Rhetorical Analysis of “Don’t Cash Crop On My Cornrows” Amandla Stenberg utilizes the internet, Youtube, to educate a global audience on cultural appropriation and black and hip-hop culture.

Although racism seemed to be depleting over the years, there are still many examples of…

Rather than her sitting at a dressing table or wearing a long gown, the women are seen doing things such as getting off a plane. They are more active in the world. The line from this “eyes as unique as your signature”, can kind of go both ways. It is saying that your make-up is unique and shows your personality rather than create one for you, but it also says that make-up is what creates that…

At the NRJ Music Awards, Katy Perry was performing when her background tape skipped, revealing Perry was lip syncing. The host of the show came out and apologized, but asked Perry to perform from the top, truly singing this time. Perry’s second performance involved risk, lack of preparation, and dancing, thus proving no need to lip syncing was needed…

one that's in control of the relationship. She also has a great eye and is very observative. I chose the lyric, “I got the eye of a tiger, the fighter,” by Katy Perry. For my first quote I chose, it represents Remy’s fierceness and that she will not let anyone persuade her into anything. Also, I feel like this quote matches her when Katy Perry says “the fighter,” because Remy is truly a fighter. The first part of the lyric, “eye of the tiger,” represents my second quote I chose for how…

remains of the spot of dried lather that had worried me all afternoon” (37?). In the book The Great Gatsby there are many times where the character Nick Carraway has some gay implications. To show this I have chosen the song “I Kissed a Girl” by Katy Perry. This song represents Nick being in closet and still acting on it.

There are so many advertisements that are advertised throughout the day, whether it is on Pandora, YouTube, or TV there is one advertisement I cannot escape. The ad is the Covergirl So Lashy Blast Pro Mascara, which is not only selling mascara but promoting equality. For that reason this ad is an example of postmodernism. According to the book postmodernism is define in many different ways but the book focuses on four major features and value which are populism, diversity, nostalgia, and paradox…

In the song Roar sung by Katy Perry, it explains that how the singer is going to stand up for herself and make sure that she is heard. This is teaching people that they can stand up for yourself to anyone and he/she will feel better when they do so. The first verse, “I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath” would be an idiom because that would hurt her tongue and she would pass out from the lack of oxygen. It would be realistic for her to do that. “Scared to rock the boat and make a mess”…
