The listener takes in the words of a song and directly relates them to the singer, trying to come up with meaning purpose that the singer could have for performing the song, rather than just accepting a contract. It is difficult to accept that one is singing a song merely to sing, as listeners we “make assumptions about the appropriateness of the relationship between singers and songs” (Bicknell, 262). As audience members, by making these assumptions we create the persona for an individual and expect them to follow through as if the persona we know of them is true. The persona is built off not only what they sing and the portrayal of themselves, but also completely arbitrary things like race and gender, these things should not have much of an impact on who a person is, but the traits become magnified when addressing a public persona. Singing can be compared to acting in such that “the public persona is like the constraints of the role of an actor” (Bicknell, 267). Regarding this comparison an actor must take on a role of a certain character, despite not actually being connected to a character in any way. Though it may be the case that certain

You’re in the market for a new truck; you have an idea about what you want but not quite sure if you want a gasoline or a diesel engine. Well, gas and diesel engines are very similar yet different in quite a few ways.

The short story “The Death of Schillinger” was a story about a First Sergeant whom ruled over labor sector ‘D,’ a laboring portion of Birkenau which was formally known as the Auschwitz extermination camp. Schillinger was a short stocky man and was truly evil at his essence; “He visited the crematoria regularly and liked to watch people being shoved into the gas chambers.” (pp.144) One day in August of 1943, the SS were unloading a transport and preparing to load stripped Jews into the gas chambers. However, before this could be done Schillinger took a liking to one of the nude women and grabbed her out of line; she threw gravel in his eyes,

During the time of World War II, people considered inferior to the Nazis were sent off to concentration camps. Determining who lives and who dies was done mainly by separating those who are healthy and able to work from those who are not. So in order for these inmates to survive, they had to make themselves appear as healthy and work-capable as possible for as long as possible. Making this work was a struggle for most people. But for those that made it off of the train and into the cells of the concentration camp, there was a sliver of hope. This hope came from the letters and packages that they were allowed to receive from home, and also the

In this article “Why the Gasoline Engine Isn’t Going Away Any Time Soon,” Joseph B. White states that alternative energy cars could be the start of a revolution in the automaker world, however, complications interfere with the outcome.

In his short story “This way for the gas, ladies and gentlemen” was set in a concentration camp in Auschwitz. The narrator was a polish prisoner who worked under Nazi rule, we can assume it is based on Borowski’s real life.

An accelerant inside a plastic one-gallon container. The accelerant was identified as gasoline. The fires were being set in the early morning between 2 am and 6 am. The homes were all single family, with the fires being started either one the front or back porch. There was a cloth wick that was tied onto to the plastic gallon container. This gave the arsonist plenty of time to get away. There were remnants of plastic shopping bags that were found by ATF in the debris. The plastic bags were how the arsonist carried the gallon of gasoline and avoided being detected. Over the next two weeks, there were four more fires all within a few miles of each other. These events had been going on for between one and two years before police caught on to the pattern. Cloth socks used as wicks. In

In addition, following their attack in 2.00-2.35, they see others who have tried to break the rule and go against their norms were left alone in a corner. This portrayed the stereotype of the society as being rejected by the other people who have not followed their culture. It can be noted that from the start of the song, each color remains untainted and rigid and it has only changed when the people started questioning and break their own stereotypes. For example the lyrics of the song '' Don't you think it's funny how they tell us how to live?

Both S. A Novel About the Balkans by Slavenka Drakulic and This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen by Tadeusz Borowski are novels that tell the tale of those who were victims of some of the worst crimes ever committed in human history.

The song then addresses women who live in this society, and the sort of things that they have to go through living in such a harsh environment. It explains this in sort of a story format describing a girl that was unable to support herself, so she ended up becoming a pimp for prostitution to make money; things like this are relevant to today’s society and how some women get into pornography and prostitution as an easy way to make money to support themselves. One of the last major points that is made is how people that are born into this life, see it as the only lifestyle that is fit for them, as they are all surrounded by it. This also has importance because of how relevant it is when it comes to places in California or Brooklyn

Music can have a big influence on society or a person individually, this can be because everyone has personal feelings and perceives music differently. For this song assignment I choose If I were a boy by Beyonce Knowles. I choose this song because of how gender is seen in society and the differences between men and women and it’s impact in our world. The reason this song makes me think in a sociological manner is because we as people don’t know what it is like to be one gender or the other. Also, there are differences between the genders and we blame society for creating these differences, however we don’t actually stop assuming or agreeing with these differences. I think that personally I don’t always understand how there is such a big difference

Well we all know that the energy system is very unstable because the total energy available on the earth is limited, and man has exploited all the conventional technologies to fulfill his needs. By the use of these conventional technologies, the world also has a disability, with problems such as global warming. Consumption of energy by man increased gradually as his wants also increase. The conventional energy resources mainly include fossil fuels, but research shows that this fuel source will be depleted completely in approximately 20-25 years. This could cause major setbacks around the world. As a result, we need an alternative source of fuel that could keep the world running on its wheel. One possibility is ethanol. Chemically extract
