I have had a very odd year, amazing, fun but nonetheless, it was a very memorable school year. It is rather surprising when I look back and think about how I was in August. I was very chubby, shy, i had low self esteem and i was not very open towards new experiences or people. Since then, i have been influenced by so many new people and experiences that it brought me out of my shell. Since August i lost 35 pounds, i became more confident and i no longer really care about what people think about me, all i do is just try to get through my day with the least amount of failures as possible. The new experiences took me by surprise though this year, countless stories to tell but i don’t know how to tell them or how i can say …show more content…
The emotions i sense in this song is a sense of youthful joy, feeling neither proud or ashamed. I never got caught up in silly school drama and neither was my year as bleak as i had thought it would have been. My year was fun, in fact it has been the best year of school i have ever had. Whenever i listen to this song i imagine someone gazing at the night sky, around mid- winter, a person who wants to live a simple life, no drama, no stress, no problems . The only task that person has each day is to find joy in their day, be surrounded by it, that person does not really stand out, this person is not the center of attention. They just feel reassurance when they see people being happy, it’s the little things that count to them, like memories and knick knacks. A person i would think would fit well with this song would be one of my closest friends, i don’t have permission to use his identity though. Although, he does remind me of this song, he’s not a materialistic person, he doesn’t ask for much and he’s quiet, but his ideals are very amazing. I’m very thankful to have him as my friend. Throughout my life I’ve experienced many moments that this song could express. For example, I’m not into the whole propaganda and social media, in the way that i would get into it very deeply. Also, i try to keep things simple, but i don't speak up often which makes it a …show more content…
I finally wanted to have control over how my year was going to be. First of all, I accomplished the main task which was to enjoy this year. Whenever i had an opportunity to have a great experience i took it, like prom, i was not sure about going, it was my first dance and i was very confused by the fact that this was my first dance. I over think which makes me very unsure about situations. Ultimately, i thought whether or not this would be an amazing night, sure wouldn't want to miss out. So i went and it was really
The events of the past few months were twisted around my ankles and dragged around their weight wherever I went. My friends were enjoying the beginning of the school year without me, and the discouraging weakness that comes with
Frank Ocean once said, “When you 're happy, you enjoy the music. But when you 're sad, you understand the lyrics.” Why does one have to be sad to “understand the lyrics”? Evaluating a song and being given the ability to relate enhances one’s respect for the composer. For example, when one first listens to “Danny’s Song” by Kenny Loggins, they probably believe the song is about love, however, once a person analyzes the lyrics the realize that the song is actually a story of a couple who are having a baby boy.
“I don’t feel like I’m/ Getting through to you/ Let me paint this clear…” both music and poetry are used to portray a mood or emotion and most of the time song lyrics qualify as poetry because of the various literary devices used throughout (9-11). The theme says that no matter how bad someone gets and no matter how alone they, there is always someone there who cares about them. The lyrics themselves are very poetic and use many literary devices in order to get the somber feeling across to the reader or listener. The song portrays a character with the self-destructive, tragic flaw of drug addiction.
The first view this song supports is that you are in charge of your own life and destiny; the lines "No one else, no one else can speak the words on your lips. Drench yourself in words unspoken live your life with arms wide open. Today is where your book begins, the rest is still unwritten," represent that perfectly. Another view this song embraces is one of non-comformity and being willing to do what others may not in the lines of "I break tradition, sometimes my tries are outside the lines. We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way".
There are many ways for individuals to interpret this song, but one way is that it expresses the
This lyric means that the narrator, or the person who cas gotten hurt maintains good cheer in the face of adversity. This lyric refers to Finny, and his faculty to perceive the positive in situations, where as others would regard what happened to Finny, as the worst possible thing
Usually in life, it is best for anyone to take a step back to the past and look at the big picture. No one could flatter himself that he is immune to the changes around him. Moreover, with all the demands that life can put on a person, sometimes it is easy to lose the essence of “me”. By losing this essence, the person could develop either a better version or a worse version of himself. Looking back at the beginning of this year (freshman year), I have been just that young soul eager to meet life’s challenges especially culture changing challenges.
This is where the purpose of the piece becomes blaringly apparent. Everyone lives a different life, whether it be fast like the hummingbird or slow like the tortoise. Despite living contrasting ways everyone suffers heartbreak, it's an inherent part of life. Loving will sometimes be painful, life is difficult, we weren't promised any
How does year-round of school, with a few breaks, help students with furthering their education ? A year-round of school with a few breaks will help the students brains regain more information about things they learn in school and makes sure that what they learn is helpful for them in the future. For example, school everyday will help keep the students knowledge they already have stay in there minds, help get them further ahead in their studies, and graduate and be done with school faster. It is most significant that year round of school will help keep the students knowledge they already have stay in their minds. It make them less likely for students to forget what they have learned .One
An important aspect of both music and communication is making your thoughts relatable. Making something relatable will allow your audience to connect and care about it more knowing that they have felt similar things. Everyone has regrets and think about the past, lost loves, and reminisce about the good ole days of our past. Nostalgia is a powerful tool utilized by artist typically to provide listeners with memories and allow them to empathize with the work. This song makes me reflect on a time where I once made a mistake with someone I was romantically interested.
My journey consisted of many good and bad times, and throughout the years I discovered my strengths and weaknesses. I made new friends, took on different tests, accomplished many things. My first year was my most difficult, being new to the school, but as the years went by, school became a more fun experience for me. Knowing that the 4 years of high school was a journey for me, I was able to brace myself for the difficult times to come and the rewards I was going to receive. At the end of the journey, I had gained a lot from these 4 years, but it also prepared me for my next journey, my journey through university.
The final stanza incorporates a lot of emotions from the speaker such as unconditional love, fear, regrets, compassion, and hatred. This then opens the reader to a type of coldness that appeals on a totally emotional level. For example in the first line of the last stanza “speaking indifferently to him” meaning that child is being cold towards the father very much like the weather outside. Then in the third line of the last stanza “polished my good shoes as well” is his father showing love once again. Although kisses and hugs are nice showing a sense of compassion his father shows his love is a different way he shows his love by doing his manly duties and making their home is warm before the rest of the family awakes and making sure they look good.
To begin, the lyrical tone is introspective. The lyrics in themselves motivate the listeners to reflect back on how they have been handling more major issues in their lives. “It 's time that I realize that there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan. Could it be really me, pretending that they 're not alone?” (stanza 5, lines 2-4); in these lines, Michael Jackson is advising others to review their past experiences, to see if they have been overlooking those in need.
For me, it is somehow the idealistic and romantic perception of deep love in the idea of which I believe. I would like to know that I will be with a person who would be all to me, on whom I will be able to count, and who would not break my heart. Even though the song depicts everything in the other light, I was impressed with the depth the love pictured in the song and the image of purity that somehow appears in my consciousness when I hear the
I realized I wasn’t a good student my behavior inside the classroom was horrible but I could recognize I had a really good connection with my teachers even though I was super noisy in class and always laughing basically I was like a clown, until today I still talk to them as my second parents. Memorable moments in my life that I consider the scariest days and at the same time moments to celebrate was my last year in High School. De La Salle Panama is known for a lot of people as a really hard school to graduate and the hardest year is grade 12 (2014: my last year in High School). Remember moments when I was studying and I took me the whole night to study for my several
