Beyonce's ' Beyonce' Album

Beyoncé Knowles explores various subject matters in her 2016 visual album Lemonade that are relevant to the current state of affairs in society today. Lyrically, the first forty-five minutes’ address personal topics including her husband’s infidelity and her relationship with her father. The “Freedom” scene, however, is where the lyrics turn from personal to more political. This scene consists of shots that include but are not limited to Beyoncé singing to a crowd of black women while on stage, she and the women who comprised the audience dining under a tree and a closing shot of everyone either sitting on a branch of the aforementioned tree or standing in front of it. The uses of dark settings and black and white lighting and clothing in combination

In a world where vapid bubble-gum pop songs garner the most Youtube hits, radio requests, and overall attention from today’s youth, it is shocking to think that a pop music icon could release such a thought-provoking song. Contrary to the quintessential 21st century radio hits, Rihanna’s 2008 single entitled “Disturbia” challenges listeners to look beyond captivating beats and an irrefutably alluring hook. Beneath the rhythmically appealing instrumentals lies a series of ominous lyrics that would assuredly frighten the listeners if they comprehended these lines on a deeper level. The speaker explores themes of mental illness and Hollywood infamy and employs a desperate tone that begs the listener for assistance.

After listening to a few of Beyonce’s songs, it was quite difficult to pick just one song to do, since they’re all brilliant. In the end, I decided to do this song because it went along with a research paper that I just had to do (which was on feminism). Aside from that, Run the World (Girls) was one of my favorite songs to watch Beyonce perform at awards shows in the past.

In today’s society, we commonly hear phrases such as “Everyone is beautiful” and “Size doesn’t matter” yet women are constantly bombarded with idealized images of beauty they are told they must attain to. In Beyonce’s song titled “Pretty Hurts” released in 2013, she highlights the pressures put on women to adhere to society’s unrealistic beauty standards which exist to alter womens’ perceptions o fhow they view themselves. Since women are continuously pressured to meet impractical expectations of beauty, rather than being satisfied with themselves, they critique and attempt to change their physical flaws in fear of not being accepted. Through the use of various stylistic devices such as diction, contradiction, metaphor, and mood, Beyonce reveals how society forces women to conform and uphold to impossible beauty standards which further reinforce the unfair expectations of gender roles.

Beyoncé once said “I am really proud that I am one of the artists that has the opportunity to be on magazine covers and to be in the movies.” (She is one of the few artists to venture out and pursue other dreams. Beyoncé has been in countless movies, on magazine covers, and has hundreds of hit songs. She is a triple threat. From growing up in a dysfunctional family, to singing in a group and having a very successful solo career, Beyoncé Knowles is a very talented woman.

How would you feel if you were told that you were not allowed to go to school? You probably would not care much since school in America is something you have to do, but girls in third world countries feel robbed and hang on to the hope that one day they will be granted the right to go to school. Michelle Obama, first lady and mother, wrote a powerful article on November 2, 2015 addressing the global crisis that is female education. She addresses this crisis using pathos, syntax, and diction in order to get the reader to become aware of this situation and take initiative to change it.

The action really starts when Jack starts seeing things himself. For example the ballroom/bar being filled with people and alcohol. The people he sees are ghosts of the hotel's previous victims, such as Delbert Grady, who has become the bartender, and is more than happy to give Jack a drink or two. He does, however, tell Jack that people are worried that

He is an ex-convict; he has been in and out of jail his entire life and struggled with a drug addiction and alcoholism. Looking at him, he comes off pretty rough. He is heavy built, deep voice, and has many tattoos. These things can be very intimidating to some. Nonetheless, Jack has become a born-again Christian and is a mentor to a young boy that he sees going down the wrong path. Jack attends church more than once a week and is keeping a job to support his two children and wife. He ties his hardest to stay on the right path but in the film you’ll see that he takes two steps forward just to get knocked back four. Although he is a great worker he gets fired from his job due to his tattoos, something that he can’t change. He tries to be a great father but he has a rough time disciplining his kids. His wife is not supportive and seems skeptical of the changes and progress that he has made. After the tragic hit and run accident, Jack goes straight home. He knows what he has done and is battling whether he should turn his self in or remain quiet. His wife cleans the blood from the front of the truck and tries to convince him to not say anything. Jack then realizes that his wife doesn’t share the same beliefs as him. He feels like his duty is to God and he needs to turn himself in whereas the wife feels like Jack’s duty is to his

Jack also starts to develop an obsessive compulsive behavior personality disorder by writing pages and pages of manuscript that read, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." This form of receptiveness might even imply that Jack was entering a type of Schizoid behavior because of his detachment from others. He became very isolated from everyone. He had little movement and little speech and was completely engrossed in his writing, which was not amounting to anything.

The book I read is called Everlasting. The author of this book is Alyson Noel. Ever Bloom is the main character of the book and the reason I read this book is because it is the sixth book of the immortals series. The first book to the series is called Evermore. I liked it enough I went to find the other books to the series and I’ve read almost the whole series.

Drake 's new album called “Views” extremely caught my attention. This album had numerous exceptional songs that I could easily relate to. I connected to this album better than his other albums that were produced because this album had more diversity. Views were the fourth studio album by Drake and were also supported by five billboard singles: "Hotline Bling", "One Dance", "Pop Style", "Controlla" and "Too Good", which are some my favorite tracks from this album. I absolutely love this album because it shows the struggles that Drake has faced emotionally and it gives us the ability to connect to it.

Jack is a man who struggles to control his temper, especially when under the influence. Growing up with an abusive father, “Jack had taken his lumps when the old man was drunk, which was a lot of the time,” (King 229). That is how his father dealt with all his children. When Jack was seven years old, “he was spanked by a neighbor lady for playing with matches,” and he threw a rock at passing car in anger (King 160). Jack’s father witnessed his behavior and punished him, physically and severely. Having learned that Jack responds to violence irrationally, one is not surprised when Jack subsequently kicks a dog into the gutter. Upon getting insight into Jack’s past, one should immediately assume that Jack is predestined to succumb to brutish behavior because he either learned this by watching his father give his children their “medicine” or inherited it like a physical trait.

Tyler, Jack’s split personality, is an ideal male ego, which Jack inspires to be. Tyler remarks on Jack’s consumerist lifestyle by saying that consumerist life “could be worst. A woman could cut off your penis while you’re asleep and toss it out of the window of a moving car”, which puts forward the idea that men become inferior because of consumerism. Jack’s struggle can be interpreted as two forms. His creation of “ Fight Club” is intent for engaging physical violence, while “Project Mayhem” shows his resistance of capitalist system and consumer society.

Jack was a country boy who had a lot of responsibilities. He felt trapped, and he had to find a way out. His family knew little about Jack because he was adopted. Jack took it upon himself to lie to his family about having a brother in London. The country was a long way away from London. Jack thought it was a brilliant idea and it was, for a while. Jack is a young man who needs adventure in his life. One expert,

In this scene, Jack’s insanity is fully realized, while he is placed against
