    The song “Don’t Drink the Water”, by Dave Matthews can be viewed as reflecting a common theme during the late 1800s and early 1900s; Native Americans being forced to give up and move off of their land. Although this idea reflects the reality of what happened during this time period, it does not accurately reflect the two land policies that the US government passed regarding settlers in the West. The first of these two acts, the Homestead Act, gave settlers 160 acres of public land in exchange for a small filing fee and the promise to live on the land for at least five years. Or, the settlers could buy the land from the government for $1.25 an acre after living on it for six months. Thousands of people took advantage of this act, including many exodusters, or

    Through a binary of optimism to disposition, for example, “glory from above,” found in line nineteen, and “it’s all downhill from here,” communicates that through the good, there could be bad. Within the song, Ocean speaks about a possible intimate feeling or relationship with someone he was involved with that explains the happenings and effort given yet the repetitive downfall that seems to follow along with it in the end. One strong example of Ocean’s view of love is a repetition of “you showed me love,” being one line that is repeated twice in the song. This showing of compassion to one person demonstrates his compatible comprehension and how he might possibly be involved with someone that he sees so highly.

  • Zadie Smith's Find Your Beach

    In “Find Your Beach”, a narrative essay written by Zadie Smith, the writer expresses her belief that is one is adamant enough, one can arrive at their beach - a paradise-like environment that people dream of, but is believed to be very hard to obtain. The idea of a person’s “beach” being hard to discover can be observed through Smith’s personal background, as it is almost mythical for this English writer living in Soho, Manhattan to come by a beach. What I took away from Smith’s text is the idea that when you finally arrive at your beach, “sooner or later you will be sitting on that beach wondering what comes next”. Overall, I interpreted one’s beach being defined as a person’s happiness. It is something we all have the potential to posses
