“They say God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.” This, lyrics from the Intro of her album, justifies how Kehlani, an artist from Oakland, the third largest city in the Bay Area, have put in so much effort and hard work to be able to set herself apart and stand out from all the other aspiring singers. In this album, entitled You Should Be Here, is not just any typical album that talks about drugs, having a sexual intercourse, or making money. Rather, this album features the idea of self- love. She is not just some random pretty face but also embodies someone who is a great story teller and a great singer with a great soothing voice, which makes her such an exemplary …show more content…
For example, in "The Letter," Kehlani refuses to name the subject until the very last possible moment in the song. "Your words were supposed to get me through my heart ache," Kehlani sings. "Maybe I didn't deserve you. Maybe I just couldn't cure you." It’s a cutting and very heartbreaking turn of phrase that readers can feel while listening to her music even just through the lyrics. This could definitely describe betrayal or disappointment that she had gone through. Until she suddenly narrows it down into a more details, halfway through the song as she revealed who it was for: "every girl needs a mother." “Bright,” the next track after, is quite different as it encourages motivation to listeners and to show that each and every individual is unique and has their own beauty that no one can take. Furthermore, "Wanted" describes a newly-found connection and shows inspiration and determination, which possibly talks about fresh love. The words and tunes used sets a slights uplift atmosphere which definitely fits the message of the lyrics, “I was chosen… found my lows and made them high, so much storm to clear my skies I don't think I can deny.” As a result, Kehlani shows that there's still courage in holding back, as she made the choice of keeping things

In today’s world, with the media exploiting every single thing about a celebrity, it easy to know their accomplishments or the scandals in their life. The actions that one demonstrates especially when being a celebrity, influences the public and determines whether they are someone to look up to or not. One of the star that are in the public eye is Jennifer Lopez but she is mostly known as JLo. Many people know her as an American singer, actress, dancer, fashion designer and businesswoman (Jennifer Lopez). Everybody out there has their own opinion about her, those who look up to her describe her as a strong, independent and hardworking women who fought to be in the position that she’s in. On the other hand, the haters out there look at her as someone who exposes her physical appearance, isn’t latina enough and is talentless. However Jennifer Lopez is worth knowing about because of her influence in the hispanic community, her support for feminism and her ability to adapt to a variety of roles as a celebrity.
This darkly satiric poem is about cultural imperialism. Dawe uses an extended metaphor: the mother is America and the child represents a younger, developing nation, which is slowly being imbued with American value systems. The figure of a mother becomes synonymous with the United States. Even this most basic of human relationships has been perverted by the consumer culture. The poem begins with the seemingly positive statement of fact 'She loves him ...’. The punctuation however creates a feeling of unease, that all is not as it seems, that there is a subtext that qualifies this apparently natural emotional attachment. From the outset it is established that the child has no real choice, that he must accept the 'beneficence of that motherhood', that the nature of relationships will always be one where the more powerful figure exerts control over the less developed, weaker being. The verb 'beamed' suggests powerful sunlight, the emotional power of the dominant person: the mother. The stanza concludes with a rhetorical question, as if undeniably the child must accept the mother's gift of love. Dawe then moves on to examine the nature of that form of maternal love. The second stanza deals with the way that the mother comforts the child, 'Shoosh ... shoosh ... whenever a vague passing spasm of loss troubles him'. The alliterative description of her 'fat friendly features' suggests comfort and warmth. In this world pain is repressed, real emotion pacified, in order to maintain the illusion that the world is perfect. One must not question the wisdom of the omnipotent mother figure. The phrase 'She loves him...' is repeated. This action of loving is seen as protecting, insulating the child. In much the same way our consumer cultur...

Everyone grows old, right? The poems To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time by Robert Herrick and To His Coy Mistress by Andrew Marvell both have messages about life, time, and how they interact. Through their differences in tone, imagery and exquisite word choice, the two authors achieve virtually the same idea two different ways.
...e overcame that. As expressed in the journal, Rihanna had many thoughts on her mind and was going through so much stress but she still had the power to gain her strength and confidence to overcome her obstacles. Critics believe that Rihanna is trying to discover herself and figure out who she really is as a person. I believe Rihanna is just putting on a act and is fooling everybody so she can make that money.

After I read and re-read and re-read the article “I Stand Here Writing”, it is clearly to see the opinion that the author wants to show us, as a writer, it’s important and necessary to use a different way to think, it will help you to find new characteristics and traits so that we could obtain inspiration to write, and sometimes when we need to compare two things, it help to find new traits and discover the relationship between different experience, ideas that seems unrelated.
Artists around the world are making their mark in the pop culture world. There are many artists that deserve recognition and fame in their life. However, there are some artists in particular that deserve it much more than others. For example, Taylor Swift. Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter who is one of the leading contemporary recording artists. She is known for narrative songs about her personal life, which have led to a lot of media coverage around the world. A few of her most popular songs include "Look What You Made Me Do" or "...Ready for It?". So, classmates, wouldn't you want to listen to upbeat music when you're feeling down or out of it? I know I would. Taylor Swift is not only great at her music, but she's also great at her skill. She's definitely
There was another thing that she had stated which was ,”In these tough life moments, music can be a constructive way to express who you are and what you are feeling. If you are feeling particularly sad about a reality in your life, listen to a song that connects you to that emotion. If you are anxious, turn up the volume in your living room and dance around. If you are angry, grab a pillow and hit is as hard as you can while listening to your favorite lyrics.” This is indeed a fact that most of us would agree because either the tone or even the lyrics can make up who and how the person is like. For example like if a person song had kinda a sad tone to it , it would definitely have sad lyrics in the song that the singer is singing. If the tone is more of a happy tone then it would probably have happy lyrics on how the person feels on this event that have happened in their life. But most people are thought of mostly on how their songs are like even how their lyrics in the songs they sing makes what they
Towards the beginning of the production, there is a scene when the teenage girl is speaking to her mother and tells her that she thinks about death sometimes. After she asks this question, her mother ignores her, but then the teenage girls begins to talk about how she is getting older and that she will fall in love adventually. Then, after she talked about these ideas to her mother a song begins which to me has a lot of emotion. The song talk about how her mother was the one that raised her and that she wants to know more about life and to not feel sheltered from the idea of reality. This stood out to me the most because I am a teenager and I am still learning everything about life and the way that reality
The poem “Warned’ by Sylvia Stults, first seems to be about the ways human are hurting nature. However, when we look at the poem through the lens of John Shoptaw’s essay “Why Ecopoetry,” we see the evidence that this is an ecopoem and is asking people to take action to protect the environment. The poem is about the destruction of earth. The poet also tries to raises some awareness about the environment. Additionally, the internal meaning of the poem is that we, humans depend on the world’s resources, therefore we should take care of the natural world.
