Melanie Martinez

Andrew Lloyd Webber is a man who made the musical Evita to keep her legacy alive long after her death. Although he does this, he knows that Evita and her husband Juan Peron were people of questionable pasts. I agree with Webber that both of them should be relished for what they did in helping Argentina, but their pasts are nothing to be proud of. People should take caution to putting these two as ideal model figures. Maria Eva Duarte, otherwise known as Evita, and Juan Peron were two of the most…

Before the start of the Dirty War in 1976, Argentina was undergoing huge amounts of political instability. Governments were being overthrown, leader’s assassinated, and left-wing right-wing guerilla groups were utilizing terrorism and strikes against the government and one another. After many changes in leadership, Isabel Peron, wife of the assassinated Juan Peron leader of the Peronist, was ousted by a coup led by a military junta. Lieutenant General Jorge Rafaél Videla assumed the role of…

The most outstanding part about Melanie Martinez’s song is that she uses a lot of literary devices in order to touch a sensitive topic in a unique way. Despite having a rather childish and simple title of "Mrs. Potato Head," the song is a PSA is concerning the problem of plastic surgery and beauty standards for women. In fact,"Mrs. Potato Head," by Melanie Martinez, communicates the pain of beauty using symbolism, similes, and repetition. Melanie uses symbolism to create an alternate figure for…

violence, and then we have those sappy love songs that we all listen to. It’s too bad that many of them are superficial though. Once in awhile we can find those songs that actually mean something to the world. My first song is Mrs. Potato Head by Melanie Martinez. I personally love this song. It is about how the expectations of women is to get plastic surgery and wear a bunch of makeup to look pretty. The singer probably sang this because they were facing discrimination for not being what the…

“Mrs. Potato Head” by Melanie Martinez is about unrealistic body standards and how many girls feel insecure because they do not look like other conventionally attractive people. This particular song talks about plastic surgery and how even though one may feel insecure, it might not be worth getting surgery because there is always the chance that you will regret it afterward. Melanie Martinez has always been someone I admired because of she often speaks of difficult topics in her songs. “Mrs.…

Cry baby is the name of the character the writer has used for the story. In the story/song Cry Baby start accepting herself but then one day she sees a women on TV who had plastic surgery and says that pain is beauty.

surgeries do not last forever, look unnatural, and can ruin the way you age, meaning you 'll need more to fix it; that 's where it all goes south.

Implying that once you start it becomes an addicting -- and sometimes necessary due to…

somewhat dark, but Melanie Martinez's Dollhouse is all of this and much more. Dollhouse was Melanie Martinez's debut song after competing in The Voice. It mostly has an AABB rhyme, with outlying lines that have no rhyme throughout the song. Dollhouse talks about a young girls dollhouse and its inhabitants, a perfect-seeming family with many issues. The song is narrated by the daughter in the family of dolls- named Crybaby by Melanie- and her observations. In Dollhouse, Melanie Martinez uses…

no to anything, however, in the end, it is better to be a kind person because there will always be someone that will be able see more than what is on the outside. Two point of views that could be seen within this movie is that of the protagonist Melanie, and that of Innocent as an illegal immigrant. In Melanie’s point of view, being nice is natural for her, but she takes it as a sense of extreme, either you are nice and do everything for everyone or you are “naughty” and are mean and nasty to…

to the poet and this is reciprocated in Real Love. While reading Fourth or Fifth Love I felt lighthearted and reminiscent. I felt that Real Love fit the poem well because of its carefree and resonate lyrics and melody. I chose Pity Party by Melanie Martinez due to its comparable lyrics and mood. Macaroni Love articulates on the downfall of a relationship and the spite towards her…
