Language has always been something in the back of my mind. You never think to in depth about language, but you do think about what to say and when all the time. Language is so important because you use it everyday. I always thought that my language was average, but if im around people who have a broader vocabulary, it makes me feel like my language is horrible. When i start thinking about a memorable time that involved language, right away I think about my eigth grade English class, it was by…

Journey It was May 15,1923 in Manhattan,New York, when I was walking home from school with my bestfriends. We all live on the same block, where everyone knows each other. “So,” Alexia said looking slyly at me, “are you going to sign up for the contest?” My friends looked at me impatiently waiting for an answer. “ Maybe.” I said walking slightly faster to avoid more questioning. “ What do you mean ‘maybe’, girl you have to best voice around. I don’t see why you so hesitant…

In “Song of Soloman”, Morrison tells a remarkable story reflecting the absence of a father figure in African American homes. Instead of looking at the absence of the black man in a blackm family, she depicts this men not as traitors or deserters, but as strong, exploratory spirits providing a solid foundation for their children, even if his absence affects them. Morrison introduces the imagery of flight, using this to capture a vast foreshadowing to the family’s changing aspects of “Song of…

One of the more neglected parts of the Bible is the Song of Songs (also called the Song of Solomon). Although it is easily found, right in the middle of the Bible, it is a book that is rarely read and hardly known; usually it is known to Muslims through just one verse, which we will come to later. Such neglect does not befit any of God's word, because as it says elsewhere in the Bible: “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in…

This paper claims that the Song of Song is a marker and by product of ancient biblical communal and theological identity with core values that upholds sexual purity and emphasizes the essentiality of desire within covenant love relationship. This paper suggests that Song is an anthology of love songs that emerged from the oral tradition; revised and refined over a period of centuries from 10th to 4th century B.C.E through a medium technology analogous to the shared internet; and edited and…

The Song of Songs, additionally referred to as the Song of Solomon, is predominantly known for its direct contrast to other sections located within the Old Testament. Its name ‘Song of Songs’ strongly implies that it is the most substantial of songs. When compared to separate portions placed in the Old Testament, differences such as the Song of Songs’ lack of vengeance, its use of poetic devices, and its enigmatic references to God is enhanced and highly emphasized. Although violence and…

I wanted to be sure to pick songs that fit my curriculum needs but I thought it was also important to use music of a variety of genres. I looked through my music collection initially and chose four songs. My plan was to use the first verse or two of each song, display the lyrics and play them while my students followed along. I made sure that I prepared my students to look for specific elements of literature and/or author’s purpose and after we listened to each song, I displayed the lyrics again…

slightly obsessed with him at some point in your life. I started listening to his music. I bought all of his albums. Every last one. And out of all 19 albums, the song Beautiful is my favorite. This song stands out from his others, because there is more emotion in this one compared to his other work. When Eminem first began writing the song that later came to be known as Beautiful he had recently lost…

the worse. Ten years ago with songs like, “We belong together” by Mariah Carey and “Let me love you” by Mario showed more thought and substance when it came to the concept of love and intimacy. The songs created in past years showed more conservation and used clever metaphors to insinuate sexual relations, rather than blatantly stating it. In more recent years, with songs like “No role Modelz” by J. Cole and “Trap Queen” by Fetty Wap it is shown that although the song may not be about…

generate a ten-song playlist that typically assists me in achieving physical health while doing exercises, I started to select music from those I usually listened to while I was walking or doing exercises. I was struggling at first when I simply sat down and selected songs in my iPod, because there seemed to be a lot of songs that could be chosen as long as the beats were not too slow and the styles were lively, which made me confused about how to limit the playlist to only ten songs and how to…
