Brom Bones is very strong and has a huge ego. The songs on his playlist would be about being the best at everything, being very loud and proud, and about being strong. The first song on his playlist would be “Hall of Fame” by The Script. In the “Legend of Sleepy Hollow” text it says “From his Herculean frame and great power of limb, he had received the nickname of Brom Bones…”(Irving 43). The reason for this song is the lyrics use phrases like “You could move mountains” and “You can break rocks”. The second song on his playlist would be “Cocky” by Kid Rock. It the book it says “...having a mingled air of fun and arrogance” (Irving 43) when the text is describing Brom. The title of the song has almost a perfect fit to Brom Bones’ personality

    Contemporary rock band Imagine Dragons sang the line “It’s a revolution, I suppose…” in their Grammy Award-winning song “Radioactive”. Surprisingly, Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson, the main character in the book The Titan’s Curse, can relate to this line, as well as the rest of the song. Although The Titan’s Curse is a fiction book based on Ancient Greek Mythology, it shares the same theme with Radioactive, a popular rock song. Both pieces of literature show the reader that you can you can overcome your obstacles if you are willing to do it. However, Riordan uses metaphors to convey this theme, while Imagine Dragons uses imagery to represent the same thing.…

    His songs clearly fall into the hip-hop genre, but have a jazz and gospel twist. His songs have been called “colorful” and “creative” due to his uncommon styles. His music style is not the only kind that stands out, his fashion is fairly unconventional too. He has designed a few Chicago White Sox hats and strives to “redefine fashion” by wearing clothes that set him apart, like overalls as I mentioned in the first paragraph. This is partly to help self advertise, since he does not have a studio to put his name out for him.…

    Each year many children, teachers, and other innocent people died because of gun shooting violence in school. Most of the time, it’s the person who was oftenly being bullied and teased at who commits this crime. Thus, we should prevent bullying and promote the consequences of gun violence.

The lyrics to “Jeremy” are very straightforward and easy to understand.…

    For the opening moment of the play, I thought it would be appropriate to include a song that gives a sense of mystery and fear; to be rather eerie. In the beginning, it is late in the night, as Francisco, a patrolling guard, is waiting for the character Bernardo to relieve him from his watch duty. Francisco is nervous as he claims that he has seen a ghost wandering around that looks like the deceased king, Hamlet senior. Given this, I decided to employ the 2010 song “Monster” by the Chicago hip-hop artist Kanye West, as it has a rather creepy and dark feel to it. Focusing specifically on the beginning of the song, Kanye West states “oh just another lonely night, are you willing to sacrifice your life?”…

Artists like Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar are known for sampling other artist’s music or speeches and incorporating them into their songs to enhance the message or theme that is trying to be presented. Kendrick Lamar uses a sample in his song “Alright” to help illuminate what life is like as an African American and the struggles that they face due to their skin color.…
