  • Dance Me Outside Film Analysis

    601 Words  | 3 Pages

    “Dance me Outside” by W. P. Kinsella tells the story of little Margaret Wolfchild, an eighteen year old Indigenous mother who is brutally murdered by Clarence Gaskell at the Blue Quills Dance Hall (21). The film by the same name attempts to convey a similar message, but there are key differences such as overlooking the Gaskell’s trial. The broader scope of film allows for the story to be told through multiple perspectives, aiding in rounding out the characters and providing them with a realistic dynamism. In her book “Iskwewak Kah Yaw Ni Wahkomakanak” Janice Acoose criticizes Kinsella’s portrayal of Indigenous women, particularly a character from a different story of Kinsella’s named Linda Starr (69). Acoose asserts that Kinsella “exhibits

  • Garth Brooks: Changing The Meaning Of Country Music

    Given the lyrics of this song it seems to be about love and the ending of a romantic relationship. The main chorus of this song is “Yes my life its better left to chance, I could have missed the pain, but I’d have had to miss the dance.” What I believe this to mean is that some things happen for a reason and if we knew how things would turn out the way they do we’d be missing out on some of the most beautiful moments in life. The music video of Garth Brooks that I analyzed is of him singing a live performance in 1990. You will notice that the song has a very slow beat with the drums and bass guitar and has numerous pauses to exaggerate the emotions of sadness and acceptance.

Contra dancing, a traditional New England folk dance related to square dance and descended from Jane Austen's English Country Dancing, has been an integral part of my entire life.
