In this analysis report I will be critically analysing two music pieces that are social justice bades. The two pieces I have decided to analyze to talk about social justice and what is happening our world. This world is going through too much regulation of harsh meaning, This is happening in our world. This world needs hope and we need to be strong. This two songs or poems talks about what is happening to the world. The two songs are “Dear Young Men of Color,” and “Hey Black Child.” These two songs are really important to our lifestyle today. This two songs are important. The first song I am going to talk about is “Hey Black Child.” This song compromises how a black kid excel in the world. This Song tells that each kid can be anyone in the world. In its first paragraph …show more content…
The first line says “ Did you know you are strong?, I mean really strong.” This show that we can be strong in your unique way. As it continues to speak it says that you are really strong, That no one can stop you. That when you are strong you are really strong. On the next line it says “ Do you know you can do, what you want to do, if you try to do, what you can do.” In this lines it is saying that we can do anything. In our world today, there are people that are holding us back where we can not pursue our dreams. This is happening all around the world and its not good. When we try to push ourselves we can do anything in the world. That we can stop the people that hold us down in this world. If we do this, we can do what we want to do in this world. On the next line it says “Be what you want to be, learn what you must learn, do what you must do, and tomorrow your nation will be what you want it to be.” This synthesising the whole meaning of this poem. This shows that we can do anything in the world. It foretells that we can do, that we can learn, that we can be. With all of this, we can turn our place to what we want it to

This Social-Self manifest in Citizen: An American Lyric, “A friend argues that Americans battle between the 'historical self' and the 'self self’.”' (Rankine 2014). Citizen helps the reader understand that the small everyday acts of racism can accumulate and potentially become toxic, this includes: being skipped in line at the pharmacy by a white man, because he has failed to notice you in front of him; being told approvingly, as a schoolchild, that your features are like those of a white person; being furiously accosted by a trauma therapist who does not believe that the patient she is expecting could look like you. Written by poet, essayist, and playwright Claudia Rankine. Rankine discusses the microaggressions, which is defined as the
It becomes softer at the line “this is how you love a man, and if this doesn’t work there are other ways, and if they don’t work don’t feel too bad about giving up” (Girl__). These are the first words uttered that have allowed for anything less than perfection. They tell the girl that it is ok to give up sometimes, that it is ok if she cannot make something work. The Speaker tells her “this is how you spit up in the air” as if giving her permission to be carefree. She ends her speech with these words, “You mean to say that after all you are really going to be the kind of woman who the baker wont let near the bread?” (Girl__). This speaker believes that everything she has just shared with the young girl will make her into a strong woman, a woman that no one will say no
The purpose of this poem is to encourage people in despair or people who are about to give up on something to keep pushing forward. Encouragement is made apparent in lines 23-24 “And so hold on when there is nothing in you, Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”.” Determination and encouragement go hand in hand and are both made obvious through “If” which is why this poem is relevant to the Book Lethal and the news
This closing-line can be interpreted in many ways and this is one of the reasons why it is so memorable. The most popular interpretation for this line is that we will push forward in life and make progress but can be taken backwards due to moments in our past. This explanation is generally the first way to think of the line but many could provide different interpretations that one might not
I think that the poet is trying to tell us to live life to the fullest
Being able to yourself and being able to prosper as you need too. Line 7 is telling the same story. Once a fire or spark is lit it cannot be stopped. It will grow with a passion that cannot be contained like stated in line 2 and 3. Line 8 says that the personalty have never been enslaved.
The symbolism in this song is that life is hard for other members of the society. This song regards a man trying/ resolving to alter his ways before starting to change the world. This
In the chorus shows a lot of the motivation in by saying that “you can” or “you could” over and over again. “You can be a master… You could beat the world”. It telling the listener that you can over and over again will make you believe that you can. The singer says “Be students Be teachers Be politicians Be preacher” which kind of shows that you can do what you put
In the beginning of the poem, Cooper talks about the future being handed over to her readers and that we are being looked upon to make changes and a better world for everybody in it. She influences readers making them think about how
In the first two lines it talks about being the best. You can always work to be better. The song says that you can move a mountain. You cannot really move a mountain, but it shows that you can do anything, even the impossible. It also says that if you dedicate yourself, you will be successful.
Music has a dynamic ability of influencing emotions, from mood regulation to rumination and self-expression. The presence of political and social messages in popular music is frequently seen across cultures, in particular focusing on social issues and racism (Back, 2000, 127). This paper attempted to explore the political and social messages in popular music, more specifically it investigated the relationship between Soul music and civil rights movements in the United States.
The reason I choose this song because I like this song’s style, simple words but complicated emotion. I first read this song when I was in China during my middle school on our school’s magazine. There is a part called ‘everyday English’. On the magazine, they said the author of this song is Shakespeare. Actually this song comes from Turkey and no one knows who’s author. In the song, the author use Juxtaposition to express his counselor. In literature, juxtaposition is a useful device for writers to portray their characters in great detail to create suspense and achieve a rhetorical
