a woman we go through many emotions in our lifetime. One of the scariest things to be is a woman in love. When you are a woman in love you sometime don’t know when to walk away or to keep fighting for your relationship, or your marriage. Beyonce’s Lemonade album shows what we as women tend to go through in a relationship. I can relate to this album on a personal level because everyone song I have been through the same thing or something similar in my past relationships. The songs are in order from hurt, anger, forgiveness, and moving forward.
When in a relationship where you continue to get cheated on you will do anything to your lovers attention. The first song “pray you catch” is about Beyonce wanting Jay-Z to catch her snooping through his things. She does this so he can catch her so he can see she cares and maybe he will stop. I was with a man who was cheating on me and I just wanted him to be honest with me. The guy was dishonest with me and I could smell the other woman all over him.

This song is talking about Beyonce having redemption for Jay-Z, saving him, and there marriage. One thing that I took away from this song is that nothing real can be threatened. I know that the guy that I am with right now is not perfect, he is young and he will make mistakes. We can either grow through them together or I can outgrow him. I choose to grow with my man because what we have is real and I know anything real cannot be threatened. With us having true love it brought salvation back into me and my relationship. Many women tend to feel as though it is not okay to fight for your relationship. I feel as though if it is real continue to fight through and fight for your relationship because God will always see you through hard

    This week, our class had the chance to read four interesting poems of Lines Written a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey, We Real Cool, Mad Girl’s Love Song, and Hanging Fire. Each of these poems highlight the important role that imagery and other poetic devices play into an interpretation of a poem and how crucial it is to understand the perceptive of a poem’s speaker. The poem I enjoyed the most this week was Hanging Fire by Audre Lorde. On the surface, Hanging Fire is about a 14 year-old who struggles with typical adolescent things such as bad skin, boy problems, school dances, and braces. However, once we re-read the poem and took the time to analysis it, it because quite clear that teenaged problems are not the only things troubling the speaker.…

    The social and political system in the United States of America unquestionably revolves around white supremacy and misogyny. Many pop culture icons have attempted to make a change, but none have seemed to have done it quite like Beyoncé Knowles-Carter. The pop icon released her album, Lemonade, in April of 2016, which lyrically and visually shows themes of different social issues such as racism and the treatment of women. Beyoncé combines the two together and explicitly discusses the injustices faced among African-American women, which can be heard and seen in the visuals during songs like “Don’t Hurt Yourself” and “Freedom”. Beyoncé takes her personal life, expands it, and leads it into the illustration of the struggle black women face across the United States.…

This is similar to when we find out that Mayella was abused by her father but still loves him because well, it’s her father. They both show unhealthy relationships and how bad things can be at home. The mood in both of this song and the book is desperate. They are both desperate for love and will do anything to stay by their family/man.…

    __I think the meaning of the song that Beyoncé wrote is describing pain and what females have to go to or young teens go through, trying to impress the world, and society. How that all what we do don’t mean anything or how we present ourselves maybe we aren’t too happy on the inside maybe everything isn’t all that’s well. I like the song genre because it really feels like music for our souls trying to heal it also. The new generation now we teenagers are affected by this particular song. I think the most powerful lyrics of the song is “pretty Hurts”, because that is the pain of the song the ultimate feelings that’s what she’s trying to get the audience to understand.…
