pink floyd the wall



                                                              Pink Floyd   


In pink Floyd “The Wall” the music video seems to convey the fact that school is meant to be unimaginative and boring. By using imagery to convey the theme of sameness the kids wear masks that don’t have real faces and are all exactly the same, this explains the lyrics “just another brick in the wall.” Also by using imagery pink Floyd seems to suggest that the kids are in some sort of internment camp, something similar to Nazism. This is depicted in the symbols of hallways and large rooms where the children seem to be locked in or kept.  Also in the video it is very relevant as in the first part when the teacher takes away his poems it shows a sort of resistance, this is very much shown in the lyrics and then enhanced and revealed with the poem making. The tone that seems to be in the video and the music itself is very rebellious also as it seems to want to break free of the conformity even though that is all there is in this world of the video, the students don’t really reflect this unless the focal point is only on the boy in the beginning in which case it is very reflective.

creative writing song, apparently



"Apparently"
[Hook:]                                                                                                      
Oh right, oh
Oh why na-da-da-da
I keep my head high  : Allusion
I got my wings to carry me  : Allusion
I don't know freedom
I want my dreams to rescue me:  personification                   
I keep my faith strong: personification
I ask the lord to follow me : paradox
I've been unfaithful :Paradox
I don't know why you call on me

This is my canvas :  symbolism
I'ma paint it how I want it baby, oh I
This is my canvas
I'ma paint it, paint it, paint it, how I want it n***a
F**k you cause there
There is no right or wrong : rhyme
Only a song : rhyme
I like to write alone: rhyme 2
Be in my zone: rhyme 2
Think back to Forest Hills, no perfect home: allusion
But the only thing like home I've ever known
Until they snatched it from my mama
And foreclosed her on the loan
I'm so sorry that I left you there to deal with that alone
I was up in New York City chasin' panties, gettin' dome: symbolism: pun: ambiguity: allegory
Had no clue what you was goin' through
How could you be so strong?
And how could I be so selfish, I know I can be so selfish: internal rhyme, rhyme 4
I could tell by how I treat you with my girl
Damn she so selfless, but she put up with my way: rhyme 4
Because she loves me like you do
And though it don't always show I love her just like I love you
And I need to treat you better rhyme 5
Wish you could live forever, so we could spend more time together : internal rhyme, rhyme 5
(I love you mama)

[Hook]

[Bridge:]
Apparently, you believe in me, you believe in me
Apparently, you believe in me and I thank you for it

Another day another rhyme ho
Another day another time zone
Today I woke up feelin' horny so it's only right
I got two bitches playin' on my trombone: pun: double entendre: ambiguity: allegory:
Keep up, never sure where the words would take me: personification
N***as eat em up, and regurgitate me : double entendre
Shit jumped tight never slurred it lazy
Give a virgin the urge to r**e me :  irony: paradox: oxymoron
N***a please
Best friends really make great for enemies : Paradox oxymoron
My watch came n***as can't wait for one of these
I see you nigga, this ain't no Rolex, it's a AP n***a
I'm hot dog, catch up to me n***a
Uh, couldn't resist
Aim for the stars and I shouldn't have missed :  symbolism: hyperbole
But I was ridin' on fumes so I stopped by the moon:  hyperbole:  imagery: double entendre
Now I'm sittin' on the hood of this b***h
Like thanks for the view
Waitin' on thanks from a few cause without me you wouldn't exist
You know that shit gave you the blueprint don't forget
Cole is your phone on zero percent: Objectification
Going off, now n***as showin' off
N***as swear they hard but they flowin' soft
I'm taking off like boing on a big ass Boeing : simile imagery
Gettin' head like a coin toss: double entendre: ambiguity: allegory: pun
Too easy



1st stanza:
He starts off talking about presumably this piece of work and a pad of paper as his "canvas" He then utilizes a repetition of words and profanity to say that he can "paint it" how he wants to or meaning he can write what he wants, whatever he wants. Then he refers to the fact that the song is not right or wrong its just that, a song meaning it doesn't have to be good or bad it is just something that he wrote.  He continues by thinking about his old house, because he left to rap, and he thinks back to his mother being foreclosed, "snatched"  because she couldn't pay the loan. Then he continues by explain how he feels bad for leaving her there and how he was young and was only interested in per-say coitus He only continues to talk about how bad he feels about leaving her there. And he reminisces about how he needs to spend more time together.

2nd stanza:
He starts to talk about how he is always moving around, then he starts off with self hype, followed by him questioning those who dislike his songs, and why they dislike it, and he talks about how when he writes he isn't slaking he is never lazy he always has his best work.  He most likely then alludes to friend he left behind that used to be on him because he started to make money thus his mention of the expensive watches.  And he follows up by saying he gave the original of what he writes and most likely someone took it and used it as his or her own and he is now on the top of the world and he finds it easy

Hook:
He in my opinion seems to be referring to a hard time in his life in which he did something wrong, but had a guardian angel of some sort, but he doesn't know why they helped him when he did so wrong. This is why he is a rapper and is making money

modest proposal



 A modest proposal; obesity yea!
America: a beautiful place; flowers, cities, fast food, technology, towns, friends, melting pots. America is awesome! Right? Is that not what we all believe, you, me, our neighbors, cousins, I mean everybody thinks that, we even sucked in people from other countries, some of them come here to live better lives, some to sell drugs, some because they have to, because everybody still knows that for whatever your reason is, America is awesome. Yet there is another term that America has adopted that is under the same prefixes, some people know about it, but this is much worse. This is a major problem. That thing is not awesome; it is obesity…dun dun dunnnnn.  Everybody knows someone that is, I know someone that is, I am someone that is but that’s ok because hell I’m not alone, and probably never will be at this rate. So I would humbly like to present my plan for American skinniness, I shall call it the Twig movement. The more I think about it the more real it gets. Why do we never win the Olympics, or why do we always win but the person’s name is always like Asian or Russian, but we win, well the reason is we export those great athletes from different counties, we only have like 4 athletes in every Olympics each one is from a different European country. This is because we are over populated by the obese; we can’t compete so we buy people to compete, what is that malarkey, like really.  To continue has anybody ever notice the fact that the most controversial thing in New York in like 2010 was the mayor getting rid of Big Gulp drinks, like are we all fat do we need this overly large cup to drink from? Well if you don’t think so, then I’d get to talking to some new yorkas because apparently they really care that their drink is SUPER SIZED, like we all need that.  Plus what the hell are we going to do when a war roles around and we send 300 pound men and women into the army and they get to like 250 and we have to attack, yea nothing were going to send obese people to this county to try to kill skinny people who move much faster than we do.  So this all brings upon my main point the coup’ d’état, my idea the most amazing thing heard by anybody ever and you guys get to hear it first. So think about this, where are skinnies located? You got it, yea I bet you all had the same answer… Africa… What did you say…Africa…Don’t be afraid…Africa… Say it like you mean it…F*****g Africa… ok ok calm it down there reader don’t need to get rambunctious. But you are correct Africa, if, in theory we send every single obese person to Africa how could we have a fat country?  The thing is how do I know who is obese and who is just dense and “thick boned“ well I have come up with an answer, a specialized “You’re going to Africa” chart. So if you are 4 feet and under and obese end of story you are going in a stew and being sent to other starving countries, but if you are 4’1 through 5 feet tall you can only be 150, yea then if you are bigger than that you’re going to Africa.  5’1 to 6’ tall and you can be 200 pounds, with a body fat to muscle ratio of 2-1 so if you are 50% fat and 25% muscle, by by fatso, if your 1-2 then I guess you can stay, then you may ask “what is your 1-1 ratio, well then in that case you get to go on a boat to a special place called the bottom of the ocean because then you would be like mostly water and bone, and that’s weird  and no person in Africa is going to want you.  If you are 6’1” to 7’ then you may weigh 250 with the same index as listed above, if over 7 feet, you are a freak of nature and probably a basketball player so you can probably stay.  Transportation will be achieved in the best possible way this is you buying your own plane ticket and leaving, and if you do not leave you will be burned alive on a stake in public for humiliation and execution, and be aflame for 24-48 hours cause there is extra stuff to burn.  Once in Africa a system of bidding will occur, the African people may bet on you, since their currency is more than likely beans we will take the beans show them to you and proceed to throw them in the trash, we won’t even recycle them. Once sold to this family they are allowed to trade you, sell you, eat you, leave you to die, or anything that you can physically think they could do to you they can and will, this may lead to death but that’s ok, its the price for skinny. Since Africa is so skinny we assume they cannot feed their own family let alone you so more than likely half of you will get eaten and should get eaten, if this does not work and the fattys' bodies do not start to eat themselves and or the obese people do not start eating themselves, then a full blown atomic attack will ensue and Russia will be destroyed so that the African people and you may migrate there where it is cold and your bodies will die quickly because you will have attempted to migrate thousands of miles for death and coldness.  This will for starts help the African population to thrive, or die either or, not only that but back in the US of A there will be a bunch of extra food, this we can give to other starving countries which are not Africa and help them get fit and strong and not scrawny and weak.  Also this will help our relations with china because once the fatty’s come back almost dead they can start building muscle and making stuff again then we will be out of debt with china. And able to fend them off, plus china will respect us fit not fat humans. Now with such a strong well-built plan I always anticipate pointless questions that must be answered. Such as “Aren’t we just killing people,”  Well my answer to that is yes kind of, but we have overpopulation as it is we could use a few deaths here and there and probably all over Africa. Another question or annoying statement might be,” Most of America is fat we will have nobody left.” I would say that is true cause it is but we have food the universal solver of world peace, and now that the fats are gone we have all the food in the world at our disposal, plus we have already imported people from other countries so we have some people. One last question might arise “ now that we have all that food mightent the skinnies get fat.” No cause we will kill them if they do. If we are a skinny country we win the Olympics with dudes name Bob Johnson and dudets named Sarah smith,   we fight any war and win, plus we all feel good and can interact with each other in probably a more ahhem, a uh bow chica wow wow, way if I may say.  Now I also thought of working out and eating right as a ok way to make America skinnier, but that seems oddly pointless plus haven’t we been trying this for years, yea no that is a poor choice Africa seems to be the most sophisticated and well rounded idea.
