Wanted

Author’s Note: When you listen to songs, do you listen to the lyrics, or do you just like the beat of the song? The authors either try to make their songs meaningful to what happened in their life or what happened in lives of their fans. I chose the song Wanted because I liked the thought of the song and the lyrics.

When you like a girl, you want to make sure that she knows you actually like her; that she will be your everything and no one else will. In the song Wanted by Hunter Hayes, he sings about how he really likes this girl, and that he would do anything for her to make her feel loved. There are many different point of views throughout this song, and I think that the way you see it, changes everything.

In the artist perspective of the song, Hunter explains that he would like her to give him a chance, because he has lots of feelings for her. As the title states, he wants to make her feel wanted; he wants to treat her like a princess if she would give him a chance.

To get that chance with the girl he fell in love with, Hunter decided to write this song and in my opinion, it sounds like it was a very good idea. When he sings, I imagine Hunter has liked her for a while, and is finally opening up to tell her the truth of how he feels, hoping that she will feel the same way back.

By the end of the song, it sounds like they both realize they should be together. When you look at song lyrics, they are very powerful words or meanings that, in some ways, is easier to express than just speaking it out. The way you interpret the songs and their meanings is all your decision; that is why everything seems different if you can put the lyrics into a different point of view.

The Help

Author's Note: I chose to do my theme essay on the book The Help because I really enjoy this movie and book. When you are reading my essay, please look through all my sentences and check to make sure all of them go together, instead of changing subject. 

In America, there were about 600,000 slaves, but no one realizes that all of the people who were pushed out of their own country; having to lose their families, friends, and homes were forced to serve other people. Most African Americans needed jobs to survive; the only way to do that was to work for other, richer people. In the book The Help, the author, Kathryn Stockett, demonstrates to readers that people are like snowflakes; not one looks the same but they all connect in the way of life. Everyone is human, people shouldn’t be treated like slaves just because they look different. Throughout the book, the main theme that the African Americans had to deal with is racism.

As a result to all the racism going on throughout the world, African Americans still had to stay strong. Many of them were very religious because they trusted God to help them through all the tough times. “Eighteen people were killed in Jackson that night. Ten white and eight black. I don’t think God has color in mind when he sets a tornado loose.” (Aibileen Clark) As a result to the tornado, it gave Eugenia Skeeter and every other person that was sharing memories of their past to create a book to prove that the way African Americans are being treated is not right. Martin Luther King Jr. used his ability to communicate, to end the unequal tension between white and African American people.

“You is kind. You is smart. You is important.” (Aibileen Clark) Although she was never treated kindly by the family she serves, Aibileen still stands up for the little girl she is raising. Five year old girls should not be scolded by their mothers, in fact, nobody should feel the discomfort of being yelled at by anybody. Aibileen knows this, therefore she is there to support the one she has taught ever since the little girl was a born. In 1865, when Abraham Lincoln died, some people started to realize that everybody is the same. Regardless to the color of their skin, nobody should be treated like slaves just because they are different.

Even though there never really was a good reason for racism, people thought that different skin colors would affect their health. After being able to prove that men and women are all people, and that they shouldn’t be treated differently, communities and all around the world are well accomplished. Granted racism has not perfectly changed, but sooner or later, everyone will understand that no matter how different people look, they should be treated exactly the same way you would want to.
