Natasha Bedingfield

Transcendentalism was in the time period of the dark romantics, this was the movement where people believe in following their heart, defying societal standards, and getting more in touch with nature. The song “Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield is a perfect example of transcendentalism because the song has a powerful statement about controlling your destiny, following your heart, and living for yourself. One of the lines in the song states, “Live your life with arms wide open/Today is where your book begins/The rest is still unwritten” (15-17). Just these few lines show so much about transcendentalism, line 15 is saying live your life how you want to live it, don’t be afraid of anything, and embrace the world. Lines 16 and 17 are telling you…

The lyrics, “They smile in your face/ All the time they want to take your place/ the back stabbers” show how the friends would be kind to Hamlet to his face. In act II, scene II, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern visit Hamlet and try to convince him that it is just because they are friends who want to catch up. Hamlet sees right through…

For centuries, music has been used to tell stories and express emotions all over the world. No matter what language you speak or country you live in there is the beauty of songs.

Because everyone differs from one another, each person’s opinions and interpretations of everyday events will vary based on how the information is perceived. These differences are especially noticed when reading and analyzing works of literature.

Although Natasha Trethewey’s poem, “Artifact,” is a rather simply structured and straightforward poem, the connotations of the diction can…

an eye ago. The song “Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield started to play as the first model, also known as my sister, stepped onto the stage in a blue oriental Qipao with sewn on white stars. The sound of cheers almost drowned out the song in the background. “I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned” The end of the first verse cued another model, Seraphina, to stride down the stage dressed in a recreation of the school uniform…

This shows that she’s comfortable of who she is. She likes who she is now. “Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera. This song is perfect for transcendentalism because it shows that…

… Not just a cell in the social body” (Huxley, 90). Through Huxley’s indirect characterization of Bernard in the World State, he is saying that Bernard wants to be more of his own person than to be as one with society. We can see that Bernard is struggling to fit in with society, but in reality he only wants to be himself, away from the unity. For Bernard, it is hard for him to be the individual that he strives to be; but for contemporary society, we want people to follow their own paths in…
