Busboy And Poet Event Analysis

At the beginning the singers are in white dresses and they have black paint being splattered on them. The white dress is supposed to be a significance of their pureness and how they were just “a little country girl band before”, then the black paint is supposed to be a reference to the hate and how they are “not so perfect” anymore. In the mid video, the lead singer (the one who had made the statement) stands up because she is tired of it. As the other sisters try pulling her down meaning “don’t say anything”. They are being put through hell by people and having their reputation completely ruined.

When I went inside there was all old people, everywhere. I was surprised. I never saw concert like this where only old people are present. They all were in casual dresses. They have wines in their hands and hearing the music in the peaceful manner. I was the only one who had Gatorade to drink. There was applause after every instrument played, and after the voice. Old couples were dancing on the side, I was happy and thinking this is how old people enjoy. There was no loud noises and screaming during the concert. Old man, who was hosting the stage welcomed everyone, and announced the names of donors who helped the society to organized that concert. He announced recording of songs is prohibited and requested everyone to switch off their

Countee Cullen was a famous African American poet during the Harlem Renaissance in during the early 1900´s. She wrote two famous poems called “Tableau” and “Incident.” These pieces of American literature, both depict the racial interaction between the blacks and the whites at this point in history. The interaction with the two is shown by the way they describe each other and the way that they interact. These poems both use many instances of figurative languages such as imagery, metaphors, and similes to develop the tone and theme of each poem.

On June 27, 1872 in Dayton, Ohio a legend, a dream, a prodigy was born. Paul Laurence Dunbar was one of the first African American poets to gain national recognition. (poets) Dunbar graduated high school around the time where racial discrimination was at it’s all time high, so they were not many jobs for the African American race. Due to the lack of occupation Dunbar was forced to be an elevator operator in a Dayton hotel. Although the circumstances were difficult it did not stop Dunbar from succeeding. While working as an elevator operator, Dunbar was able to continue his works during his off time. Working at the hotel didn’t only allow Dunbar to continue writing; he also earned a name for himself, “elevator boy poet.” His eagerness to succeed allowed him to adapt what is now known as a hustle. Dunbar sold poems in the elevator for one dollar, to help cover publishing fees. Soon after Dunbar moved to Chicago, where he befriended Fredrick Douglass. This is where his hard work begins to pay off.

Lorna Dee Cervantes' poem, “Poema para los Californios Muertos” (“Poem for the Dead Californios”), is a commentary on what happened to the original inhabitants of California when California was still Mexico, and an address to the speaker's dead ancestors. Utilizing a unique dynamic, consistently alternating between Spanish and English, Cervantes accurately represents the fear, hatred, and humility experienced by the “Californios” through rhythm, arrangement, tone, and most importantly, through use of language.

From the beginning of the movie it tells you its about Halloween with a wonderful song called “This is Halloween.” The story starts in Halloween town not in Christmas town and most of the movie is in Halloween town including the end of the movie. Near the end of the movie Jack goes to send presents over the world yet his sleigh is shot down and he lands in a cemetery where he sings a song about how he is meant for Halloween and not for Christmas or any other holiday.

The next song performed was Since You’re Not Here. The women in the choir sang this song, expressing the emotions anger, sadness, and fear. Half of the girl’s turned away at the beginning of the piece to show that they were upset, using hand motions to resemble crying. Ultimately, the result was another silly song that was very enjoyable due to the believable expressions of emotion.

In “On The Subway,” the narrator Sharon Olds are comparing her to some boy who is sitting on the opposite side of a car they are in. Since Sharon is well dressed compared to the boy in the car, it begins to make Sharon think of all the differences between the both of them; for example, Sharon has all of the pros, while the boy has all of the cons.

Once she did, we began our switch so that I would be on the podium one last time. All was going well when something special happened. About three quarters of the way through the piece, I locked eyes with Chris Donahoe, our lead snare player, to set the tempo change while going through the meter changes. This was routine for us, but unlike the other performances, Chris and I’s eyes stayed locked on each other through the finale. The final chord hit, and I gave the crescendo in my left hand while pulsing the hits and the beats in my right hand. I could not help but to smile like a small child. After I gave the cut off, I noticed that he was smiling too. That was hands down the best performance that the band had ever given. I delayed my salute to look around the band to see them all smiling as well. I turned around to the sound of screaming spectators, and I gave my salute. I signaled the band off of the field, when Mr. K. , an assistant director, came up to me, gave me a high five, and congratulated me on the performance. That day is a day that I will never

These songs are located on Youtube. I will give several links that provide songs with their lyrics at the end. As the lyrics are playing on the screen, the residents sing along. In addition, to avoid any buffering due to the poor connection, I prepare the videos beforehand, and, thus, they have loaded and run smoothly. Throughout the interludes, while I am about to play the next song, I give small thoughts regarding the song: it serves as an introduction, and, hence, avoids awkwardness and makes it all flow.

Poetry can follow your life all the way through, from the innocence of a child, to the end of your days. The comfort, seduction, education, occasion and hope found in poems are elaborated in Poetry Should Ride the Bus by Ruth Forman. As the poem reads on, you not only travel through the life of a person from adolescence to being elderly through vivid imagery, but also hit on specific genres of poems through the personification of poetry as the characters in the stages of life.

The main ideas that we have read in our readings covered what Women’s Studies is and Dominant Ideas About Women. Three passages that caught my attention out of the 32 passages were “A Work of Artifice” by Marge Piercy, “Gender Inequity in School: Not a Thing of the Past” by Karen Zittleman and David Sadker, and lastly, “Have you Ever Heard of Asian-American Feminists” by Stacey Yap. With these three passages, there was good information for me to interpret and to reflect upon in these readings.

Some of the poems and essays I have read during this class were relatable to me. Being away from college, I have struggled with not being at home. I have become a different person when I am at school, but when I am home, I feel like I am my normal self again. Some of these authors of the poems and essays that I have read throughout this class has struggled with being somewhere where they don’t belong and that they are someone else when they are not home. Unlike the other poems and essays we have read throughout the course. I enjoyed reading the ones about “home” because I actually understood what they are going through and that I can relate. Some of these poems and essays include “Going Home” by Maurice Kenny, Postcard from Kashmir”, by Agha Shahid Ali, “Returning” by Elias Miguel Munoz and “Hometown” by Luis Cabalquinto. All of these poems deal with duality.
