Tove Lo's music video for the song, "Talking Body" is a seethingly sexy showcase of the young Swedish pop vixen's many talents, not least of which are those legs, which seem go for miles! Like many of her peers in Icona Pop genre, including Lykke Li and First Aid Kit, 26 year-old Tove Nilsson has a fondness for sucker punches and a habit of expressing her more feminine emotions. "Talking Body", which appears on the album Queen of the Clouds, is a smart dialogue about an exiting relationship, heartbreak and bad behavior. The album as a whole chronicles the arc of the relationship in its entirety, but "Talking Body" plunges right into the meat of it. Tove sings, "If you love me ri-i-ight / We fuck for li-i-ife" as she stomps around in those killer

In the novel, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Sedaris has used various literary terms which followed the use of a clear tone. This is clearly depicted with the author’s choice of words, as well as, figurative language. This demonstrates the author’s talent for casually laying out the absurdities of his daily experiences. In the novel, Sedaris has used a depressed tone. He explains how he is depressed by the French instructor. He explains that he is not alone to be belittled, but others also experience a similar attitude from the teacher, during the time they spent in class (Sedaris 13). He explains that the instructor wanted to put everyone down. For instance, he understood only half of what the teacher said, and that the first day that she was in class was very depressing (11). Sedaris also narrates that when the teacher asked that ‘has every one apzkiubjxow, it was very startling because he had not been asked the question for a while and realized that she did not understand the alphabet (11). The author states that the teacher always asked that ‘were you always this palicmkresis (15). It is clear that Sedaris employs nonsense letter arrangements, in order to replace the words that he could not understand (Sedaris 15). Through this, he relates his feelings with what the teacher said and this created pity for him and a mutual understanding (Sedaris 15). This demonstrates a depressed tone.
The graphic novel “This One Summer” by Mariko Tamaki displays a relevant modern-day manner of teenage conversations, dilemma, and emotions in the 21st century. The novel did an accurate illustration in presenting the modern-day concern, curiosity and interest of children and teenagers as one example on page 22, when Windy asked Rose “do you have a boyfriend?” it displays the curiosity of a child in their relative/friends love affair, which most teenagers are mainly concern of nowadays. Body image also takes part on the graphic novel as Windy and Rose talks about the size of their breast on page 35, and comparing it to other people as Windy shares the story “this girl in my dance class is ten and she’s like a D cup. Maybe a G.” The novel illustrates some of the concerns a modern teenager might have, which can be relatable to most young teenage readers as they share the same concern or discussions they have with their friends. The dialogues and conversations that is shown in the book are very vulgar as one example on page 39-40 when the Dud’s friend and the adolescent girls exchanges the words “sluts and assholes”. Which later was adapted by the young teenagers in their vocabulary as
King Solomon wrote wisely, and later was wisely paraphrased by the folk band “The Byrds”, “To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven...” (Ecclesiastes 3:1,8). Seasons often represent the periods of a person’s life; birth, youth, age and death. In the short story “Summer” by David Updike, the lake provides an eternal and unchanging witness to Homer’s transition from season to season and from boy to man.
In Josefina Lopez’s play Real Women Have Curves, a group of Hispanic women discuss their sex appeal in terms of their body image. They judge their psychological aspect of sex appeal based on how well their physiological aspect of body image agrees with society’s ideals. In Michel Foucault’s Discipline and Punish, he explains that society is an amplified Panopticon that causes its members to observe one another and themselves. This theory explains these women’s compulsion to peruse their bodies to make sure that they fit within society’s standards of sexiness. Although these women are described in a collective manner, Lopez delineates each woman’s character distinctively. Their differing characters are greatly influenced by the opposing cultural values of Latinas working in sweatshops and that of White-American feminists. According to Patricia Hill Collins’ Black Feminist Thought, these conflicting cultural values develop oppositional knowledge in these women, which alters their perception of the female sex appeal. Hill Collins also explains that when individuals communicate their diverse ideas in a unified manner, it precipitates a unanimous definition to a society. This theory supports why the Latinas in Lopez’s play demonstrate a progression towards similar ideologies. In summary, using Foucault to explain the idea of self-surveillance, and Hill Collins to explain oppositional knowledge developed by contrasting the cultural values of White-American feminists and Latinas working in sweatshops, it is possible to describe the social phenomena of defining female sex appeal in terms of body image in Lopez’s play.
My Forbidden Face by Latifa relates to this course in a number of ways. First, the fact that the author cannot divulge her real name for fear of being beaten, raped, and/or killed is one way that the book correlates with the class. Other examples are subordination of women, veiling, and keeping women out of the public eye. The Taliban are very extreme in their treatment of women; in fact, it is almost as if they are living in the very distant past.

What is Halsey talking about here? Has she seen a ghost? Is she haunted by a mythical and soulless wisp of air? It's possible, of course. However, it's not the case here. Halsey is not presenting horror fables in her music, she is telling a story. Music is not only a remarkable story-telling method, but it is also a poetic way to do it.
