On The Sunny Side Of The Street Analysis

311 Words2 Pages

“On the Sunny Side of the Street” performed by Esperanza Spalding is a jazz and blues song about letting go of your worries by “walking on the sunny side of the street. The song is excellently performed and watching Esperanza Spalding perform was entrancing. The song was very cool and had a nice bass behind it. The light nature of the song was perfectly complimented by the low bass and free flowing piano notes. Many solos were performed and each one carried the liberating feel of the song forward. The light drumming in the background was a very nice touch that could be easily overlooked. The lyrics of the song are very appropriate given the context. Esperanza said that the song was from the great depression and more specifically when

    In addition to the lack of education, there is also a great deal of ignorance in our communities when recognizing those who may be forced into sexual exploitation. It is not their fault but in a sense it is ours for the lack of involvement. We must pay our communities more attention and speak out for the voiceless, it is our job to help prevent this horrific crime from happening to these innocent women and children. The lack of involvement is also one of the largest epidemics on the widespread of Human Trafficking. For example, Theresa Flores was a 15 year old teenager, just like any other teenager, loved track, enjoyed school, and was an exceptional student, so most would assume, but what you didn’t know about her is she had been forced into a lifestyle unimaginable.

    2) This extract is found in “The White Album” written by Joan Didion, who is the creator of many significant different literature pieces, both novels and essays. “The White Album” was published in 1979, and is the first and longest essay in the book. In this essay Joan Didion essentially uses a women as a connecting thread to describe what was happening in America at that time. I believe that the woman may even be herself to a certain extent, trying to externalize all her thoughts. What is perceived from the essay is that Didion was submerged into the focus of some big events that were happening in that year, not only as a journalist but also as a bystander and a normal Californian.

One is “black English”, which is comfortable to her while speaking with her family and community and the other is “standard English”, generally used while talking in public with strangers and work. Since childhood Mellix was taught when and where to use either black English or standard English.

    My feelings on reading the story I can only feel strong emotions and sympathize with the parent when reading “Welcome to Holland” by Emily Perl Kingsley because parents go through a series of emotions from shock to acceptance in raising a child with a disability. First a parent’s plan for their child’s future is changed because of learning their child has a disability. Next, they have to learn strategies to help their child. This story reminded me of my two years old student struggled in class immensely. When I spoke to his father, who sadly agreed his child needed help.

I know I have a friend specifically that struggled getting a lead role simply because she was short and not as slender as the rest she was up against and it really upset her. This song overall gives an insight into how Val thinks and who her character is and while most might argue that it is disgusting or appalling to get work done in order to succeed, if it makes her happy I see nothing wrong with it. This song furthered along her story that she provided to the director and she approached it with such confidence that is needed in order to stand out. This song served to set Val apart from the rest in whatever way it took to do

    As freedom is a life acceptance by everyone, including yourself, it makes life a lot easier. Is freedom really about being accepted? In his short story, “The Strangers That Came to Town” Ambrose Flack is revealing that true freedom is about being accepted. As in the story, Flack shows on how when the Duvitches had moved to town, they were limited in freedom around the community. I believe that true freedom is about being accepted because as the town did not accept the Duvitches at first, it became hard for the family to live and the town thought that they did not have the same value as them.
