Though Jay-Z has found immense success, not just as a rap artist, but also as an entrepreneur and philanthropist, he presents himself more so in an apologetic, lamenting, and humble manner in his newest release, 4:44. Contrary to most lyrical themes in his previous work, Jay-Z spends a significant portion of 4:44 rapping in a shameful and apologetic manner for his prior mistakes regarding family life. Lyrical themes in 4:44 also extend to racism, stereotypes, and a strong personal revelation…

1. I think one reason why homophobia is more common among male to male relations rather than female to female relations, is reflected on the idea of machismo or being perceived as homosexual. When it comes to machismo, a man’s beliefs are deeply rooted to the idea that men should only like women. It’s an idea that is typically established early in a child’s life.

softens up his speech but, that quickly changes and he ironically diminishes his apology furthermore by transforming it into a pseudo-apology/non-apology. The incomplete acknowledgement of his offence was the first clear sign this man is not actually apologetic. “While my answers were legally accurate, I did not volunteer information.”(1 Clinton) By emphasizing that his decision to admit to his wrong doings were not by choice, that they were coerced, Clinton went to great lengths to minimize…

way of being a lower class. The doctor becomes frustrated with the patient parents because, of how they treat him. William Carlos Williams, in the story “The Use of Forces,” the doctor states “when I arrived I was met by the mother… very clean and apologetic who merely said, Is this the doctor?” (paragraph 2). This quote shows how the lady and the doctor are, from two different classes. The lady also questions the doctor, as if, he was not the doctor. A sense of a higher class is risen from this…

general perspectives, which is those of both upper and lower class. The Kelveys are important as the reader sees a glimpse into the poor, almost sadistic treatment that the people of lower class receive on a typical basis.

Hurston’s Seraph on the Suwanee, the narrator portrays the homely town of Sawley in west Florida, a town where “the scanty flowers in front yards and in tin cans and buckets looked like the people”. The narrator explores the town’s seemingly simple and rustic way of living, along with the ignorant yet paradoxically informed people in the town, that comes from the town’s attitude where “few knew and nobody cared”.
