These past few daws we have been independently reading different texts that we as an individual like. Our top three picks as a class, we then got to analyze for different organization or text features and word choices. As a result we compared 3 top texts picked by class and our own looking at the specific features I mentioned before. My text, the 2016 version of ¨Where is the love¨ by The Black Eyed Peas is relaying a message in itself. The songs purpose is to express and reflect, by giving one's opinion about what is going on with in the U.S right now. The song is organized in stanzas, but the organization of the music video has the biggest impact and achieves the author's purpose. The video provides a visual of how individuals feel about what is going on with the world right now. The faces of the people look depressing and questioning to whoever is watching. Seeing as it flows with the lyrics, the images being shown have a great impact. The top pick of the class is A Child Called IT by Dave Pelzer. This is a book and we analyzed it as a book. The book is a nonfiction narrative intended for a mature audience because it contains cruel scenes.

It is a song, but it can be considered poetry. I believe the author's purpose with writing the song is to express and reflect. One feature that stood out to me was the stanzas.

If it were all blended together, the message wouldn't be as clear. Kid Cudi used repetition, an emotional and strong tone to match the type of writing this is. He repeats, ¨Now is the time to show what you're made of¨ (Cudi 2015). By repeating words, it emphasizes the importance of them and typically is used in poetry, lyrics and such which is appropriate for this type of
