Out of many songs my favorite song is Yakety Yak by The Coasters I listen to this song all the time. I love it because it has lyrics that sound like something I would do. Although Byron makes fun of me for listening to the song so much. I also showed it to Rufus but he didn't like it but I hope you like it.

During the writing of the song, the band made 30 changes to it. He said that he saw the lyrics first time he sung it out loud and it sounded excellent so he came up with the rest. I have chosen this song because it brings back so so many significsant memories in my life, such as the first time my family went to America, this song was played almost 5 times every day on the radio. It is also a very lively, energetic song that can turn a frown upside-down in a second.

This song tells you that you must never give up without a fight and I believe that , that is a excellent morale to sing

    945 Words  | 2 Pages

    The novel Makes Me Wanna Holler discuss the problems of the black Americans from an insider prospective. When I say black Americans, I mean from the cultural issues, fatherhood, family, and how blacks working class families are anything, but lazy. Nathan recalls his troubled childhood, rehabilitation while in prison, and his success with the Washington Post. The novel helped me understand the mindset of black males and why some choose to be affiliated with gangs. Additionally, I learned that bouncing back from a hardship time help you regain strength because Nathan went threw a lot. However, I did not relate to the novel, but I understood the concept of it. The title of this book speaks out loud about the inner struggle that he dealt. I did relate to the racial incidents and wanting to work early to have the best appearance. I actually did enjoy the

  • Boyz N The Hood Analysis

    Upon reading your responses, I can see how individuals are labeled based on race and on stereotypes. In the film, “Boyz n the Hood”, I agree to what Sabrina said about the two scenes expressing discriminatory treatment by the criminal justice system. It was sad to see how when you are in need of help and the only source is turning their backs. It is not fair to be judged by your ethnicity, class, or where you live. This is related to labeling theorist, Howard Becker; whereas he states that certain individuals can even be labeled by being falsely accused. An individual can be labeled as a deviant, because of their race and yet never committed a crime (Adler, Mueller, & Laufer 2013, p. 189). We saw this in the one scene you pointed out, whereas Tre and his dad called the cops because of the break in at their home. Then

  • Sisters Of The Yam Analysis

    2054 Words  | 5 Pages

    By writing Sisters of the Yam: Black Women and Self-Recovery Bell Hooks gave black women a chance to relate to one another on issues that we are often afraid to express. In PSC 318 we often discussed the stigma of being a “strong black woman” and the negative aspects of that stigma. In my eyes thee is nothing negative about being strong and there is surely nothing negative about being a black woman. But, as a black woman we are looked at providers, caregivers, mentors, mother figures, a shoulder to lean on and much more. Bell Hooks touches on the touchy subject in the black community and that is mental health. Often times as black people we worry about physical health and spiritual health, in the black community our answer to everything and anything going wrong in our lives is to pray about it. Yes, God can heal and help us but Bell Hooks tells us in writing Sisters of the Yam: Black Women and Self-Recovery that we need to take care of our mental health as well as pray. Black women rarely go to therapist to talk about their problems because they are so worried about helping everyone else handle their problems.

  • Runaway Love Analysis

    504 Words  | 2 Pages

    The song I chose is Runaway Love by Ludacris featuring Mary J. Blige. The song was released in 2007 on Ludacris’s fifth album Release Therapy. The style or genre is rhythm and blues and rap. The song is very soulful and emotional. Ludacris is the main voice in the song and raps all of the verses telling a story, however Mary J. Blige is the emotion behind the lyrics and she sings the chorus. The mood of the song is sad and emotional. There is a rhythm though if beats that draws the listener in. The beat is made by a clapping noise and makes the listener want to clap along to the beat. The songs tempo is not too fast or too slow. It's slow enough to be soulful but it's still fast enough to rap to and has a beat. The instruments in this song are the guitar, base, and keyboard, along with background vocals.

  • Appy Thuy Analysis

    297 Words  | 1 Pages

    Oral history is history that comes from the people which have lived and experienced during that time. For example, Appy is interviewing a Vietnamese man named Thuy in the back of a Taxi. During this interview Thuy turns to him and said “do you realize we are the only nation in the world that has defeated 3 out of the 5 permanent members of the united nations security council?” (Appy XVIII). I think the decision Appy made to use oral history is wise because I feel like you get a more authentic view of what happened and how things happened when you interview a person instead of just researching what other people have come up with. People can twist things in a whatever way they want to to make you see things the way they want you to but with

    Despite the recognizable writing styles in Oscar’s story, there are insertions of other characters’ writings under Yunior’s authority. The significant subtitles, “La Inca Speaks” and “Ybon, As Recorded by Oscar” clearly state that one of the passages is from La Inca and the other is from Ybon, presenting two contradicting opinions. In comparison La Inca’s passage incorporated Spanish words, whereas Oscar described on’s thoughts all in English, resembling the clash of Dominican and American culture in the novel. La Inca claimed, “He didn’t meet her on the street like he told you. His cousins, los idiots, took him to a cabaret and that’s where he first saw her. And that’s where ella se metio por sus ojos” (Diaz 289). From La Inca’s point of
