Crazy
Have you ever heard a song and got one feeling, but when you hear the same song and lyrics jut done by another artist; it just gives you a completely different feeling? The song, Crazy by Patsy Cline originally did this song in 1961. Then it was redone by a group called Kidneythieves in 2008 is just one example.
Crazy by Patsy Cline is a much softer melody. When she sings, you feel sorry for her. You can really hear the sorrow in her voice. If you have been in that situation you can most likely relate to how she is feeling in the song. Even if you have not been in this situation, someone listening to this song can most likely feel the sadness this woman is trying to portray in her song.
The version by Kidneythieves is a totally different

    I choose the songs “Walkin’ After Midnight” by Patsy Cline (1957), “Darkest Valley” by Group 1 Crew (2012), and “Who I Am Hates Who I’ve Been” by Relient K (2004). I choose these three pieces because they are all something that I listen to regularly and they demonstrate a variety of styles in music. Patsy Cline was an iconic female country singer that won awards at the Deejay Convention, won Billboard’s “Most Promising Country & Western Female Artist,” and Music Vendor’s “Greatest Achievement in Records” all just for “Walking After Midnight” (Jones, 1994, p. 159). “Walkin’ After Midnight” music was written by Alan Block and the lyrics were written by Don Hecht ("Walkin' After Midnight." Second Hand Songs - A Cover Songs Database.).…

    The first job someone has is often memorable in many ways, they are earning their own money, accepting a new form of responsibility, and they’re usually treated horribly because their position is seen as inferior. In today’s world, people who work jobs that don’t require a degree are looked down upon. It is often ignored that the resources that are needed to obtain the education that is required for a white collar job, are not available to everyone. A certain intelligence that comes of blue collar workers and what they must deal with is also dismissed. There is no shame in being a blue collar worker, it requires a completely different skill set that cannot be taught.…

    In the advertising industry there are numerous schemes and strategies to increase the sale of products in stores, magazines, television and even on the radio. Unfortunately, advertisers do not simply stick to selling to adults, they too target innocent children. They become the perfect target as advertisers take advantage of child vulnerability and the lack of knowledge, to convince them they need or want the product. As Jean Kilbourne states in the extract from her book Can't Buy My Love How Advertising Changes the Way We Think and Feel , “ Not only are children influencing a lot of spending in the present, they are developing brand loyalty and the beginnings of an addiction to consumption that will serve corporations well in the future.” Many individuals grow up and their love for a specific brand follows.…

    In the poem “Goodnight Saigon”, Billy Joel reveals the negative effects that lack of preparation can have on a military by describing the harsh realities of war. Like many others stories of war, soldiers often come in excited and ready to defend their countries but then soon realize the brutalities of the battlefield. However, this poem differs from many other American stories because this time, America did not come out successful. The author and his soldiers excited, would soon realize that they came unprepared as “[they] came in spastic / like tameless horses / [but] left in plastic / as numbered corpses”(Joel 8-11).…

    In “Behind the Beautiful Forevers” Katherine Boo argues that societies are becoming corrupt because of capitalism’s prevalence in modern societies. Capitalism is creating an economy where products and profits are owned by companies and individuals instead of the government. ("Capitalism" Merriam Webster) Having profits owned by individuals drive owners to create inequitable systems that take advantage of lower class citizens. The systems drive the lower class to compete against one another to create a small profit, that will soon be taken away by the individuals or companies that “own” the profit created by the system.…

    In the piece “Anything Goes” the vocalist is Ella Fitzgerald accompanied by an orchestra. At the beginning of 1:54 the orchestra begins to play with Fitzgerald. I believe that the band is playing of a written arraignment. It is very difficult to improvise, and make it sound like it wasn’t. Also it seems right for the orchestra to begin playing since she just ended her set.…

    I chose to research the box and whisker plot for my final project, because I remember when I learned it in high school that I enjoyed it more than most math things. I could also understand how it worked better, so I thought that I could explain it better in my paper and in the presentation than the other topics. The box and whisker plot is used to show the shape of the distribution, it's central value, and it's variability. Before Barry Manilow's 74th birthday, he started to wonder, what are the ages of people's favorite singers? Barry thought for a while, how could I find this answer?…

An example of imagery used is when she implies, “We were born and raised in the summer haze. Bound by the surprise of our glory days”. In that quote, Adele is simply saying that the summer romance was filled with fun amongst her and her ex.…

This is similar to when we find out that Mayella was abused by her father but still loves him because well, it’s her father. They both show unhealthy relationships and how bad things can be at home. The mood in both of this song and the book is desperate. They are both desperate for love and will do anything to stay by their family/man.…
