    In the book We Are The Rangers and the song “Happy” by Pharrell Williams both explain how life is tough but there's always room for laughter and fun. Life is going to be hard at time and times are rough but no one wants to live their life miserably so always make time for happiness. According to Stan Fischler, “We played a tough game but we also had a million laughs” (Fischler 60). It was a hard fought game but the players had fun on the bench and in the locker room and were enjoying what they were playing. The lyrics explain how nothing will get you down and always feel happy.…

    The narrator of the poem is a woman who is in love with the mysterious man. She refers to him as my love in line 23 of the poem, and mentions her heart has died a thousand little deaths in the wake of his shameless womanizing in line 8. She also clearly possesses the ability to control her behavior despite her emotional state. Throughout the poem there is a repetition of the phrase “Oh, I can” followed by behavior contradictory to her actual feelings. She states that she can smile, laugh, listen, and marvel at this man’s tales of bedroom conquests, yet it is clear his behavior does hurt her.…

    In my Opinion Sherman Alexie wrote “The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me” with the purpose of informing the reader of the challenges he faced as a young Indian boy that “The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie was not supposed to be educated by societies standards. Alexie used his own personal experiences as a young smart Indian to express his point of view. His love of books derived from his love and adoration of his father. The purpose of this essay is to indicate how one does not need to be affluent to learn. In the piece, Alexie opened up by saying he learned to read in a “Superman Comic book” (28).…

    Why Plays Are Performed and Not Read Sounds, sight, emotion, actors are all pieces of a play that are signs. Signs that let you know this a performance, rather than words on a page. As I read the play there are moments within those scenes that made me try to envision it and depict what it could look like. I pictured characters’ faces, bodies, voices, attitude, and overall personality, but to turn those ideas and visions into reality is in another sense a type of revelation. In August Wilson’s, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, as much as the characters leap off the page through reading the play, you get a better understanding of August Wilson’s story through the performance of actors on a stage with props, lighting, and sound effects.…

    From within the two passages I was able to analize the information provided by the authors and produce a compare and contrast essay. In “The Lonely, Good Company of Reading", reading is considered irrelevant or to comprehensive for most, but Richard Rodriguez was determined to break the mold placed upon learning by individuals in his societies. In " Superman and Me", the author Sherman Alexie shows how he was able to overcome and become more than what his community expected him to accomplish. While both come from simalar economic backgrounds, they also succsessfully achived an education. Regardeless of thier simularitys each have different degrees of support from an adult authority figure, along with unique expiriences of racisum.…

    Over the course of thousands of years, human behavior remained consistent. There are striking parallels between the past and the present that are beautifully preserved in the words of poems, songs, and other writings. Even though the terminology and language may be different, the message remains true. An example of such a pairing is the 2nd century poem from Basavanna, “Before the grey reaches the cheek” and the 20th century song by Billy Joel, “Piano Man.” At first, the poem and the song seem like they don’t correspond with each other, but at a closer glimpse, the similarities are astonishing.…

    Along in this stanza he reflects on the times at his childhood home 2014 Forest Hill Drive, a home physically far from perfect, until his mom defaulted on her loans, which caused the home he ever knew to become foreclosed. Uncertain of what his mom was going through, he explains and later apologizes that instead of being there to acknowledge his mother’s troubles, he was gladly indulging in women and chasing parties in New York City. Blaming himself for being selfish for chasing and enjoying his success, looking back on his life as an adult, he consequently is remorse about not being there for his loved ones. Fast forward in his life, now in a relationship, he is starting to notice that the way he treats his girlfriend is more robust and different in way compared to his relationship with his mother. Knowledgeable of this reality, he says, “And though it don’t always show I love her just like I love you” (verse 1 line 22), he reveals that although his past actions and relationships with others might suggest otherwise, however he wants her to know he loves her regardless of anything.…

    “Only with words and people and love you move at ease; in traffic of wit expertly maneuver …”. After describing her unpredictability when crossing the street, this metaphor speaks volume and shows how much her ability to effortlessly hold a conversation with others is treasured and adored. The final stanza in its entirety is a proclamation of the depth of his love. The author expresses his need for his lovers company and even gives her permission to continue on smashing glasses. In the final lines he expresses the sadness that would take over if she were to die, the phrase “… hands drop white and empty…” metaphorically representing death.…

    “Waiting for Superman” is a song by the band Daughtry. The lyrics tell a story about a girl waiting for the right guy, or ‘superman.’ But while the song lyrics seem focused on the girl, a damsel in distress; the music video accompanying it focuses on telling the story of a man—the story’s superman. The story this video tells is heavily influenced by the pop-culture definition of a superhero, developing a comic-book-esque origin story for this song’s main characters. This underlying theme of comic books and superheroes is conveyed not only in the story told, but also in the portrayal of the characters, the emotion expressed by the setting and lighting, and lyrics of the song.…

    What is prime reality – the really real? I was thinking ‘What is reality’? I decided to look up the definition. “Reality is the conjectured state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or might be imagined. In a wider definition, reality includes everything that is and has been, whether or not it is observable or comprehensible.…

    B.u.l.l.y (Big,Ugly,Lonely, Loser, Yearning for attention) Have you heard the saying “Sticks and Stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me” this saying is a lie, words hurt because they have the power to heal or hurt someone, but it’s your choice in which way you choose to use them.

    In today’s society, you can go almost anywhere and still find that someone is still getting bullied for the way they look, how they act, or what they wear. However no one knows deep down what that person has felt or suffered through. No one knows the pain, struggles, and obstacles that person may have overcome to become half the person they are today. Nobody has the right to judge another human being for the way they are because in the end it won’t matter. In Mark Willis’ song “Don’t laugh at me don’t call me names” he goes through the many cases of where somebody is being judged, laughed at, or hurt.…
