Decent Essays
“Everybody might be just one big soul,Well it looks that a-way to me.” Woody Guthrie wrote lots of songs that people loved. He also wrote This Land Is Your Land in 1940. He went all over the USA, to sing songs for people. He also sang 100s of songs around the USA. He sang songs to make people happy. The quote and the song are similar and also different.

So to compare the song and the writing that he wrote there are many similarities. For example, the song and the quote both have a message that is saying that he doesn't like a song that makes you feel like you're born to lose. Also in the quote he’s trying to make you think that you should take pride in yourself not negative things and he said in the song that this land is made for you

    According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary Jazz is “a type of music with strong rhythms, in which the players often improvise (= make up the music as they are playing), originally created by African American musicians.” Jazz music is regarded as unique by Jazz musicians and listeners.
