Inspiring information

I get a chill relaxed feel from the song.
The blending of the drums and vocals into the background bringing out the smooth lead guitar and making the music softer.
One choice made giving this feel guitar was the guitar and keyboard over the other instruments that gives it a creamy smooth feel and moving away from lyrics to lots of vocals making a very soft feel. It's not hard at all.

Someadores

Subject: farm jobs
Occasion early to mid 1900s where latino immigrants were basically forced to work on farms in the southwest because no other place would hire them and they worked extremely long hours for pennies a day.
Audience: the farmers hiring the workers
Purpose: to convince the farmers to give the workers more for what they do
Tone: hopeful and wishful
Meaning is that we need to help the poor and weak to be even with everyone. I say this is the meaning because the painter was a huge proponent of the communist party in Mexico and because the man on the right is kind of crushed and defeated.

Writing process

They made a basic plan then they reconstructed it examined the options then made a final product.
I usually first come up with a main idea then make my main points supporting those then my sub points supporting those then make a cohearent piece which I then edit and revise and then rewrite and finish.

Nostalgia

Nostalgia is the feeling of connection to something and longing for it.
I picture in that scene people dancing and having a fun. The people are dressed in 1950's clothing. The lighting is sort of dark and yellowed lights.
My childhood makes me think of things like a food I used to eat and the funny sound it made when you stirred it it was maccaroni n' cheese, tuna, peas mixed. We made the stuff because my parents were in college and it was cheap. Another thing is songs like the ones we listened to in class like "Runaway" and "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" because my grandparents love this music which makes me love it.

Pinch of Poverty

Some factors that contribute to poverty are child labor and the inability of governments where poverty is rife to financially aid their citizens.
The painting portrays poverty as dark and sad.
Is message is that people in poverty are sometimes too sad to get themselves out of their situation but for those that have hope they may be able to move on.
One element that helps that message get across is the colors which are used which are all drab but the basket of flowers which signifies hopefulness. Another element is lines they are wavy not straight indicating poorness except for the little girl who has straight legs and arms which indicates confidence and the ability to move forwards.

Live Free and Starve vs. The Singer Solution to World Poverty

The author of Live Free believes that the children who are forced into child labor would actuall be in a worse position if they were free. The author of Singer Solution believes we should stop upgrading and buying useless things and donate money to the poor. I probably have a reader's bias towards the second article because I feel very strongly towards children and their rights. However I don't agree with either of the articles completely I disagree that we shouldn't fight child labor with the first article but feel that you don't have to just give any extra money you have away. Against the first article I have a statement it makes: "[the government's of the countries that need child labor banned], mired in countless other problems seem incapable of bringing [food, clothing, and medication] to them." It seems to me that these nations need to step up and do something about this. I disagree with the idea proposed in the other document that there is no "distinction between a Brazilian who sells a homeless child to organ peddlers and an American who already has a TV and upgrades to a better one." I feel this is a silly question because obviously selling people is different than buying a inanimate object like a TV. I support neither of these arguments and feel that anyone who supports either is quite silly.

"Round and Round"

I generally don't like synthesized music nor do I like how keyboards sound which corelates my facts. I feel that I am biased towards 1980's and 70's music because that is what my parents like. I don't think however, that my listener's bias towards this genre into which this song would fall hinders my actual feeling towards it as I really wasn't crazy about it.
