Their story shows how in times of financial problems, family and love stands strong. Kenny Loggins wrote this song as a gift to his brother, Danny. There is an indirect theme which follows the entire story. This theme is love and
This is the final image that this song created for me. It created the image of hope and them achieving the goal that their ancestors set for them. It creates the photo of them becoming free while also acknowledging that they have people against them and they know it. It was a great way to end it and it demonstrates that even with this song, they will still have haters.
"The Star-Spangled Banner" has made its way into tradition since the 1900's for the National sports to play before a game begins honoring our country and the people who have served it.

"I cannot stand and sing the anthem. I cannot salute the flag. I know I am a black man in a white world," wrote Jackie Robinson in his autobiography.
For my final performance, I plan to be involved in three pieces. One piece by Jaressha Baker, another by Brooklyn Hill, and one by myself. Jaressha’s idea is to end the show singing “It's the Hard-Knock Life” from the musical Annie while portraying the stories of Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland, Tamir Rice, and Eric Garner. The lyrics that will be used are “It's a hard-knock life for us, it's a hard-knock life for us. ‘Stead of treated we get tricked.

Parents are the first teachers for their children. A parent should teach a child basic life skills like communication, trust and respect. Norma Bates from Bates Motel does teach her son, Norman Bates, some skills, but they aren’t normal life skills.

Only about 2 weeks ago, Donald Glover (Childish Gambino) released a controversial and culturally influenced music video “This is America”. The video satirically demonstrates the injustices that African Americans have suffered, including innuendos that date back to slavery all the way up to the present maltreatment of African Americans in 2018. The video was an attempt to confront the issues and send a message about the incessant discrimination which blacks have experienced all their life. Glover had known that this would become an incredibly popular and controversial source all throughout the country, and took it upon himself as his “duty in the face of injustice,” just like Ernest J. Gaines has written about the defiance of old African American
Rated G Inspired by the song “Sleepover” by Hayley Kiyoko Summary: Rhett deals with his insecurities and the complicated emotions of being in love. Rhett hated the way that Link always lit up the room when he smiled, the way his voice resonated inside of him when he spoke, burning through him like a wildfire.

Christina Rossetti The sister of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Christina Rossetti’s work was influenced by the doctrines of this artistic movement. Her poetry is simple in rhyme scheme and choice of words, conveying the meaning of her poems to the reader with much clarity.

Adding to that, she was a devout Christian, and so her poems take on a highly religious, spiritual, and emotional theme, removed from material wealth and earthly possessions.
Willie Nelson’s September Song describes how time gets faster each day. Constantly throughout the song, Nelson describes these days in the autumn season as “Special days” and how they dwindle down every second. One piece of lyric really gets to me: “ Oh, it 's a long long while From May to December But the days grow short When you reach September.” This really gets to me because I remember the days where I woke in the morning and it was dark, and when I got out of school in the early afternoon, it only took an hour to get dark again.
