Distracted not because we want to, but we are distracted because we choose to. We wait in eager expectation for a clear understanding of the concept of third place in which the meaning seems obscure but is indeed lucid if we open our eyes and take heath to the constant environment around us. Our diminished…
By analyzing Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” and G-Eazy’s “Me, Myself & I”, one can see many of the same messages being portrayed recurrently in both of the songs.

There can be two separate and independent forces or ways in order to think but at the end of the day both are equal, and have the same logical reasoning…
to be read, and Emily Dickinson did just that. Dickinson was able to correlate everyday actions to much more profound meanings; with this mastered ability of hers, the reader could share the same obscure thoughts as the speaker. Even the core message of the poem itself can be relatable to all who have had to endure some sort of ungraspable stress, which in a sense is a real life nightmare, because it is always in one’s mind. The deeper the reader gets into the poem, the…
