Elvis’s main crowd was the teenagers who loved his dancing as he shook his leg and fell to his knees on the stage. The teenagers fell in love with Elvis’s compassion for his music. He had so many different types of songs. He had breakup songs, country songs, gospel songs, suggestive songs, and just classic rock and roll songs. His wide range of talent reached out to all the teenagers of any kind.
I kind of heard a triangle being played, but sounds like a telephone ringing. I was sort of smiling while I was listening to it because the music piece has a silly and funny sound. The third piece I think it was “Dance of the Clowns” where it also has a funny sounds. The dancers were still dancing here and the music is fast. I can still hear the triangle being played here also it gave me an attention because it sounds like an ice cream bell and now I can also here something like a tambourine and drum more.
He sang and bounced while both hands were holding chips. Suzie says his mother likes to sing to him so he likes to sing when he is happy. ! ! 11:10- When Kaptain is all done and full, he smiles a lot more and wants to play more.
The use of similes also gives the reader a clearer image of what this may have looked like by giving them objects to compare each aspect of the birds to. For example Dillard compares the motion of the birds as a group to “whirling like smoke” and the sound of the birds flying by to the sound of “a million shook rugs.” Dillard also uses personification in the last paragraph to describe her reaction to the bird’s flight. The expression “my lungs roared,” uses personification to describe how she felt blown away and was left breathless by the unexpected beauty of the flock of starlings flying
The speaker begins to express his awe and amazement that occurs when he sees the flock of birds in lines 14-24. He describes this flock as “a cloud of dots like iron filings which a magnet underneath the paper undulates” (lines 16-18). This is a simile to death, something that is too strong for even the human spirit. This “cloud” is darkened in spots. This color imagery is another way to symbolize death in which the poet at this time fears.
Calling Blacks “Sambo” was a way of referring to their childlike, docile and content demeanor. They saw the Sambo as always dancing and having a good time. This is the same as with the Jim Crow caricature and the minstrels. These exaggerated caricatures of a black men being crippled dancing in tattered clothing is how the white men saw the slaves in these times. They turned these into minstrel shows to justify slavery by showing everyone as “happy Darkies” loving their life and always dancing and singing.
People in Maycomb know that killing a mockingbird is a sin, yet when they see a black man get executed, they see it as a normal, everyday occurrence. People recognize the bird as innocent and charming because it sits in front of their window and sing their hearts out. But if a black neighbor that has helped them numerous times is executed on their account, they don’t feel guilt, regret or any emotion. The long days of Maycomb return back to normal without any remorse. That is a very cruel thing.
When Whitman is still trying to accept the death of Lincoln, for example, “the shy and hidden bird” is singing its song from “secluded recesses” (Whitman 18-19). Later, the thrush sings his song “loud and strong” as it flies through the trees (164). This in turn symbolizes that Whitman’s initial weakness has faded, and he has come to accept Lincoln’s death. As the thrush completes his journey and comes full circle, so also does Whitman realize that “the wondrous chant” of the thrush can never be mimicked, and the best tribute he can pay is “the echo aroused in [his] soul:” this poem (199-200). His previous worries now quelled, Whitman pens this elegy in which he uses the thrush to symbolize the changing continuum of emotions he
The Innocence of the Mockingbird The symbolism of the mockingbird has a strong impact on Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. It is said throughout the novel that “it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird” (Lee,90). Mockingbird’s are some of the most gentle, and heartfelt birds, they do not “eat up people’s gardens, [and] don’t nest in corncribs” (Lee,90). Their innocence is proven by singing charming music for all of Maycomb, they are deeply adored and respected by Maycomb’s people. But they are not the only gentle and caring creatures in Maycomb, Atticus Finch, Boo Radley, and Tom Robinson are all agreeable representation of what is it to be a mockingbird.
Mockingbirds Some things in life are innocent and pure by nature. In the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Lee shows that mockingbirds are one of those things. In fact, one of the main characters, Atticus Finch, tells his son and daughter,” I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you’ll get after birds. Shoot all the blue jays you want, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”[90]. Confused, the children asked one of their neighbors, Miss Maudie, what Atticus meant.
