Gracie's Song Analysis

I chose “Humble and Kind,” by Tim McGraw as my theme song. “Humble and Kind” is a very good song that has very unique lyrics. The song gives advice on how to live. There are many manners in this song that are very important. The song is a parent telling their child how they should live life. It seems that the artist wrote the song on how he wishes he would have acted when he was younger. One of the main messages of this song are that everyone has something in their lives, but you still need to be nice. Some of the lyrics on the song are about the 10 Commandments. Even though we grow up, we still need to remember our manners and how to live life. “Don’t hold a grudge or a chip and here’s why Bitterness keeps you from flying.” This is an example

The chief characters of the story are Traynor and Gracie Mae Still. Traynor is described as young, five-feet-nine, feminine looking with “real dark white skin and a red pouting mouth” (Walker). Upon his first contact with Gracie Mae, to buy the rights of her song,

The book is enjoyable to read because it shows not only the way Georgia lives, but what we can learn from the book as well. My experience with this book is beyond great and showed me how rough Georgia lived her life. She is independent to take care of herself. In the novel Georgia finds hope to do what

One of the things about the book that I personally liked was the characters, some of them were easy to relate to, even if you couldn't you could relate someone you knew with them. For example, David is not one of the main characters from the story but the more you learn about him, the more you realize how ambitious he is, wanted to change his career path almost every week, standing up to Mr. Neck. I think he's one of the things that helped Melinda find her voice.

The song "Fast" by Luke Bryan was released in 2015 on the album Kill the Lights. This song is important to me because it was the first song that made me like country, made me realize things, and to enjoy life.

This book, was never to my liking, I always wondered why Mrs.Silva always talked about this book. I was never interested in reading really long books, my mind always would drift off but this book had something about it that was connected with me!

Overall, the book is really good and sticks to those three main ideas of courage, weakness and truth throughout it. As both a reader and a writer (I write my own little novels) this book is really goods and i would recommend it to anyone who asks

I, personally, loved the author's writing, although I did not really understand why she structured the book like so. With each chapter changing different perspectives and stories, it was kind of hard to remember which chapter went with another considering the chapters where out of order. With each story, I was a little annoyed that they just suddenly ended at the end of the chapter. It made me want to read more and more trying to find the next chapter that went with that person's story. It was also kind of difficult to connect the stories. Other than that, she did a marvelous job grabbing my attention. I loved the analogies that she included in the stories. For example, on page 216- 217, one of the mothers told her daughter about a turtle that eats her tears and then creates birds that laugh

The characters bring a riveting story to life when reading. Throughout the book, I felt emotions left and right for the characters and what they were going through. There is a lot of mystery and questioning that will be answered later in the book, but once its done, there are still many questions being asked. when I look for a book, that is something that stands out to me because I really want to read more, and when you have that reaction to a book, that means it was worth reading. I found this book remarkable because of the behaviors, characteristics, and decisions that the characters make, and I recommend this book to everyone, even if they don’t like to

I found this book to be well written and researched, the downside of it was it felt more like an essay. The background stories and information was repeated several times, repetition can be good but to much just makes it seem like you ran out of things

What I liked most about the book was how she brought out the family dynamics of this extremely dysfunctional family without sugar coating it or making it seem better then it was. I think people that have suffered abuse or grown up in severely dysfunctional homes will really understand the family dynamics at work here and those that did not will come away with a new

Overall this book is good so far. Once I start reading it, I cannot put it down. It is a story that talks about the struggle of a young African-American girl named Shivana who is dealing with her poor lifestyle, going to school and being sexually active at such a young age. She is only fifteen and has been hooking up with a man who is married and has children. I found that this was so disturbing because I feel like Leroy (the married man) is using her for sex; he claims that he loves her but I am pretty sure he is doing it out of pleasure.

My favorite part of the book was when Mrs.Torelli told her stories. I especially liked the story she told about Violetta. I liked that story the most because it related to the hatred rosie had for janine. The story was about Mrs.torrelli when she was a kid and her friend pardo who were best friends till another girl moved to their village named violetta who made Mrs.Torelli jealous and she hated violetta because pardo was crazy over her. towards the end of Mrs.Torrelli's story she was so evil she convinced violetta to let Mrs.Torrelli to cut her hair for her and she let her but it was a trick and Mrs.Torrelli cut her hair very short to make her look “ugly” but it ended up making her even prettier with make Mrs.Torrelli angry. At the end

Don't look at me is the first line of Christina Aguilera's song "Beautiful." This instant whisper from the voice of Aguilera creates an ashamed vibe for the song. It is spoken quietly and without any musical instrumentation. As the music softly and brilliantly builds up to the first verse listener's already have a misinterpretation of the lyrics. The audience presumes that the song will be about depression or shame and disgrace because one would associate not wanting people to look at you with shame. However, once they read more into the lyrics they notice that the meaning of the song is much deeper than shame and actually has an opposite message. When the audience hears the title of the song they could

‘No matter gay, straight, or bi, I was born to survive’. In the words of lady GaGa herself it doesn’t matter who you marry, what your gender is or what’s you race you just need to accept others and yourself. Lady GaGa’s song ‘Born this Way’ informs others about self-acceptance in her new album ‘Born this way’. This song is about people abusing others and reflecting badly on them self because of their race, gender and choice in who they marry. Lady GaGa expresses her thoughts about people’s issues to say it doesn’t matter who you are because you were born that way.
