Black Eyed Peas

These past few daws we have been independently reading different texts that we as an individual like. Our top three picks as a class, we then got to analyze for different organization or text features and word choices. As a result we compared 3 top texts picked by class and our own looking at the specific features I mentioned before. My text, the 2016 version of ¨Where is the love¨ by The Black Eyed Peas is relaying a message in itself. The songs purpose is to express and reflect, by giving one's opinion about what is going on with in the U.S right now. The song is organized in stanzas, but the organization of the music video has the biggest impact and achieves the author's purpose. The video provides a visual of how individuals feel about what is going on with the world right now. The faces of the people look depressing and questioning to whoever is watching. Seeing as it flows with the lyrics, the images being shown have a great impact. The top pick of the class is A Child Called IT by Dave Pelzer. This is a book and we analyzed it as a book. The book is a nonfiction narrative intended for a mature audience because it contains cruel scenes.…

The group of musicians and song I have chosen is Black Eyed Peas featuring Justin Timberlake: Where is the Love (United States, c. 2003 ). The genre of this phenomenal song is in the hip-hop category. In existence, there are two versions of this song—the first one was release in 2003 and the second version which featured other musicians was released in 2016. I am focusing on the first version because I find the philosophical statements that truthfully depict the path human beings on the Earth is…

The Black Eyed Peas did a song, Where is the love back in 2003 depicting the struggle and problems going on with the nation at the time. It was done post 9-11 and addressed government corruption and terrorism. This year, The Black Eyed Peas came up with an updated version of the song because of wanting to remind people that there's still problems that need to be addressed and changed for the better. I believe the song accurately depicts what's been happening in our nation, but has not addressed…

One custom in the southern regions of the United States eating black-eyed peas as a way to ensure good luck and prosperity throughout the year ahead. Although I am not from the South, many of my friends have families that are. The…

To get the listeners attention, the Blacked Eyed Peas start their song “Where is the Love?” with a question. When you start a song with a question, it makes the listener think that something important is going on. Although this song came out eleven years ago, it continues to have relevance today. The fact that people still listen to the song today means that it has had an impact in their lives. Three rhetorical ideas that are in this song are logos, ethos and pathos. Logos is the basic logic…

Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mockingbird and The Black Eyed Peas’ song “Where is the Love” both tackle the problem of racism and overall intolerance of others. Lee’s novel takes place in the 1930s and focuses on the Finch family as the father, Atticus, takes on a case where he is defending a black man from the accusation of a white man and women. On the other hand, “Where is the Love” addresses discrimination as a whole and seems to question your empathy for other people. When placed side by…
