Soma

In Aldous Huxley's A Brave New World, Soma is a manipulative drug that stops you from truly being you because your identity and individuality is taken away. This is also the theme of the song Soma by The Strokes, that Soma takes away self identity. This is shown in when it says "losing against their dreams" meaning that what they actually want is something they can't have and they are just getting father and farther away.  It also says "Tried it once and they like it, then tried to hide it" showing their conformity and how the soma takes away their individuality.

Sentence 1 and 2- Connects the song to book/ topic sentence
Sentence 3- Evidence and explanation
Sentence 4- Evidence and explanation

2+2=5

The subject is not conforming and being an indivual. The tone is rebellious at first, he didn't want to be like everyone else. The theme is that conformity is a powerful thing. As shown in the song, you may not want to conform but it's hard not to.

Loss of Innocence

Innocence means ignorance. Ignorance means not knowing something so if you learn what you didn't know you can lose that ignorance or innocence.
Evidence:
-The girl is kind of intertwined with the guy showing her loss of innocence because black isnt usually  usually associated with good things.
-The woman is trying to clothe the girl but the guy is blowing the clothes away
-The background is a snake, showing her loss of innocence because snakes aren't usually good, the devil is an example

Don't You Want Me?

The song is about a couple that was together but broke up. From the guys perspective, he's upset because he felt that all the girl did was use him to get where she is now and that the break up was unfair. The girl says that she got where she is on her own without help from the guy and isn't sorry about the break up.  An example from my life is when my mom and I talk. She always thinks that I'm talking back or getting smart when I think I'm just responding to what she said.

Young Life

1. The man is proud of what he got

Fact: The deer is hanging on top of the truck, showing how much value it is to him

2. The boy feels out of place

Fact: He is wearing different clothes than his parents and the deer "surrounds" them but not him

3. He is part of a southern culture. 

Fact: The position of the deer again shows that he takes pride in what he does along with the way he stands and holds his gun. It also shows that this is how he makes his living because he is holding his wife close to him, because he is providing for her through his hunting.

Blackbird

Love Language

The purpose of this film was to raise awareness for def people and/or def organizations. It was good at achieving this purpose because it made you realize that def people are just like everyone else, as shown when he said that she was still beautiful. I'm left with a feeling of hope because it makes me see that anyone, no matter what their circumstances, can do anything they want to do

Sign Language

Semeadores

S-Workers in a field
N-Diego Rivera
A-The middle-class Americans who would most likely see this painting in an art gallery
P-To show how laborers work hard but don't get any credit

The men's feet are pretty much rooted to the ground, showing how much they are attached to their work. Also their figures kind of blend into the never ending back ground background, showing how their work is never ending and how they aren't really seen and appreciated for the work they do.
