Billy Joel Poetry Assignment (Add space as necessary to complete assignment.) Name______________________________________________
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

poem Title  : My life by  Billy Joel

This is a song about strength. The strength to  self re-examine oneself, and the strength to go about life the way you desire it. The strength move away from aspect of your life you are not okay with. The strength to avoid toxic people around you, people who only see things in their own perspective. The poem was written during an era when the social expectation was mostly about conforming, doing things that the society expected even if it is driving you nut.

Quotations important to the song

1.<em>Got a call from an old friend</em>

<em>We used to be real close</em>

<em>Said he couldn't go on the American way</em>

<em>Closed the shop, sold the house</em>

<em>Bought a ticket to the West Coast</em>

<em>Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A</em>

   This gives us a background of who the song is directed to, someone who used to be very close to him but has take to another path in life and was expecting him is to join him on it.

2. <em>I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright</em>

<em>I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home</em>

<em>I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life</em>

<em>Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone</em>

<em />

This section potrayed his insistence on followinng his own path, not just conforming to others expectation.

3.<em> They will tell you, you can't sleep alone in a strange place</em>

<em>Then they'll tell you, you can't sleep with somebody else</em>

<em>Ah, but sooner or later you sleep in your own space</em>

<em>Either way it's okay you wake up with yourself</em>

this section is defined what he is expected to do, represeting societal expectations he is expected to conform with.

4. I never said you had to offer me a second chance

(I never said you had to)

I never said I was a victim of circumstance

This section is portrays that he is ready to find his own path in life rather than conforming. it shows strenght to explore and seek more in his own way

Discussable question that the poem evokes in your mind as a reader

The main question raise in the poem is about conforming. why should we conform? why we limit ourself just to satisfy others? why should we be something else other than what we truly want?

According to the scholars, the english languages is tipically divided into how many historical periods?
Rainbow [258]

The English language is the result of the blending of several languages into one. These are the stages in the formation of the language:

- Old English: first appeared during the early Middle Ages (550-1066 AD). It was a Germanic dialect spoken by the Angle, Saxon and Jute invaders of the ancient Roman Britain. It became predominant and also adopted several words of Brittonic and Latin in its <em>lexicon</em>.

- Middle English: in 1066 the French Norman William the Conqueror invaded and subjugated England. Old French Norman would be the language of the Royal Court and the civil administration until the 16th century (1150-1500 AD). During this time a large influx of French and Latin words entered the English lexicon. Nowadays, 28 percent of English words come from French and 29 % come from Latin but the grammatical structure remains undoubtedly Germanic and the most commonly and most often used words are Germanic.

- Early Modern English: it gradually replaced French in the court and administrations between the years 1500 – 1750 AD. Three was a Great Vowel Shift during this period, when pronunciation of vowels completely changed but no one knows yet why or how it occurred.

- Late Modern English: 1750-1900 AD. The modern language was already formed with an influx of non-European words coming from the British Empire colonies.

- Contemporary English 1900 – now. Than language as we know it nowadays.

Why would an image of a hero change over time?
Naddika [18.5K]
I believe that an image of a hero would change over time D. to appeal to what modern-day audiences like and expect.
Heroes in the literature of the past were quite different from what we are used to in the modern day. So, the authors need to adapt their heroes a bit in order to suit the needs of modern-day audience who wants to read about something a little bit more contemporary.
