In Olaudah Equiano's The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African, Written by Himself, he tells in an autobiographical sense of the stresses on his life caused by slavery. He both endorses and denounces slavery itself but in terms of who the listener is, in my opinion. He touches on the commodification of human life and the strains on a black man’s existence both as a slave and freedman.…

“Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.” People are born into situations that are not always ideal for growing up, and that is often related to said person following in the steps of a poorly guided life. These situations are not excuses for following that path because though the situation might be very bad the individual still can make their own choices and decisions, and can change the way they live life. It is harder to make change, and be different than those around you, but it is entirely possible. Even without direct guidance or proper role models people still know right from wrong and can observe the people around them seeing how to act and how not to act. Following the path of change and being an individual is not easy but on that path whether you have no parental guidance, or role models, or even if you have the perfect life, it is still your choice to act right or wrongly. If that path is taken correctly and the experiences are looked at with a positive mindset, things are essential to a successful life. The shift in parental roles in Plainsong impacted the children positively due to the positive developments in their characters by portraying commitment, work ethic, intestinal fortitude, and the ability to determine right…

“Love and other Catastrophes: A Mix Tape” is by Amanda Holzer is a series of all types of love songs and I think it’s really cool how someone can make a complete story out of a list of songs. The mix tape kind of tells a story and at the beginning of it, the songs are about being alone then the beginning of a relationship starting, songs like, “All by myself” by Eric Carmen, “Let’s Dance” by David Bowie, “We’ve only Just Begun” by the Carpenters and “My Girl” by the Temptations are just a few songs that are at the beginning of the mix tape. These songs are about the beginning of a relationship and the beauty and happiness that comes along with a new relationship. Sort of in the middle the relationship becomes a little rocky and unpredictable and hints of cheating. Songs like “There goes My Baby” by the Drifters, “What’s Going On?” by Marvin Gaye, “Where Did you Sleep Last Night” by Leadbelly, “Your Cheatin’ Heart” by Tammy Wynette are a few songs that enter the middle of the mix tape. But towards the end, the songs get colder and we see that the relationship is over. “Breaking up is Hard To Do” by Neil Sedaka, “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor, “All Out of Love” by Air Supply and “All By Myself” by Eric Carmen are the final songs that end the relationship so to speak. We see through this mix tape that people start out alone and they end up alone in the end.…

The Jazz Anecdotes by Bill Crow covers in detail about the History, definition, figures and in general in depth understanding of Jazz music. It's Impossible to describe and name all the figures in a two page short essay, but I'll do my best to fit as much as possible. According to the book: at first, the idea of pep and having a good time which was a Victorian morality against rebellion mentality shaped the idea of jazz. It became a rich and formal tradition of American music. Ragtime which was an African style of music and was played by piano influenced the creation of jazz by African American. The first group ever to play jazz were; Tom browns band from Dixie land in South in 1916. Their Idea was just Musical literacy, they couldn't read music, but they were so talented that they would only play by ear. For this particular reason many other musicians would call them negative names. After a decade, Jazz became more popular, but it never became Americas favorite music. However, popular music generated from jazz. This fact made jazz more of a life style( partying, having a good time). At that point in time any music that wasn't religious or classical was mostly referred to Jazz ( in the 20's). Jazz musicians were often so talented that pop music producers would depend on Jazz musicians for their creativity to make money for themselves. Therefore, Jazz became the musicians "Music". Their honest desire and artistic creativity made them very proud. So, it wasn't just because of money. It was a unique way of life that they believed not everyone understands.…
