Evicted Soundtrack

Unfortunately, the loss of housing occurs frequently and takes a psychological toll on the people affected by depression. Desmond displays how Arleen is very troubled when she gets evicted, thrown into the cold, and stranded with nothing. It takes a toll mentally when she realizes she has no home to get away from the cold, but also the eviction will be on her record for the next move. When people get evicted there is so much going against them, that mentally they can’t keep up and become depressed. Desmond describes the depression of a Hispanic woman and her three children during an eviction. At first, she had “borne down on the emergency with focus and energy,” then she started wandering the halls “aimlessly, almost drunkenly, her face had that look, the movers and the deputies knew it well”(125). Desmond adds, “It was the look of someone realizing that her family would be homeless in a matter of hours”(125). With vivid imagery, Desmond truly shows the mindset of a woman who knows she lost everything. Eviction scars people and that it makes a lasting mark on how they mentally feel as if they are worthless.

“The home is the wellspring of personhood. It is where our identity takes root and blossoms, whereas children, we imagine, play, and question, and as adolescents, we retreat and try. As we grow older, we hope to settle into a place to raise a family or pursue work. When we try to understand ourselves, we often begin by considering the kind of home in which we were raised” (Desmond 2016, 293). Evictions! The root of poverty? Matthew Desmond’s novel “Evicted: Poverty and Profit in America City, portrays the lives of tenants, landlords, and house marketing on the poorest neighborhoods of Milwaukee. Desmond gives the reader overwhelming evidence and revealing testimony illustrating the major impact of inadequate housing on individuals, local, and national level. Desmond’s analysis and observation of his case study enables him to portray the reality of poverty, and to persuade the readers that evictions are a major consequence, and primary contributors in the relentless cycle of poverty. Desmond build his argument using two Aristotelian rhetorical appeals, ethos, logos and inductive reasoning to illustrates the importance of ending the cycle of poverty.

The overall theme of the book, Nil Unlocked by Lynne Matson, is that people can find happiness when nothing is going their way. Throughout the book the main character Rives is trying to make the city of Nil function correctly but issues keep popping up. On Christmas, in the story, a member of the city was taken by a huge furry creature, the event rattled the city and left people in shock. Soon after the event took place, Macy, one of the town’s inhabitants, gave Skye a gift and explained how life is cruel, but things like that just happen. In the song Let’s Dance to Joy Division by The Wombats, shows the theme, “And celebrate the irony/everything is going wrong/but we’re so happy.” The lyrics imply that even

The Weeknd’s issues with women stem from a past affair he only hints at in songs such as “Wicked Games”. As a result, he tends to push women away, often hurting them first in order to avoid being hurt himself. In “Shameless”, from his latest album, he writes to a lover: “You want me to fix you but it’s never enough/That’s why you always call me ‘cause you’re scared to be loved”. The extremely unhealthy relationship The Weeknd has with this unnamed woman provides a reflection of himself, as he purposely sexualizes females in an effort to keep from forming human connections with them. He holds women at arm’s length with lyrics such as, “Stupid’s next to I love you” (“Losers”) and “Girl, I’m so glad we’re acquainted”. (“Acquainted”) The Weeknd’s struggles, while heartbreaking, have contributed to his shattering success as a

In Ben Mezrich’s book, Bringing Down the House, one of the major characters, Micky Rosa comes into the story and is described as an inspiring, intelligent man. His role in this book stood out to me as being one of the most important and exciting characters. Micky is a small, forty year old man, who started the blackjack team at MIT. His presence automatically contributes to the successes of all members of the blackjack team. He has character traits that positively influence each and every player. Micky Rosa is seen as a positive, inspiring figure toward the blackjack team because of his intelligence, persistence, and passion. However Micky was kicked off the team and still carried on his legacy of inspiring card counters.

The music video I’ve chosen for my music video analysis essay is “The Suburbs”. “The Suburbs” was released 1 June 2010 by the Canadian indie-rock band known as Arcade Fire and was a single from the album The Suburbs. What’s cool about this music video is that the video footage used for the song is just scenes taken from a short film called “Scenes from the Suburbs.” “The Suburbs” revolves around a group of teens. At first these teens are riding their bikes and playing in what seems to be some suburbs. As the video progresses the suburbs seem to get more and more dangerous as men with guns appear and people are dragged from their homes.

is that love is what keeps life going. For example, in the song “Seasons of Love,” the cast finds out that love is the best way to measure life. Love is what keeps one going, and is what brings you up when you are feeling down. For example, even though Roger could have stayed in Santa Fe and live a peaceful life, he returns to New York City because he still loves Mimi. Mimi is what keeps his life going, which is why he comes back. Additionally, even though your life is done, your love will live on forever and will keep your loved one’s lives going. For example, when it appears that Mimi is dead, she awakes, and tells Roger, Maureen, and Joanne that “Angel told me to go back.” This

Teju Cole’s phenomenally written original novel majorly takes place in New York City. Cole character was easy to relate to because of his Nigerian American decent being that I am a Ghanaian American. Cole is a Nigerian American. He was born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria and came to the United States in 1992 at the age of seventeen. Cole is also well educated and is a graduate student at Columbia University. I found it insightful how in the novel Cole met several various types of people, including other immigrants. He met and shared stories with a Haitian shoe shiner, at work in Penn Station; a Liberian, imprisoned for over two years in a dentition center in Queens; and a Moroccan student working at an Internet café. I enjoyed the fact that the narrator was well stocked minded. He touched on the topics of art, music, and interesting books. He had a very eclectic set of interest.

Through the migration of African Americans to the new south, and the increasing population of urban areas such as New Orleans, music tends to be more influential in the lives of our characters. In “A Streetcar Named Desire”, the setting in opening first few moments of the play

The soundtrack for the movie was released on March 20, 2012 and contains songs that are inspired by the film. But only three of them appeared in the movie during the closing credits (Abraham’s Daughter, Safe & Sound and Kingdom Come). Also, the movie was nominated at the Golden Globes for Best Original Song- Motion Picture for the song Safe & Sound.

The overall message of the song is about materialism. Madonna also said that the song is supposed to be reflective of her life during that time. The 1980’s was a time when many people wanted to be conservative in political, social, and economical affairs; it was also a time known for materialism and consumerism. Although the start of the 1980’s still had people struggling for money, by 1983, the economy recovered, and U.S. kept a period of economical growth. This lead to people becoming rich and becoming frivolous with their purchases.

I Just listened to the song 'Home Improvement' by Josh woodwerd. It is a pop-folk-rock tune, It's pretty catchy. Josh's voice is edgy and rough and the melody of voice is changing.The song is play with some unplugged instrument. Lyrics, I think, are little bit politic and engaged. The mood of this song is happy, and dynamic ,the rythm is quick. . It is an music, that you can to listen to during a raining day It is exactly a kind of tune who can play on the "guiness tavern", around friend, and other people. Or you can listen to this tune during a journey. I recommend this music.

As for expressive style and social content, it made the most of three women’s vocals as well as body image and to sum it up, sexiness is the core information that the song wants to convey through both their flirting and sometimes gasping vocals and sexually-suggestive dancing. However it did create a certain extent of problem since during the time between 1990s and 2000s, it was still the period of time when female sexuality and ‘G-rated fun’ was not that quite a very open topic for the public

Tell me, baby, why don’t you need me when I make me so damn easy to need?” basically asking, “what man wouldn’t love a woman like me?” She actually dusts off her many Grammy Awards showing her success but constantly needs to be noticed and appreciated by her boyfriend/husband. While she is on the phone with said boyfriend/husband, she drinks her martini (seems to be drunk), crawls on the floor, her tears washing her makeup down her face, and smokes a cigarette. Her attitude in this shot clearly shows her desperation to be loved and

Hotel California is one of the most famous songs in the 20 century. It was recorded in the same name album “Hotel California and released as single in 1977. The song was written by Don Felder, Don Henley and Glenn Frey. During the 1960s, it is a period that everyone is encouraged to create any style of artworks and the popularity of rock music is considered to be the symbol of freedom and traitorous thoughts. However, the freedom also led many musicians to the corrupt life. Drugs and promiscuous sexual activities become issues for bands in the U.S at that time. The Eagle felt frustrated when seeing this situation; however, the evil livings were common to most of musicians, therefore, the Eagle decided to write a song to depict the consequence
