King & Country's Priceless

Decent Essays
For King & Country’s “Priceless” is about self worth; they are trying to say that you are not worthless, no matter what you do or what other people say. By saying “Irreplaceable, unmistakable, incomparable Darling, it's beautiful I see it all in you (oh so priceless),” the group explains that everybody is important and unique. They are saying that you’re more than what others say and think about you when they say “No matter what you've heard, this is what you're worth More than all the money or the diamonds and pearls.” By saying “It might be hard to hear, but let me tell you dear If you could see what I can see, I know you would believe That isn't who you are,” for King & Country is showing that people have heard so many bad things about

    Darkness is an overwhelming concept not fully understood until experienced. Many people live in darkness unknowingly. Without being aware, the Price’s lived in the dark for a long time; they drowned in their material possessions and corrupted views of life. The poem We Grow Accustomed to the Dark brings to light the horrors of darkness and how prevalent these nasty things are in everyone’s life. In the Poisonwood Bible, the women of the Price family learn to acknowledge their darkness and gain a new perspective on life as a result; their eyes have been opened to the true horrors and necessities that come from life, along with the small joys that come simply.…

    It is also precious in the sense that you must handle your life with care, place as much value on your life as you would with your greatest treasure and let it not be wasted on religion. I interpreted this poem as a collection of thoughts being read aloud to a friend. The image I imagined was Mary Oliver having a deep conversation about her thoughts about life. As I read the poem aloud and instantly thought the author was being very inquisitive and asking a round of questions whose only answer was by asking another question. The author uses anaphora in the first three lines when she repeats “who made the...”…

    Stephen Crane utilizes detailed examples and depicts a strong bias in his poem, “The Impact of a Dollar Upon the Heart”. This poem dramatizes the conflict within the wealthy. In this poem, he depicts the emotions and experiences between the contrasting lives between those with just one dollar compared to one million dollars. Crane’s overall focus is not to demean the wealthy but to prove that their public facade masks their private despair. Through the use of powerful symbols, metaphors, and shifts in tone HHH Crane characterizes the lives of the wealthy as burdened, strained, and cumbersome.…

    Is this land our land? In Woody Guthrie’s poem, “This Land Is Your Land,” the tone is set to be a joyful song, but the tone twists towards the end. As I read, I interpreted the poem in the tone of joy which transforms into disillusion when the speaker questions, “Is this land made for you and me?” (Guthrie line 24).…

    The Great Depression was only “great” if you enjoyed being poor and standing in breadlines; if that wasn’t your thing then the Great Depression was not for you. The great depression was horrible, in the early 1930’s over 10 million people were out of work and some people were even searching trash cans for food. There were protest in Washington D.C. by the same me who protect our country, dustbowls, and thousands of people standing in breadlines for relief; no, the Great Depression wasn’t all that grand. There were squatter areas named affectionately after President Herbert Hoover called “Hoovervilles” in which people who had lost their homes constructed shanties out of cardboard, tar paper, glass, lumber, tin and whatever else they could salvage .…

    Price Boy Song Meaning

    I decided to do my assignment on the song “Price Tag” by Jessie J. featuring B.o. B that was released on January 25, 2011 in the United Kingdom. Jessie J.’s conceptualizations about money are the un-importance of money, and although money is an incentive for modern people, there are other aspects to living a good life such as love and music. For example, in the chorus there is a part that sings, “We don’t need your money, money, money, we just wanna make the world dance, forget about the price tag” shows that the artist has an intention that she does not want a person’s money but rather make the world a better place. In the first verse of the song Jessie J. sings, “Seem like everybody’s got a price… ”.…

    On the night of January 28, in 1985 in the 97th General Hospital at a United States Army base in Frankfurt, West Germany, is the birthplace of a man that would soon change the music world forever with his powerful array of lyrical meaning and word play. Also known as Jermaine Lamar Cole, J. Cole’s arguably most popular song, “Love Yourz” not only demonstrates palpable humility in which Cole compares the two types of lives he has lived, but also distress to a belief that this nation has built itself around, the American Dream. Rapping at the age of twelve, Cole’s love and passion for creating music has spurred him to become the harbinger of rap music in today’s society. Living with only his older brother, Zachary, his mother, and only the image…

    “All Star” by Smash Mouth is encouraging song about choosing to be spectacular at what you do. The tone of the song is quite casual, written in first person and as if it was a conversation between the listener and the singer. It starts off with the singer admitting that “somebody once told me that the world is going to roll me”, and that he “ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed”. Clearly he doesn’t think that he amounts to much in the long run when it comes to following the rules and book smarts. This is furthered by him going to say that “it didn’t make sense not to live for fun, your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb”.…

    In the hip hop piece, “Fight the Power” by Public Enemy, alliteration and repetition of certain words together communicate the theme that honest hip hop music is not just entertainment, but also a powerful political force that can be used as the voice of people who need to be heard. The second half of the first stanza reads, “While the black bands sweatin’/and the rhythm rhymes rollin’/got to give us what we want/gotta give us what we need/” (Ridenhour et al 1). In this first part of the passage, heavy alliteration in “black bands” and “rhythm rhymes rollin’ ” helps readers first appreciate the passion and dedication put into making the hip hop music (Ridenhour et al 1). Next, repetition in “got to give us what we want/gotta give us what…

    How my life relates to “In a Prominent Bar in Secaucus One Day” I enjoyed X. J. Kennedy’s narrative poem “In a Prominent Bar in Secaucus One Day.” The poem was enjoyable as it was easy to read, straightforward, and entertaining. The author’s irony by stating in the title that it is a “prominent bar,” made me laugh. As Secaucus is known as a grungy farm town, and there is nothing prominent about it.…
