    The lyrics of the song are tragic in the way of being about self-consummation of the girl always worrying about her beauty, fate in the relationship not lasting with a hurtful companion, and release of the girl hopefully one day finding her true self and being okay with that. The lyrics also deal with dramatic illusion by having an uncertain destiny with the girl finding her beauty, and can be a little intense by saying the girl was more confident before the relationship or even before what other people thought. Based on those, this song is incongruent, meaning the controversial message is made more acceptable and the tranquility of the musicality helps that work…

    When I was younger, I struggled to support any friendships for an extended period of time. Before I moved to GCMS School district, I had previously attended three separate schools for the same few reasons. My parents could not afford to live where we did, one or both lost their job, or the environment was not suitable for our family. Moving so often made it difficult to keep in contact with old friends, and even more difficult to make new ones. As I was shy and introverted, it was an intimidating and terrifying situation.…

    It stands to reason that if a music track is misogynistic, society will frown upon the track, for such ideas belong 50 years back. Despite this knowledge of societal repercussions, music continues to be against the feminist movement. Recent artist RaeLynn produced a track titled, “God Made Girls,” and, as expected, drew massive amounts of societal backlash as a result. In an online article titled, “RaeLynn Shakes Off Anti-Feminist Criticism of 'God Made Girls': Behind the Hit,” (http://www.etonline.com/music/160350_raelynnshakes_off_anti_feminist_criticism_of_god_made_girls_behind_the_hit/) RaeLynn responds to criticisms of being anti-feminist. When asked about whether or not she considered herself a feminist, RaeLynn responded with, “I believe that women should be treated just like men,…

As uncomfortable and as hard as these moments were to go through, they were the moments that showed me what I valued in my friends. It also showed me that they weren’t the people I was supposed to be friends with. As time goes on I become more and more confident and comfortable with the decisions that I have made that have made in choosing the friends that I have today. We were bound to stop being friends due to the amount of change they undertook in their morals and attitudes and how much I had not.…
