150 Words1 Page

“A Perverse Hue” When going into the world we are given this seemingly perfect path that is supposed to take us into our later lives and be successful. This is supposed to lead us into pristine colleges and from there it leads us into an actual career and then that is supposed to equal a good life. While making a career and having a successful life sounds nice. Sometimes I think do I want this life or to go on this path. In the song ARTPOP by Lady Gaga it portrays the message of not only being satisfied in life, but being content and stepping off the seemingly perfect path to find it. Lady Gaga uses symbolism and diction to portray the message of stepping off society’s path

    In the above poem Ayim tries to fit in her hyphenated/two part identity into one inseparable whole. Although she states that: “[her] fatherland is Ghana, [her] mother tongue is German” (Ayim, Blues in Black and White 46), her Afro-German identity is adaptive to and inclusive in her surroundings: “I have been living and working in West Berlin and feel more at home in this city than anywhere else” (Blues in Black and White 47). However, racism causes her to feel estranged even after the unity of the two Germanys: “The new “We” in “this our country”—Chancellor Kohl’s favorite expression—did not and does not have a place for everyone” (Blues in Black and White 48).

When these illusions turn out to be false, we often attack those who revealed the illusion to us. This is perhaps to hide our anguish, and feelings of inadequacy.
