Flash fiction can take on many different forms and structures. The type of material used and the way it is used can vary exceedingly or in the slightest way.

Although both Touré “I Shot the Sheriff” and Chris L. Terry “At Home with Rapper’s Delight” use a popular song as a platform to create a captivating short fictional story, they choose different elements of those songs to build it. In “I Shot the Sheriff” the story uses the lyrics of a song, and in “At Home with Rapper’s Delight” the story uses the history surrounding the song.

As it relates to Sociology, “Testify” deals mainly with Marxist Conflict Theory, and also incorporates many of the topics we have learned about in class throughout the semester.

At 00:00, the song begins with a strong drum line. It is harsh and sudden as though it is meant to surprise the listener rather than a softer intro. It is meant to get the listeners’ attention as well as to put them in the same mindset as the band. As the song continues, other instruments are added and as the singing starts, the drums almost fade entirely. Their importance moved from attention-grabbing to merely creating
Track6 is “Feel Good Inc” by the Gorillaz. I chose this song because I remember trying to look up the song on YouTube but could not find the band because I did not know how to spell the band name. Basically all my search results were home video people shot at the zoo. Anything that my brother listened to I thought was the coolest thing in the world. “Seven Nation Army” is one of many songs. Although the first intention were to act cool because that what big brother listened to, I ended really liking the song and is my go to favorites till this day. The reason behind “Jump” is because it reminds me of the time during my childhood when all the cool boys wore baggy Eco Red pants and girls wore giant hoop

Whether they right the songs or not they must have something original to sing and play before they can even try to be a success.

Singer/songwriter Taylor Swift once said, “Every singer out there with songs on the radio is raising the next generation, so make your words count” (Swift). Music plays an essential role in one’s everyday life. Honorable and influential lyrics impart an important message and help one deal with difficult life situations. Inspired by the book, The Hunger Games, the new single, “Safe & Sound,” by Taylor Swift (featuring the Civil Wars), embraces the power of love and protection among chaos. This idea echoes through the connection to the emotions of the characters from the book, impact of the lyrics to crucial life impediments, and effect of its calming mood.

A classic movie also needs to be memorable to the audience. With a classic it is all about the lasting impression on its viewers (Weeks par. 5). The new 2016 movie, Sing, meets all the requirements to be a classic. Sing is an animated musical comedy directed by Garth Jennings and Christophe Lourdelet. Sing is rated PG, and has won the Top Box Office Films from ASCAP Film and won Outstanding Music Supervision from Hollywood Music In Media Awards in 2016 (Awards par. 1). The movie, Sing, is about a Koala named Buster Moon who hosts a singing contest to help his failing theater business.
