Guitar: The Significance Of Guitar

Guitar acts as Milkman's best friend, even though they both have completely different beliefs and ideas. Despite being Milkman’s friend, Guitar shows both the better and worse sides of Milkman, being a supporting character that is used to build up Milkman’s character, such as the name Guitar suggests. All famous musicians don’t just use a single guitar to write songs, they’re normally paired up with other instruments, vocalists, or even another guitar. Guitars are made to support music, and even tho they can have their own solo, it’s not the main attraction. MIlkman is the main attraction and Guitar is his influential sidekick. Not only is his name shows his supportive role, but it also shows how opposite of Milkman he is; Milkmen are boring,

The biggest impact throughout this whole story to me was the guitar. The guitar took a huge toll on its owners life. It led the owner into temptations of fame and the sacrifices that must be made to retrieve it. The guitar being an instrument also acts like its own person. It gives off a grand amount of negative energy. I feel as if sherman alexie used his text to put across a point of how people cherish fame and fortune too much. His story put off that cheaters never win feel. The overall theme i recieved from this book is the power of music.he connects it through all characters in the book. i would say that because of How he used his characters Robert and Victor they both wanted to be the best blues players in the world they seeked it so much that they were willing to give up their souls for it. Not knowing the mistake they've made is where the cheaters never win theme comes in. (pg.6 Alexie, S. (2014). Reservation blues. Grove Press.) where robert john states how he has made a bad decision and catches a disease that he can't get rid of tying cancer to the hollywood syndrome he catches from the fame. Big Mom uses music to cope with things that happen in life and teaches her students to put feeling into their

I do not understand the sentence “(In fact, this affection was not entirely altruistic; there existed here a veritable traffic of children among homosexuals, i learned later.)”, does this mean the SS officers were interested in the boys sexualy? If so they were hypocrites; one of the populations who were targeted during the holocausts were the homosexuals. Then they also should have been killed in the gas chambers. Also why were there orchestras in concentration camps? For the officer’s entertainment? That is just sick, they are forcing people into labor then coming to enjoy the music. Who played the instrument? If it was the prisoners, one would be lucky to have known to play an instrument. To play music everyday instead of working hard labour all day.

Toni Morrison, in the Song of Solomon, utilizes the formation of the individual identity for Guitar and Pilate to represent the difficulty of defining black identity during a time of drastic change. At the time period leading up to the civil rights movement, a divide arises within the black community: a Southern set of beliefs that revolve around forgiveness and care pitted against a Northern set of beliefs that revolve around progressive ideas and vindictiveness. Pilate and Guitar are presented as foils; they represent, through the formation of their own identity, how even though two individuals grow up dealing with very similar circumstances, they still go on to become different persons due to the immediate environment in which they grow

In 1964, when Springsteen was fifteen years old, his mother bought him his first guitar for eighteen dollars. Bruce said that this did not go over well at all with his father, seeing as how he did not approve of his musical ambitions. Young Springsteen went on to say (according to biography.com) “There were two things that were unpopular in my house; one was me and the other was my guitar.” Springsteen later realized how important it was for him to have the fraught relationship with his father that he had. All of his music would have of been happy music if it wasn’t for what he went through with his father growing up and that would not have been good because it was his “darker” side of him and his music that everybody

At birth everyone is given a name by their parents. Your name is part of your identity and how you are addressed and recognized by the world. The different verities among the population created other names given to different races. These names are offensive, demeaning and are only used to refer to a person in a disrespectful manner. They can also cause a segregation among a nations people, these names are forced upon people weather they are rich or poor, old or young, male or female and are used to describe the same race of people. In the class reading "What 's in a Name? “by Henry Louis Gates he reminisces about a personal experience of his that he had with his father. In the story he describes his father was a hard worker and, because of this he was in high financial standings and, he was well respected and given privileges that at the time was rare for people of his race but he was still black and his name, his individual identity was not important instead he was given a racial identity, this is the only thing he was known as, this type of negative recognition is something many black Americans can relate to. One’s race is a predominant part of our identity and is what causes discrimination.

This story has an extremely complex purpose, one in which you need to read the story multiple times and do research to figure out and that is, the modernization of our society. I figured this out after reading the story and realizes what the G-String was a symbol of, it was a symbol of female empowerment and modern society. We actually hear that on page 71 when the narrator goes "the G-String was a modern thing" "Gillian wanted to be a modern girl" (Barker 71). In addition, I found the final scene to be the most empowering and modern, when Gillian fixed Mr. Kip's windshield wiper and was the reason they were able to get home safely this showed that a female could do anything a man could do and sometimes even better than a man. Also, this showed

When I first got a guitar in the third grade I thought I could a rock star, so my parents took me to a music studio. When I first walked into the music studio I was amazed by everything. There were so many guitars, drum sets, and pianos that I couldn’t even imagine it in my mind.

The next day when I was going back to the music studio I remembered that I would have to make a first impression to my guitar teacher. When I got to the music studio I opened the door, and walked over to the front desk to ask where my guitar teacher will be, and the front desk person pointed right behind me. I looked behind me and got scared because my guitar
