Usually when this went on with the babies I noticed that they would begin to cry. The younger people who didn't look as old as everyone else were the singers that went up onto the small podium where the priest was and began the singing of the songs. They were dressed somewhat like the priest, but just in a different color. They were very happy when they went up and did not have a problem going up on the podium to sing, they were actually very enthusiastic. One of the singers would actually talk right before and after a song to talk about the story of what song they were going to sing next, it was pretty awesome. I enjoyed the songs they sang and everyone together singing sounded even better, it gave me a happy feeling and made me want to sing

In “The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House,” Audre Lorde discusses the idea that as long as movements seeking to dismantle oppressive structures limit their tools to those created by the oppressive structure itself, actual reform will be out of reach. By using these tools, regardless of intention, one is still wielding an axis of oppression, and therefore reinforcing its supremacy.

Brittany Russel sang “Nobody Love”, she sang with magnificent range and gave the audience a nice pair of chills down their arms, because you could tell she sang from a personal perspective. She carries this certain style where it’s very raw and emotional. To bring an upbeat into the room Madison Slamka and Gillian Marino’s performance of The Beatles “Come Together” allowed the audience to release their worries and stress of the week that lay behind them. Their duet performance was entertaining and colorful, the two girls added their own style which gave the performance an extra twist on the song. This allowed the girls to not just sing the same style as the original artist, but to take the next step and recreate a clever, melodic song into something that was their own. One of my favorite performances of the night was The A Cappella Group. Their three numbers were amazing and left me wanting so much more. Even though Callie Atkinson was a featured soloist performing Hold my Hand, the groups back up was essential for the emotional feeling of the song. As incredible as their performances were, there was this one distractions to the group. The random movement of their upper bodies drew attention away from the

The song God Bless the USA by: Lee Greenwood bestows a message of unity and love towards the United States of America. The message of this song shows that the American dream means working hard and fighting for our country. America is an outstanding country that has pride and loyalty embedded in the heart and foundation. The tone of the song is pride, which captures the sprit of the United States of America citizens. Tone is heard throughout the song especially in the chorus; “God Bless the USA”(Greenwood Line 16). Pride is another important element in creating tone in God Bless the USA; “That I’m proud to be an American”(Greenwood Line 25). I choose this song because I grew up listening to it with my father who fought for our country. I think
The poem, "The Night House" by Billy Collins, is very symbolic and meaningful, and most people can relate to because everyone has something they are not content with in life. Collins is a great, straightforward writer that people can depict with in his poems because he is practical and uses simple things or everyday experiences in an easy way. This poem in particular is very symbolic and effortless to analyze because it is the everyday life--- going to work, coming home, and then going to sleep--- the cycle then repeats over and over. He talks about "the body works" at the beginning (which sets the tone for the rest of the poem), which symbolizes that our hearts and minds are not always into what we are doing. He talks and illustrates figurative parts of the body: the heart, mind, conscience, and soul. When he talks about the woman sleeping, all these figurative body parts are restless and come out at night to do what they really want to do.
When you associate words like shameless with everyday life you don’t think of it being a television show, one may think of shameless as a negative adjective used to describe a person showing a lack of shame, but it's a comedy/drama television show that really digs deep into real life scenarios and shows how a true dysfunctional family lives in the “hood” of Chicago. Shameless details how much leadership and mental stability Fiona Gallagher has to have in order to run a family of six in her early twenties.
