As an ardent fan of R’nB sounds and constantly playing the works of R’nB greats such
as Trey Songz, Ne-Yo and R-Kelly, allowing myself to give attention to the girly
heartbroken soul of Taylor Swift was rather a mortifying yet satisfactory commitment.
When Taylor Swift is determined to do something, the girl really does know how to
create an over-the-top scene. So with her fifth album, she almost forcefully attempts
to indulge on the Eighties pop, skillfully enabling full appreciation of the apparent
extravagance. 1989 is a substantial deviation from her orthodox scene - only a couple
of the numbers feature the mournful tunes of her ‘tear-stained’ guitar. Nevertheless,
she is still Taylor Swift; and has the ability to repeatedly produce insanely and

Majority of
the tracks linger around the three-minute mark, essentially the hardest part for a
writer such as Taylor Swift who previously didn’t shy away from tracks which reached
nearly five minutes. Apart from the excellent timings, something I thoroughly relished
was viewing Swift’s dynamic slant. Although the all-embracing themes were unveiled
through unique processes, I felt as if the profligacy they strived to achieve was left
wandering midway and the spectacle which was intended to parade the 80’s glamour
was almost bullish. The album comprehensively may not be highly regarded as a
classic for it’s period but what it profoundly did deliver was an element of change on
behalf of the singer, a method to exhibit Swift’s stature and calibre; by trialling vast
ideas within the same genre.
Deeply uncanny, marginally emotional and frantically enthusiastic, 1989 defines Taylor
Swift on a whole new level although it’s something she had never tried before. An
artistic product as a result of testing the waters, new extremes were emplaced on
behalf of the Nashville star. But was it enough to drive a staunch R’nB aficionado
As the protagonist, Taylor leads a life far from the ordinary, and gains matures and gains worldly knowledge through a journey most couldn't dream of. Deciding to leave her home in Pittman County, Kentucky she was the one to get away, both in mind and body. The culture of where she grew up didn't fit her personality, and she decided she wouldn't let herself fall into the life of the other people in her town. She bought a car and hit the road, with no plan or destination to adhere to. This journey shows the type of personality she possesses, and throughout the journey how it advances. Taylor was already quite an admirable person, and she already possessed many good traits. She was already independent and knew there was more to see in the world than what there was in Pittman County. She knew that there was room for improvement and infinite things to learn in the world, she just didn't know what they were. Sadly, most of what she lea...
The issue that Swift is addressing is the fact that there are too many poor children in Dublin and that they are becoming such a huge burden for all the poor mothers or parents of the country. Swift then creates his own solution to the problem. He proposes that all poor children who are around one year of age, be cooked and eaten by the people of Dublin, preferably the poor. With this solution, he argues that it will eventually put an end to the overpopulation of the poor young children and it will satisfy the hunger for all the other people. Crazy right?
Swift’s use of these three devices created a captivating and somewhat humorous satire. He used irony and ethos to emphasize the ridiculous nature of the essay, and to show how the practice of eating children would be unethical. He used ambiguity to make the essay a more comedic work rather than a horror about the gruesome practice of child cannibalism. Overall, the satirical essay was
Showing her how to shoot a combo”. I can actually see this in my head. I also get out of this what actually happened and why Carrie Underwood would be mad.
I believe the Willie Nelson Experience did more than just open up the eyes of music for my fellow band members and me. I believe it entertained Arlington with quality music and laughter. The WNE will continue singing country classics. On behalf of the band, we liked to see the happy looks on peoples faces. Maybe that why Willie Nelson sings.

...ing some actual proposals that would work to ease the pain for the poor. Swift writes that the rich could quit being so proud and selfish and have “at least one degree of mercy towards their tenants” (Swift). Swift feels despair and rejection from every caregiver or leader in his own life, just as the poor are rejected by society so they resort to begging. He feels that something drastic will have to happen in order for things to change, otherwise the misery of being devoured by society will be upon the poor “breed for ever,” as well as himself (Swift). Perhaps it was too late for this drastic change in Swift’s life. Perhaps his unresolved childhood complexes are too distant that they would have never been resolved.
Swift wants his readers to interpret his speaker as a kindhearted, sensible gentleman with a sincere concern for resolving problems for the Irish people. In the first eight paragraphs, the reader meets an affectionate man with precise insight into the predicament he will shortly address. By doing this, the speaker establishes himself up as someone who would not make an outrageous proposition. This makes his words even more effective.

Whether the views about Taylor Swift are positive or negative, she still has been extremely successful. Not only has she made lots of money because of her hit singles, platinum records and sold out concert tours, but she has also found a unique way to connect with her fans. Taylor Swift is both praised and ridiculed because of her music and the way she perceives certain situations, but the way I see it, there are going to be positive and negative aspects of every form of media. What sets Taylor Swift apart from the rest though, it how handles herself with grace, hard work and determination and I think that is something that everyone should respect and admire.
Ever since I was in eighth grade, I have been obsessed with Taylor Swift. She has been my role model since I was thirteen. When you look at most singers today, they have to be singing about drugs or alcohol, using vulgar language, or performing half-dressed. You never see Taylor Swift doing anything that she would be ashamed of later in life. On the other hand, she has had many relationships that have lasted short time periods. At least, she is not getting married for 72 days or even 24 hours such Kim Kardashian or Britney Spears. This is why I chose to write a research paper on her.
I personally have always enjoyed the different and unique sounds of the instruments that the musicians in rock & roll bands could make using the synthesizer, their electric guitars, th...
