Olivia Fatigato Analysis

In the Article “Taking a “War of Words” Too Literally” written by Deborah Tannen it is often indicated that being extremely pugnacious is the subconscious nature of our everyday Westernized society. This type of normalized reasoning for an altercation is pointed out as being the incorrect justification to have an argument. Therefore Tannen is correct that in today's society a vast majority of Americans have adapted a very fervent aggressive and argumentative culture that they do not seem to recognize. Modern politics and the media have a large role played out within the cultivation of such a contentious type of debate though the root comes from the education system.

To start off, I really enjoy the beat that Bryce uses on this track. This song features an upbeat rhythm, and the lyrics compliment the beat. The entire song is supposed to deliver a nostalgic feel to the listener. Throughout the song, He incorporates popular themes from his childhood into the lyrics, and the music video features these themes throughout. For me, I think the nostalgic theme works well with this song. It provides a happy, carefree feeling to the listener. When I listen to this song, it personally brings back feeling and memories from the summer I was shown it. Because of this, I believe the nostalgic theme of the song is a good fit. Another reason this is good music is because of the lyrics. These lyrics break away from the typical stereotype that is expected from rap/hip-hop music. It seems that recently, few popular songs have lyrics with meaning. Most feature lyrics that will appeal to the masses to sell the most records. This is where Bryce Vine differentiates himself from these artists. His lyrics share stories and experiences from his life, and are very personalized for the listener. I recently went to one of his concerts he had in East Lansing, and when he performed Sour Patch Kids, the entire crowd was singing along, and was brought together. This experience exemplifies what Bryce Vine’s music is all about; connecting people and delivering quality

I picked “A Thousand Year” by Christina Perri. I love this song since the first time that I heard it. This song tells you that time can fly, and we can die but even thou he/she will love you for an eternity. My second song is “Because You Love Me” by Celine Dion. She transmits a message thru this song about the person that has been with her forever and how graceful she is to be with him. The singer cannot be more clear when she sings “You were my strength when I was weak, You were my voice when I couldn't speak, You were my eyes when I couldn't see, You saw the best there was in me

As well, a woman’s place in the government was significantly different to a man’s. Geraldine Ferraro says, “For all that my female colleagues and I had achieved, we still had to more, work harder, and produce more to be judged the same as men” (Ferraro 57). She also says, “So much had changed…I arrived in Congress…I had joined the Congress Women's Caucus. But there were far to women in the House and Senate-only eleven Democrats and six Republicans to sway 435 votes” (Ferraro 41). Her evidence supporting the gender positions is evidenced by the ratio of men to women serving jobs in the government. She even goes on to acknowledge that if a woman works harder and is more efficient compared to the quality of a man’s work, at the end of the day

Gloria Anzaldua is among the many feminist theorists that has moved into the realm of addressing post-modern identities. In Gloria Anzaldua’s articulation of the new mestiza consciousness, she makes the argument of identities as multiple, hybrid, and more specifically created as a result of the Borderlands. However, according to Anzaldua, and despite the difficulties engendered by her very existence, the mestiza is also a figure of enormous potential, as her multiplicity allows a new kind of consciousness to emerge. This mestiza consciousness moves beyond the binary relationships and dichotomies that characterize traditional modes of thought, and seeks to build bridges between all minority communities to achieve social and political change.

Who is to officially declare what makes a man? Who can simply imply that one has become a man? These questions can be answered with the support of three textual symbols found in the novella by Angela Johnson. The First Part Last goes into great details of how a rural teenager must take on the responsibilities of raising a child while finding his maturity as time progresses. Many symbols are given to represent such changes, for example, Johnson inserts the use of colours to show the emotions Bobby is expressing in the scene to give feeling while spray painting on a city building.

The song “Hall of Fame” is one of those songs. I didn’t really listen to the actual words, but when I did, I found out that the song was even better than I thought with a great meaning. The song was great and shows that I can be anything that I want to be. This song is an amazing song with a great beat, but the words behind the song are a great part of the song.
