Before I say anything else I just want to say that the purpose of this opening was to get you interested. Having said that I actually do not know the answer to that question however I do know about the theme of that question. Being able to push through when the going gets tough. There are 3 songs that I have chosen that convey the same theme. The writers of these songs are Macklemore a white rapper and Dan Auerbach from the band Cage the Elephant. I intend to analyze “Hold your Head Up” and “Inhale Deep” by Macklemore accompanied by “Trouble” by Dan Auerbach to show how they all convey that we should keep going even when things get hard.

The light in the sky symbolizes hope and Macklemore is saying that we should continue with hope even though we might be fed up. Another example of a symbol being used occurs in the lyrics when…

On a late Monday night in November, I had the chance to attend an Alcoholic Anonymous support group hosted in a church called Forest Hills Presbyterians church. The support group name was not the typical name we mostly hear about an AA group, the name was Progress Not Perfection.

my hands as I grab the ball to ship it out to my teammate. I throw it as best as I can through the torrential downpour, and immediately feel a shoulder crush my ribs, causing my head to fall and slam in the mud. My vision became blocked by mud and bodies, yet I still try to watch as the ball is flying from hands to hands. An open space is cleared only feet from the Try Zone. All of a sudden, the ball hits the ground and whistle blows; we just lost the national championship by one point. My body…

I was in hell. Try outs were a pain in the ass. I had never ever been through so much in one day. I loved basketball so much, I just love it. We warmed up and introduced ourselves to each other. Then the pain began, we started with the basic drills that everyone should know. We did lay ups, passes, and then we ran! Running will always be a natural thing, but me a person who hates running?
