The key aspects to Mary Oliver’s poem “Singapore” have to do with the person getting off the plane, the woman cleaning the toilet, and the airport itself. Without the background information of the Singapore airport we would not be able to add in much about what we think Mary is saying. Chamillionaire’s “Hip Hop Police” has to do with judgment from the masses compared to “Singapore” which is judgment from just one. The key context in this rap song are the fact that he portrays himself in the song from a first person view, the media that is supposedly judging him and the police that is a metaphor for so much more. Judgment is shown in many ways in this song and it is Chamillionaire’s goal to show us that it is out there and it sort of has the same foothold as repression and oppression did back in the day in music.
Representations of the city are shaped by composers’ personal, social, and historical contexts. This is demonstrated through an investigation of Ray Bradbury’s speculative short story, “The Pedestrian’ (1951), which presents a dystopic perspective of the future of the city, reflecting the composer’s concerns about technology and individual freedom. An alternate perspective of the city is shown through Jennifer Senior’s feature article ‘Alone Together: Is Urban Loneliness a Myth?’ (New Yorker, 2008) which similarly reflects the concerns of its context. Thus the concept of ‘the city’ can be seen as a subjective construct, shaped through composer’s unique and contextual concerns. Bradbury’s dystopic representation of the urban environment can be seen as a result of his mid twentieth century American context.
When the johnstones move to the countryside, onto a new council estate. The graffiti is no longer there and the colour of the bricks has changed from a dark red to a brighter orange. This is an effective way of showing that the set is getting brighter, it symbolises the brighter future that the characters will encounter throughout the play.

The author does this by saying things such as “In rainy weather the streets turn to red slop” which implies that the streets are old fashion made and aren’t made of concrete like modern streets. Harper Lee also paints the picture of Maycomb as a hot place.
The Hardships of the 1980’s “It doesn’t just mean they are running across the freeway, it means they are running from something else as well. I think it’s a struggle for a lot of things, for opportunities, for freedom.” The novel The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver and the novel The Color Purple by Alice Walker both utilize symbolism, setting, as well as conflict to portray the thought that illegal immigrants and racism is cause for a lot of distress and insecurity within the nation. Symbolism is used in both pieces of literature to convey an underlying meaning. Symbolism is used in The Bean Trees to show the distress illegal immigration caused people.

Jacob Rosenbaum Mr. Dundon IB HL English 1 20/4/12 Word Count: 1300 The Form of The Sword: Humanity and Bad Apples There is a saying that one bad apple spoils the whole bunch. In the mind of Jorge Luis Borges, humanity is a bunch of apples, and any one person has potential to be that bad apple.

He uses this distinct literary tactic to evoke profound thought about the world around him. A good example of using disorientation to express his ideology is the short story The Form of The Sword.
