Girlpool Interpretation

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

This song is all about Taylor convincing her crush that she is better for him than his current girlfriend. In this line, Taylor mainly talks about the boy’s current girlfriend and all the qualities that make it sound like she’s wrong for him. In this part of the song she mainly uses pathos to sway the judgement of the boy and more importantly, her fans listening to the song. Pathos is very important when trying to convince people because humans tend to concentrate on the emotional aspect of things. Especially when it comes to music. Using pathos, Taylor is able to stir up negative emotions about the complaining girlfriend right at the beginning of the song. At the last part of the line, she also uses pathos to show the contrast between her

“Girl” is a short story in which the author, Jamaica Kincaid, unofficially presents the stereotypes of girls in the mid 1900s. Kincaid includes two major characters in the story “Girl”, they are the mother and the girl. Although the daughter only asks two questions in this story, she is the major character. The mother feels like her daughter is going in the wrong direction and not making the best decisions in her life. The whole story is basically the mother telling her daughter what affects her decisions will have in the future. The mother believes that because her daughter isn’t sitting, talking, cleaning, walking or singing correctly it will lead her to a path of destruction. “Girl” is a reflection of female sexuality, the power of family, and how family can help overcome future dangers.

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

This song displays the traditional messages sent by male artists. What about female artists? What do their songs portray? Andsager and Roe’s findings give a good description. According to them, there are two kinds of female artists. The strong, more established female artists portray women as “fully equal.” These women are in their thirties at least, they are more established, and they dress in casual suits. They sang romance, female emancipation, and heartbreak like the rest, but they did not compromise their image in their videos. They use Trisha Yearwood as an example in her song Everybody Knows. The other type, were women who “fell into the lowest level on the consciousness scale.” They used Deana Carter’s song We Danced Anyway as an example. In this song she rolled on the beach in a wet t-shirt. Another one is Faith Hill’s song Breathe. In this song, Hill is seen rolling around in her bed sheets with no clothes on.

“This One’s for the Girl’s” recorded by Martina McBride is written by Chris Lindsey, Hillary Lindsey, and Aimee Mayo. It was written to encourage women of all ages to be themselves regardless of the various difficult situations they may be facing. The song also advises girls of all ages to live in the moment and enjoy every minute they have because life flies by. Martina McBride’s recorded song is helpful to girls around the world by its optimistic tone and motivating theme.

She conveys her desperate need for the male domination in her life !!, and this sets her aside form the

Within the first two verses of the song, this young woman presents an issue that is all too common for many people. She has big dreams and wants to make a name for herself, but to succumb to making that dream a reality, she would have to desert the loved ones that have made

Based off the lyrics, the song is all about how Beyonce truly feels deep down inside. The message behind

This is an inspirational song for an average teenage girl, but as I pointed out there were some contradictions to the lyrics and the meaning. They may want to see themselves as beautiful in every way possible, but the world is a puzzle and there is a piece that is gone because of what has become socially acceptable.

In her song “If I Were a Boy,” Beyonce argues that many women are trapped in bad relationships and never take the time to question how they truly desire to be treated. To confirm this, Beyonce is attempting to look at her unhealthy relationship as if she were in her significant others shoes. She makes an effort to develop an understanding of what it is like to be the man in the relationship, and see how he can just passively mistreat a girl. Beyonce later discovers that she would treat others how she would want to be treated because she understands how it is to be hurt by someone. She also finds that most guys do not care whether or not their significant others are suffering because of their actions. Beyonce establishes credibility for her lyrics by using the three appeals: pathos, ethos, and logos. These appeals are utilized to influence her audience, not let a man control their lives, but live there lives the way they want, and find a man that can treat them better than they have been treated in their past. Also, the use of repetition and form are used to establish her points within the song. Lastly, she wants her listeners to visualize how it could be if they were the other person, and question whether or not their outlook would be different.

We chose this song because Taylor sings about how two girls were friends but now they have issues with each other. This song portrays Algernon's thoughts that women become friends if they are enemies first. Supposedly, Taylor wrote this song about her relationship with Katy Perry. Taylor and Katy fought about something and Taylor wrote a song about how that made them enemies. This represents Algernon’s views of women's relationships with each other because they change their minds about being friendly or enemies

She comes across as blunt and straightforward because she strives for the communities to see that we shouldn’t build up walls between each other. After closely listening to the song, depressing realizations occur when the powerful words resonate with the heart. Keys alludes to the idea that “We’ve got it twisted in this lucid dream,” war is praised, and sex is viewed as offensive (2). This further exemplifies that reality has been distorted. Flaws are no longer beautiful because we can’t see people and issues for what they are.

The song is about realizing that obstacles and rules must be overcome to be one’s true self. The theme of this song is shown through many literary devices, such as personification, hyperboles and similes. Initially, the lyric “Now I see, that if I were truly to be myself, I would break my family's heart. This lyric is a hyperbole, as she can not actually physically

This song has a lot of emotion behind it. I believe that when Beyoncé sings this song, she is sending off a message to the families of those who lost their lives during 9/11. She is singing from the victim’s point of view saying to remember me for the positive impact I have made in the world and how I strived to make the world a better place. She is singing to tell us that no matter how rich, successful, or famous you may be, always live your life to the fullest because you never know when it
