This song is a wakeup call for America to set a better example for the next generation. People are hurting other people. Some are paranoid of what will happen next. Life should not be scary, but there are people afraid to walk out and be among the chaos. Everybody is against one another, and they are not willing to compromise. “It’s time we stop” and look at what we are doing and what has become of us. There are wars for ignorant reasons, there are people hurting, there are innocent children watching, WAKE UP AMERICA! The riots and wars are not worth all of this pain and suffering.

The road of life can be a bumpy one. There will always be twists and turns that can alter a person’s life, changing the course of their destination. Even though life can be tough, you have to draw upon your inner strength in order to persevere. The songs, “Move Along” by The All-American Rejects and “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” by Greenday sing about this message. The lyrics in their songs have many literary devices such as personification, repetition, symbolism and juxtaposition. The personification will help you

Living in a perfect society. Depressed. Anthem is a story where they live in a perfect society. Our world now is almost becoming that., Being controlled by our government. Being controlled by the cops, the government. Being depressed plays a big part in our society. Having people commit to things they don't want to make, which makes them feel awkward and uncomfortable.

“Meanwhile in another part of town/ Rubin Carter and a couple of friend are drivin’ around/…When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road/ Just like the time before and the time before that./ In Paterson, that’s just the way things go./ If you’re black you might as well not show up on the street,/ ‘less you wanna draw the heat.”

On the streets of Chicago gang violence is common. 72% of people who die are murdered. Children everyday are affected by this atrocity. Schools are filled with drugs and violence. This was the everyday life of me, Jazmine Harper. My 18 year old brother Demaris was in a gang, the Reds. My mother was a construction worker and my dad left me the day I was born. My family lived in Riverdale, one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Chicago. Things haven’t really changed since I left.

These lines start out a song about finding what you are worth and what drives us. It’s lines also remind us about how the Great Depression took everything away from many people. Women and foreign born people had it the hardest when the wave of unemployment started. They were the first to go. Mothers couldn’t pay for food for their children and foreigners were looked at as scum. Women were also responsible for the families money, and they too cut costs by firing house workers. Many racist people would not hire African Americans and Native Americans were swept

it killed me to accept that i was such an ugly person. That i managed to push away everyone that I truly cared about. Did you see? How perfectly I played it? Like it didn't even hurt... like I was tired of the tedious speeches i had to go through everyday; telling you that I didn't want you or that you never mattered to me. And you actually had the guts to believe it all. If you could see my insides screaming at me, if you could, for a second peak at my dying heart, to just get a glimpse you would understand the monstrous act I play every time we see each other. But aggravate all you want, this beast only does this for its own protection. Who are you to think that you can just come here and change my rules? to bend my lifestyles? To make me a poet?

"The world didin't always look like this......the world wasen't always like this. At one time the world was vast with green and ocean's as blue as the sky opposing them. People like you and me loved and laughed with their family's and friends. Animal's like the dog next to me were beautiful creatures. Ace next to me there was my dog.....no matter what he stayed next to me all the way till now...he was the only thing that gave me hope in the world my ace in a deck of cards. People were better before..they came. Now it's time i tell you about the giant in the background.

Lyrics and rhythm pass through me as the beat speeds up. Lyrics of a language that not many people know of. However, one understands what they say and is consumed within those words. My parents immigrated to this country to seek better opportunities for my brother and I. It was difficult for my father to find any job he could just to send over some money to my mother in Peru. My father is truly an inspiration to me. All his life, he was told that he could not surpass obstacles to become successful. He was told that he would become a fisher or a construction worker, a profession men took in his hometown.

My team the Battlefield Bobcats were never the underdogs going into a championship game. The clock was ticking down, there were only 12 minutes left in the game. My legs were tired, body aching, I was drenched in sweat and my team 's energy was nowhere to be found. Every pass my team would make would not be completed. It was either a sloppy pass due to exhausted legs or intercepted by the other team. My head was down with frustration and my spirit was broken. I wanted to just fall to the ground and crawl into the shade. I felt defeated.
