Chemo Limo Reading the lyrics to chemo limo did not give the same meaning as to when listening to the song. A sense of emotion came over when hearing the piano and Regina Spector’s voice. Looking at the lyrics while listening to the song gave a better understanding and drew a picture that can be seen as she is singing. These words could mean so much and listening to the song over and over is a must, to get a better understanding. The reference to money was interesting by saying Benjamin Franklin in the song, referring to a hundred-dollar bill. Looking more into what that might mean or what Spector is trying to say is, how money is needed for chemotherapy. She is faced with a difficult decision does she use money on chemotherapy or does she save that money and invest it into her kids wellbeing? It has to be a tough decision to make because the thought process has to be nobody wants to die, but the treatment is not always the answer to living also. Talks about insurance policies is also mentioned in the song. Another option for the women to look at and maybe consider. The doctor says “you’ll be ok, anyway” it is mentioned two times in the first section of the song. This must be the doctor trying to comfort the women and help trying to help her stay positive as he is giving her options on what can be done. When it is said the second time around the women’s reply is “And I smiled cause I’d known it all the while”. Right here the women’s mind is made up of what she wants to

The last lines of the song are just repetitions of previous lyrics the repetitions can be reflected as being the urges to go through with the vial which in the end she did as the following lyric is “I choose defeat I walk away and leave this place the same today some like to sleep we like to play just look at all that
"She could only just recognise the tune for what it had once been. Not that coarse parody, stilted and mechanical, a tin brashness, a gaudiness of noise." Unpleasant and irritating sounds and noises suggest the lady's discomfort, as if the song was
In his essay, “Horse and Gentlemen,” T.H. Breen describes the cultural significance of gambling, specifically in relation to the quarter-horse races, in late 17th century Virginia. Breen primarily argues that the three main aspects of gambling – competitiveness, materialism, and individualism – reflected and reinforced the socio-economic structure of Virginia in this period. The high stakes wagers of the affluent planters reinforced their dominant status in the social structure and the gentry’s right to rule over this colony. Breen’s argument to this effect is supported by letters, court transcripts, documentation of wagers, and other written first-hand accounts. Breen’s case for the cultural significance of gambling has persuasive arguments for its representation of competitiveness and materialism. However, his argument for individualism has contrary elements and his essay would have been improved with the inclusion of women’s role in the gambling culture.
From the beginning of William Carlos Williams’ poem “The Red Wheelbarrow” the reader is captured by the statement “so much depends” (Williams line 1). As this short work continues the reader is seeing a graceful image that Williams creates. The mind’s eye can envision a painting that is tranquil, yet has the quiet activity of a rural farm home. With this in mind, what exactly is the author sharing with the reader? The poem communicates charmingly the dependence a man has for a vital piece of equipment.
Almost everyone will go through a breakup. Those who have been through a rough breakup may agree that heartache hurts. Individuals handle breakups in many different ways; some might become depressed, stop eating, or even overeat. In Aaliyah’s “I Don’t Wanna” and FeFe Dobson’s “Can’t Breath”, each artist expresses their emotional response to handling a breakup. Each are fighting to hold on to the relationship and not wanting to believe that the relationship is actually over.
What is remarkable about Four Women is the skillful yet overt approach to dealing with a sensitive construct. The song is
The song is written about an attractive woman that appeals highly to Robert Plant. He speaks of the way she moves and her physical appearance in a very sexual
Stepping backward, I watch as the woman in front of me begins to shake horribly, loud sobs wracking her thin frame. Beside her, her girlfriend squeezes her hand, a frown on her face.
To start off, the first stanza in her song represents a sense of how unavoidable change is and how the confusion of the bond combined with the stress of the blame game can lead to a doomed
The Caterpillar is a poem which focuses on the previously overlooked actions some of us may partake in, that may not be thought much of, but have short and long lasting effects on a scale we might not be very familiar with. Do we feel remorse for living organisms on a small macroscopic level, or is it just an insignificant part of our complex lives? Is the appreciation of life developed through experiences? Do we feel more pity for a single being that has been through trauma than we do for thousands that have not? In this poem, the conflict between caterpillars and humans is discussed in a such a way that brings up questions about how valuable we perceive other life to be, and how different
The last two lines represent the woman acknowledging the fact that many women before her have gone through this same experience. Time is is “rolled” or repeated in the sense that everyone was brought to this world in the same way. Line nine refers to the child having no awareness of itself or the world around it. The woman has created a life and that life has no idea that it is loved by her. The emotional connection between the mother and her child is developing on a deeper level.
Using the carnival as a background is appropriate because it is a time of celebration when everything is in chaos and people have lost their self-control. The carnival may be a symbol of Montresor’s own madness and the crazy thoughts in his head. The carnival usually indicates joyful social interaction but it is distorted by Montresor. Montresor’s reference to the bones and vaults of his family foreshadow the story’s descent into the underworld. The underground travels of the two men are a metaphor for their trip to hell. The carnival is essentially for the living but Montresor takes it into the vaults underground, to the realm of the dead and the satanic. The setting Poe chose for the story adds to the terror. Most of the events of the story runs in dark, damp tunnels piled with the bones of dead people. By taking Fortunato into the vaults, Montresor cuts him off from help. The two characters are underground and isolated.
The poem “Suicide’s Note” by Langston Hughes is a deep and emotional poem that is shown as the result of the imagery and literary devices present in the poem.
Analyzing the word, "beautiful" in this stanza, one should perceive that she is not actually singing about the outside of her, but what she consists of emotionally and mentally on the inside. She reveals that her thoughts and emotions are of worth and value and they are of her opinion. They are consumed through her, and no one else and if anyone disagrees, she does not take that into affect. Her diction is actually pretty precise. To quote a famous cliché, beauty is not skin deep. She explains that the beauty is the sentiment.
