Don't you want me?

This man at a bar is very interested in a waitress. THe girl, however, is not interested in the man. They break up after a 5 year relationship. There are two different interpretations of the situation. THe man thinks that the girl wants him and the girl just wants to be left alone by the man. THey did break up after all. Since they had different pasts and opinions, they see the situation differently.
An example with my life is a fight with my mom. She always thinks that shes right and i think that I am right. Instead of compramise she always wins, since she's the mom.

Blackbird

Blackbird-african americans
Broken wings- their struggles
light at the end of the dark night- hope

This song symbolizes desegregation that was going on at the time. THe blackbird is a literal symbol for african americans and isn't hard to get. The broken wings show the struggles and hardships that these people had to go through to get what they wanted; equality. The light shows hope for the equality in the future.

"Shame"

The guy in this song wants another chance with his girl because he knows that he is wrong and he admits it here. The tone here would be regretful. That means that someone feels bad about what they've done in the past. using "guilt" and "blame" it gives the connotation of bad or sad and even pulls at the idea of regretful. Regretful can be also with feeling remorse for what they've done. "boatloads of shame" shows that they are ashamed of what they've wrongly done and are regretful, just like the tone suggests.

Sign Language

THe affect was to take advantage of opportunities that arise before you.
The director used
1. Soft music
2. THe only one to take a flyer from the girl was the guy, she smiled.
3. the guy could always see the girl because they were directly across the street.

Love Language

THe purpose of this video was to show awareness for deaf children and to prove that they are like everyone else. Since they are just like us they deserve the love that we find and they are able to find it. It was affective by including sounds like the songs that they were listening to. It left me feeling content because everyone was happy in the end.

Good Old Desk Journal 9/5/12

S- His dependable Desk.
N- A person who works at a desk from 9-5. He really likes his desk and job.
A- People who listen to rock music, or people who have desks or desk jobs.
P- His desk is dependable. Things that never change are comforting.

I think the song compares God to something very dependable and something always there.
3 examples:
1. "Such a comfort to know its got no place to go"
2. "Never once heard it cry."
3. A giant of all times"

The Pinch of Poverty Journal 9/3/12

S- The subject of the painting is poverty.
N- The narrator has a bias because he sees poverty a lot and so he knows what it looks like, whereas other people don't see it often. He may have been in poverty.
A- For the people not in poverty. Directed towards middle to upper class who don't see poverty and what it is like.
P- To show the truth about poverty and the desperation and hope of those in it.

I think the title means that the painting is just a little of what poverty really is. "Pinch" in a cookbook means a very small amount. So maybe the artist wanted to show that this was only the "tip of the iceberg", or just the beginning of poverty.

Artistic elements:
1. The flowers are bright, maybe like a metaphor to hope of selling and getting money.
2. The way the artist placed the people shows that the children are dependent on the mother. The boy leans on his mother and the baby is being held by her.
