones. This song resonated with the persona of the people for multiple reasons because it was a song that was about losing a loved one and dealing with the sadness.

”No one is ever born into Life alone. Everyone has shared the bond of family, at least at birth, and for many people it is a bond that will follow them throughout life. For many people it is the most important bond of all.”
