The poem celebrates childhood and a wonderful, imaginative, loving teacher. Everything in the first two stanzas is magical, warm, colourful and exciting. The first line gives the impression that they felt like they really were travelling up the Blue Nile. Even the books are 'Enthralling'! The second half of the poem introduces more complex feelings, although mixed still with comedy and Mrs Tilscher's warmth.
I will never forget that night whenever I hear or listened to “Take my breath away” for I would always imagine myself in that dress and rocking that stage again. I remember falling in love for the first time in my life with this one significant other when I was in high school. I did not know how to express my feelings to him, so instead of writing him a letter, a poem, a simple phone call, or even have the courage to just talk to him straight face to face, I called the radio station and dedicated a samoan love song to him. I told one of my friends to tell him to listen to dedications that day and to my surprise, he dedicated a song to me the next day and the third day he asked me out. Growing up from a religious family, I was so devoted to church and religious music affected my life for it made me understand God, got closer to him and even build a strong relationship with him.
(Wallace 2011) The marketing strategy is genius when you think about who they are marketing to; little kids. They have Kardashian Glam Silly Bandz, Justin Bieber Silly Bandz and among others I think the most famous is Sponge Bob Square Pants Silly Bandz. (Wallace 2011) They are also affordable; one bag of 24 cost about $5.00 and a bag of 12 could cost around $2.50; depending if you’re in a tourist spot or not. (Wallace 2011) My son wants a bag every time we walk into a store. These rubber bands are very unique in the social networking arena because kids identify
Gabler on the other hand, explores the personality and accomplishments of Walt Disney (creator and imaginer of Disney world) and claims that we can understand America and its culture by understanding Disney. Hence, all the authors try to present a detailed discussion and arguments about the world of images and the creators of it. In his article “Children’s culture and Disney’s animated films”, Giroux seems to be fair and very knowledgeable in his argument against Disney; he goes into detail of each movie showing where the racism hides in these “huggable” fairytales and how it will affect the views of a child growing up watching these movies. Disney creates Disneyland “the happiest place on earth” and Giroux believes “it is imperative to analyze how Disney’s animated films influence the way America’s cultural landscape is imagined”. Giroux uses his great talent of persuasion to make the classic, innocent, loveable Walt Disney movies to be the great “new teaching machines” of racism, sexism and gender role ideas to raise kids to be racists and sexists beings (569).
Choppy execution and obvious breathing into the microphone give authenticity to the underground, homebrew style that Lil B has become famous (or infamous) for. Rhyming in every bar is not the standard for Lil B, which could be off putting for traditionalist Hip Hop fans. Complex themes being expressed with an arguably simple style create a cohesiveness that can be easily appreciated by a thorough listener. Freedom from forms of mental slavery like racism, stereotypes, and homophobia is the only recognizable theme occurring in all tracks excluding the overall positive message the album tries convey. To be "Based" according to Lil B himself is to be "Positive and Free" and his musical works have these themes dispersed throughout them.
The six year old seemed to be playing a walking game all on his own whilst singing and humming a song. Holden hears it and concludes the song is “If a body catch a body coming through the rye.”This happy and innocent scene lifts Holden’s spirit: “It made me not feel so depressed anymore.” Why? Probably because he likes children and views the child as innocent and unspoilt. Ironically if he had understood that the song is really about whether casual sex is all right, he would have been extremely upset! Holden refers to it again, when his younger sister, Phoebe, insists that he tells her what he wants to become: “.
I had a hard time deciding on a song to pick for this assignment. When I picked Bill Frisell I started to listen to several of his pieces that e has worked on and that made my choice even harder. All of his music is great. I have truly enjoyed listening to him and have even downloaded a few songs to my ipod so I can listen again later. I did finally narrow the search down to two songs; both are cover songs, “Have a Little Faith”, and “Hallelujah”.
Then, at age 16, he met Jeff Townes (DJ Jazzy Jeff). The pair became friends and began to collaborate, Jeff as DJ, Will as rapper (having expanded his nickname to Fresh Prince).

It was hard at first to see the rationale in the points of others until I had that “a-ha!” moment and learned that I am learning from different points of view. As a young girl growing up in New York, I was always fascinated with music. The way it makes you move, the way it makes you feel, the way it makes you sing even if your sing horribly. Though rap may be a far cry from the prayer that we learned as a child, “1Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. 2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing[1]” it does bring questions about its place in our society.
