Bloody Sunday By U2

The Myall Creek Massacre occurred in the early evening of Sunday the 10th June 1838. A group of eleven men, convicts and ex-convict stockmen, viscously slaughtered a group of around twenty eight Wirrayaraay Aboriginal people. They attacked men, women and children who were all either camped peacefully next to the station huts or, inside the station with the other settlers, enjoying dancing and a meal together (at the Myall Creek cattle station in northern New South Wales).

Since King was in Atlanta, Hosea Williams, his SCLC colleague and John Lewis, the SNCC leader. The marchers made their way through Selma across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, when they faced a roadblock of State Troopers and local lawmen commanded by Clarck and Major John who ordered the matchers to stop. When they didn’t, Cloud ordered his men to move forward to attack the black crowd with clubs and tear gas and mounted police chased marchers which ran back, while they were cheered on by white spectators. This was called “Bloody Sunday”. That night there was a television coverage of this event and as the event became known, it angered people from all around the

Owen describes the journey of becoming a SEAL and the countless missions of which he was a part. He illustrates the work of the United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group, known as SEAL Team Six. The readers are taken along with the team right into the line of fire.

A common theme among many scholars is modern poetry lacks poetic merit. The modern version of poetry is more often than not, found as music and more specifically as lyrics opposed to stanzas. “Traditional” poetry is known for its poetic merit; however, modern poetry, music, also has elements that can be found in traditional poetry. Poetic merit usually refers to the use of numerous poetic elements: figurative language, imagery, symbolism, allusions, etc. Though scholars may regard music as lacking in poetic merit, the song “Glory” by John Legend and Common proves otherwise through its use of symbolism, alliteration, and allusions to put forth its emotional lyrics that depict the struggles of the Civil Rights Movement.

Violence, terror, suffering and death. The conflict that has been burning in Northern Ireland seems to be an unstoppable battle and it has flooded over the land of Northern Ireland. The struggle for power and the persistence of greed have fueled the raging fires of the opposing groups. The conflict in Northern Ireland has been discussed continually over the past few decades. Ever since the beginning of the “Troubles,” organizations have been scavenging to find a plan that will cease the violence. Throughout my research for this project, the questions of what are the main sources of conflict in Northern Ireland and why have they continued today guided me to many fascinating pieces of evidence that

In the song Kitchen Sink by Twenty One Pilots it says, “I’m a kitchen sink, you don't know what that means, because a kitchen sink to you is not a kitchen sink to me, okay friend?” High school students are often thinking that no one gets me. Or in other words, “a kitchen sink to you is not a kitchen sink to me.” High school students all have their “kitchen sinks” and everyone’s kitchen sinks are different. They’re thinking what’s the point? No one understands. They have no motivation to keep going. One of the biggest problems plaguing high school students today is depression and

Bloody Monday was August 6, 1855, in Louisville, KY on an election day when Protestant mobs attacked German and Irish Catholic neighborhoods.  Many were hurt, 22 were killed, buildings and properties were destroyed. The riots grew from a rivalry between the Democrats and the Nativist Know-Nothing Party. It was a time of great change, uncertainty, fear, violence, slavery, and prejudice.

In the poem Ballad of Birmingham, by Dudley Randall, the author gives a poetic account of a bombing that occurs in a church in 1963. The poem was written in the form of a ballad to convey the mood of the mother towards her daughter. The poet also gives a graphic account of what the 1960's were like. Mr. Randall uses tone, irony and metaphor to describe the events of the mother’s decisions, as well as her concern for her child’s well being.

The troubles emerged as the result of several years of the escalating incidents between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. The troubles have been protracted and costly in every sense of the world. From the first civil rights marches in 1968 till the signing of The Good Friday Agreement in 1998, 3,500 people died and over 35,000 were injured in Northern Ireland as the direct result of the aggressive violence , rebellion, bombings, murders, and terror tactics. The Catholic and Protestant troubles and conflicts had a significantly impact on Ireland. This serious issue had impacted the lives of individuals and families that took place or witness the gruesome events that the troubles had causes, the political change and reform of

I have chosen this song for the tone it brings to this soundtrack. The beginning of The Count of Monte Cristo is vividly different from the rest, as it introduces a perfect character, who has the greatest of girls to soon marry, and has been promoted to captain of his ship. I feel that this song has the same tone to it, while hinting at a change of fortune soon in the future by repeating “I’m losing you”, which mirrors the effect that Danglars has at this point, of foreshadowing that things will not stay this way for Dantes.

One of the most significant protest songs in history is Bloody Sunday, written by band U2 and produced by Steve Lillywhite. It was first recorded in 1982 and first released in 1983.
