“When she saw Park standing at the bus stop… she started giggling. Seriously giggling like a cartoon character… It was ridiculous.” (Rowell 169). Throughout the story we see Eleanor as a character who was quiet and kept to herself, now we see her opening up later in the story. Told from a different point of view, someone views it as “ridiculous” that someone that was once quiet and awkward is now not as much like her old self. In her society, people already had a fixed impression of Eleanor, now that she has changed, people view it as something that is out of the ordinary. Eleanor’s growth of her character show how she is dissimilar from society’s assumption both physically and spiritually.

In the book, Eleanor and Park, It was Eleanor’s first day at a new school and she had to ride the bus. She dressed on the odd side, had bright red hair, and already labeled the fat girl. The kids on the bus already made assumptions about her. As Eleanor got on the bus kids moved the bags and scooted to the edge of the seats so Eleanor couldn’t sit with them. As Eleanor got closer and closer to the end of the bus she panicked. Park usually doesn’t sit with anyone and made the decision to let her sit with him, even knowing the consequences of teasing from other kids. Even though they never talked to one another they grew respect for eachother. To keep Eleanor from feeling like a total outcast Park would let her hang around him and his friends

I consider my favorite song to be, Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd and believe it has been my favorite ever since I could understand words. At first the song was only my favorite because it mentions my dads hometown, Muscle Shoals, and I just thought it was super neat. As I grew older my dad explained to me the meaning and the story of the song, and I only started to like it more. The song Sweet Home Alabama was written in the 1970’s as a response to two songs written by Neil Young. The two songs written by Neil Young were Southern Man and Alabama, and the songs essentially bashed on the southern people for slowing down the progress of getting rid of segregation. So Lynyrd Skynyrd decided to write Sweet Home Alabama strictly as a response

Reconciliation is an act of restoration, to unite, unify and up bring a stronger and more functional relationship between the Australian and Aboriginal community. To achieve complete reconciliation attempts from films, poetry, novels and other limitless elements, have been constructed to reflect the attitudes and values of the context in which are designed to accomplish this virtuous goal. Evidently, they demonstrate to be positively effective, through the countless response of the wider community. A powerful illustration that embodies a similar attitude, value and belief is Kerry Fletcher’s, Sorry Song. Written during the early years of indigenous rights, comes arguably one of the most iconic messages, of the Stolen Generation. Through purposefully using repetition and personification in each verse, Fletcher is without doubt singing in determination to expose the ugly history; federal governments effortlessly try to keep buried. Moreover, these techniques become equally more magnificent, when its context is directed and communicated through a non-aboriginal woman, despite the political arrogance at the time. However, In the light of what today symbolises, let us explore the hidden meaning behind Fletchers motivation, which helped mole the true significance of NAIDOC Day.

For the scene where Hamlet kills Polonius I have selected the song, “I Shot the Sheriff.” Towards the beginning of the song it says this, “Yeah! All around in my home town, They're tryin' to track me down” The man singing the song is telling his story in how people are trying to track him down to arrest him. It shows how Cloudius and the rest of the court are trying to track down Hamlet for killing Polonius. Next, he goes on to defend himself and make a claim. “ But I swear it was in selfdefence.” While, Hamlet never explicitly speaks the words, self defence, he does go about it as if it was not a big deal and shouldn’t be questioned. Later in the song a line of lyrics go, “I shot the sheriff…” This is the man, who is singing the song, admitting

The topic I chose to write about wasn’t a typical topic but rather a song that goes by the name “The Phoenix”. It was written by Fall Out Boy band members Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, Joe Trohman, and Andy Hurley. The song first appeared on US radios on July 16, 2013, though the album was released April 12 of that same year. The song being greatly inspired by Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich’s “Leningrad”. The songs’ music video is the second part of an eleven part music video series by the band.

Eleanor and Park were on the bus with numerous other kids, but Park’s love for Eleanor enabled him to show courage to her. Eleanor just hopped on the bus and saw Park smiling at her, which made her smile back, regardless of her being in front of everyone else.

Eleanor & Park is a fascinating story by Rainbow Rowell. The story is about a girl named Eleanor and a boy called Park. Eleanor is a new kid in town, with her weird clothes, bright red hair, she could not possibly stick out. Park is a boy who always has his headphones and comic books with.

There’s really no easy way to begin reviewing this album so let me start by saying how much I (used to) appreciate Kid Cudi’s music. During Cudi’s Man on the Moon phase, he was really brilliant at conveying a certain mood that was both appealing and dark. Although he was producing nothing groundbreaking, Cudi captivated a particular fan base and was effective at making music for that group of fans. WZRD, however, did something to Cudi. What started off as a side project turned into something that Scott Mescudi wanted to actively pursue within his own music. This alone isn’t necessarily a bad thing as artists are supposed to develop their sound and even make changes to their music over time, but in Kid Cudi’s case it was the start of his own

Eleanor and Park, Rainbow Rowell: Eleanor is an awkward person who doesn't seem to fit in anywhere. Park is a good student, he's got the looks, the brains, and seems to have everything together. How do these two completely different high schoolers end up together?

Set over the course of one school year in 1986, this is the story of two star-crossed misfits - smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. Eleanor and Park face many trials in their story and they always try to make their complicated love story just a little less messy, but sometimes that isn’t enough. Throughout this book both characters endure many difficult situations, but Eleanor in particular suffers in silence to protect Park, to protect her family, and to avoid becoming vulnerable.

The song "The message" by Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five depicts the struggle of young black adults growing up in society. The struggle to make it out of poverty can be compared to survival of the fittest in a jungle. Only the strong would survive and adapt to the changes to fit in. Trying their best to make a betterment with whatever little society offers. Being a young black African American in the early 1980's was not easy. It was easier to live the fast life and gain fast money by being part of the drug community. Drugs, guns, and money was glamorized and this is what the young adults looked at as a means of getting rich. In the songs, a young man talks about how he is trying hard to hold on to the little bit of sanity he has left in his soul. He talks about the struggle he endures while trying not to get pushed over the edge. He was born an innocent child who's blind to the ways of mind kind. Growing up he faced many challenges and had to fight

An old saying states that ‘birds of a feather flock together.’ It can be quite comforting to meet someone who is similar to yourself. Like-minded individuals not only validate our beliefs about the world, but also reduce the risk of conflicts and disagreements (Barelds & Barelds-Dijkstra, 2007, p. 479). In fact, research has shown that people are more likely to be in relationships with others who are similar to themselves in terms of attitudes, values, social group memberships, and physical appearances than with dissimilar others (Mackinnon, Jordan, & Wilson, 2011, p. 879).
