This land is your land

This song's message is individualistic because he talks about how it is his land. He feels that he owns the land. He is also self reliant and says "nobody living can ever make me turn back." The words used are "you, me, and my" instead of "our and we." Guthrie is anti-government because the trespassing sign symbolizes government. They add restrictions that limit freedom and upset him. Also, he thinks the government does not supply enough for the poor people; they are begging outside the church

The Egg

Before he married, the narrator's father was a happy, outgoing, and positive person. After he married, he changed into a negative, discouraged, and angry person. The narrator's view and feelings about chickens are depressing. He thought they are never what they are expected and wanted to be. He recognized that most are ugly or they die. The narrator claimed to have had troubles being happy as a child because he didn't think he had a reason to be happy. I think that his parents were gloomy and not optimistic; he felt he had to act like them. The grotesques in the story were a symbol of his father because they were both trying and failing to entertain people. The grotesques were deformed, and the father was trying to do tricks with eggs; both were failures. The father decides to be a showman and entertain his guests, but he is not skilled enough to do this and is humiliated. The egg defeated the father when he said he has given up and lost all of his confidence

Globalization

-The conflict is external because it is what she feels, and its between her and the US.

-Globalization creates conflict because it is very "one-sided." The speaker means that globalization doesn't include everyone.

-The benefit related to globalization is according to the speaker, you can see what it is like to be a woman.

-The two values were the Qur'an and the constitution

2 + 2 = 5

1.  The lyrics discuss how what a power/authority says is always "right."  In other words, people have to follow what the power says, even if what it says doesn't make sense.  The power has the control.
2.  The listener can't always understand what the music is saying (meaning, he or she can't HEAR the lyrics), which mirrors that what the authority always says can't always be understood.
3.  In 1984, the narrator mentions that the Party could tell everyone that 2+2=5, and they would have to believe it.  The connection is that the people under the authority have to believe the authority, without question, even though the authority makes no sense

1984 number 1

In George Orwell's book 1984, the government creates and monitors a seemingly equal society. Nobody is supposed to have individual thoughts, and they are tricked into completely believing anything that the government or Big Brother deems true. To do this, Big Brother has a branch of government called the Thought Police. They use telescreens to monitor the actions of all citizens while it shouts propaganda of the Party. They are also in charge of dealing with people who commit thought crimes. The usual punishment is called being vaporized because no evidence of existence is left. The Party's three main slogans are "War is Peace," "Freedom is Slavery," and "Ignorance is Strength." These emphasize the importance of collectivism, naivety, and war. The government is also able to alter the past to prove that it is always correct and to show everyone that the present is better than the past, and they should be happy. This is also how the vaporization occurs; the past is changed so vaporized people seem to have never existed. Although this is not a perfect society, and people are not equal and happy, it is technically a utopia. It is because there is the illusion of equality, but the leaders of the Party have more power than lower members and average citizens.  All ideas of conflict within the society were eliminated because the government was supposedly in an endless war with one society and an alliance with another. Finally, the people think that they are happy because the Party made it seem like their present lives are much better than in the past, but in reality, they are worse. 

Utopia

Utopia means a perfect society where everyone is equal to one another and people at least think that they are happy.
My utopia would be the world of Pokemon. This is because all anyone would do is walk around and catch pokemon and battle other trainers. Also in this world there is no real pressure to be good in school or whatever you are doing so its more relaxed.
Mysoundtrack would be something like "I gotta feeling" by the black eyed peas because its fun and upbeat and doesnt get boring.

you were right

"All we are is dust in the wind" is an example of a lyrical inference about the content of the song. It is saying how he and the person he is singing to are not very important. He has experienced a loss, and he values himself less. An analytical statement about the musical content of the song is about the loud drums. They are so loud they drown out the lyrics, and this shows how he is unimportant compared to others. The contrasting rhythm and lyrics makes the song less effective because it's almost as it is a contradiction to itself.
