My Country

MY COUNTRY: ANALYSIS Dorothea Mackellar’s ‘My Country’ is a poem expressing Mackellar’s deep passion and love for her country, Australia.

scholarship, and of course the support from my parents was one of the most important thing to get it done. To get to study in the US for me it was a great achievement, because since childhood I wanted to do, always kept my goal in my mind and insisted to get it, until one day I got it and did not hesitate to accept and challenge to myself. Obviously, I had to go through a very difficult and bumpy process to achieve my goal, such as travel to another country to get a scholarship which can help me in

Stanza One: Starts with 'I love a sunburnt country ', which is the exact wording of the second stanza in the original poem by Dorothea Mackellar.

In this stanza

The first aspect I think about when I listen to country music is my home and my family. Honestly, I think that is why most people love it so much, especially in the Southeastern United States (U.S.). It also seems to me that it is so dear to the people of the South is because country music started here. I read up on the history of country music, and what basically happened is that a bunch of Europeans immigrated to the United States and brought their own styles and sounds with them. All of this

times I wonder what my thoughts look like scattered out on a sheet of paper. Do I ramble on? Am I in control? Does it depend on the topic? Personally I think it mostly depends on the topic, because I honestly do not care about some of the topics that are driven into my head by family, friends, or school.

I almost always listen to country music. My favorite artists/bands are Brad Paisley and Dan and Shay. I enjoy listening to their music because I can relate to their songs. Two of my favorite Brad Paisley songs would be “Perfect Storm”, or “She’s Everything”. Dan and Shay sing two songs that I really enjoy listening to “Stop, Drop, and Roll” and “What You Do to Me”. Brad Paisley’s “Perfect Storm” talks about finding that perfect girl, and his song “She’s Everything” is about that girl that means everything

My musical tastes is always constantly changing. When I was about twelve, my favorite genre was country. I would only listen to it unless I was with somebody else who controlled the radio. I knew the songs and the artist in the back of my hand at the time. When I entered in high school, my musical taste change, and I started to listen to pop music.

Houser’s song “My Kinda Country” he talks about why he loves country and tells about his experiences and what he does to the area. The theme of the story is his perception on the country life and what he does at nights or days in the country area. He is a country artist that makes good, catchy and with a hyped up tone to it. His theme is sang throughout the song with rhyming similes and metaphors. His theme is described in a couple of literary terms. Randy sings “Let him roll right off my back/I fly

difference in language, culture, life style and many more. In my case I moved thousand of miles from my country, Pakistan. The differences are unimaginable. I was born in a very big house with 5 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 2 kitchens, big lawns in front and back, servant quarters and couple of servants serving my family. This wasn’t like this because we were filthy rich or millionaires. It simply portrays a middle class home in my country. My grandmother was used to wake up before sunrise and opened all
