Sheriff Woody

land? In Woody Guthrie’s poem, “This Land Is Your Land,” the tone is set to be a joyful song, but the tone twists towards the end. As I read, I interpreted the poem in the tone of joy which transforms into disillusion when the speaker questions, “Is this land made for you and me?” (Guthrie line 24). Reading Guthrie’s poem, I came to the conclusion that because of all the hardships America went through in the 1930s, the American dream is not for everyone regardless of one’s hopes. Woody Guthrie…

I decided to choose a contemporary piece to write about. Shakey Graves is an Americana musician from Austin, Texas. Alejandro Rose-Garcia is his real name but after a night by the campfire with his friends; Shakey Graves was the Indian guide name given to him playfully by his friends. He has quite a unique sound and plays three instruments at once while singing. You’ll probably see him playing in his hat, wife-beater, skinny jeans, and proper boots. His music is a cross between folk, rock and…

Romantic Comedy Erotic Irony A jocular aspect makes them serious instead of funny. Yet, the drama in these films is drawn from an intense philosophical background. Woody Allen embarks on a journey to laugh at our most intrinsic irrationalities. Sometimes, the viewer can conclude is that Allen is telling the history of our stupidity. Thus, erotic irony is a fusion between desire and lust. The impulse to solve a problem, which disturbs…

A tsunami of emotions asphyxiates me in disorienting turbulence. I don’t want to leave my bed. My feet are cold, no, not in the literal sense, in the figurative sense. Something is amiss. Something is banging around somewhere where there shouldn’t be any banging, at least to my immediate recollection. What to do? Do I desert my bed to hunt down the bangs and their originator(s)? Do I pull the my eiderdown duvet over my head and shimmy from the headboard toward the foot of the bed to make myself…

This Land Is Your Land is a poem written by Woodrow Wilson “Woody” Guthrie in February of 1940; in April of 1944 it was eventually set to music and turned into a song. On the first reading of this poem, especially when one takes into account the song that was learned in childhood, it has a very patriotic feel to it, “This land is your land this land is my land / this land was made for you and me” (Guthrie 1:1, 1:4). Upon closer inspection, when the last three stanzas of the poem are taken into…

One of the main points in history that we have seen in this course, in my opinion, has…
