Alone with Nature I’ve always been a bit of unique and quirky kid. Building relationships with others is something that I have struggled with throughout my life and is an obstacle that I continue to face. That´s why I run. I run to escape the daily stress of everyday life. I run to learn more about myself and the world around me. Running has always been an outlet for me when I’m feeling down or am going through something hard. It was the middle of June in 2014 and I was ready to begin my first…

In the song “Born To Run”, it argues that people are born to run. Christopher Mcdougall argues the same point in his book. The song refers to humans as tramps, meaning humans are meant to travel by foot, and the author mentions stories of barefoot runners, ultramarathon success, and human endurance. The second quote from the song relates to Billy and Jenn. Jenn decides to start running, and Billy joins her. They both know that taking this trip to El Paso is risky, but she makes the choice to do…

In this example, Louis Jordan eloquently showcased his ability to switch in and out of songful tones by utilizing his band members. The song initiated with Jordan telling a piece of a narrative, until he was interrupted by the line “Run Joe!” The line was frequently used throughout his narrative. Around the end of the verse, the whole band—including Jordan himself—repeated lines of the word “Loey.” The song’s layout evidently depicts the strategy of switching in and out of recitations; in this…
