Pink- Stupid Girl

I used this song "Stupid Girl" by Pink because I like the way she uses satire to show the stupidity that is going on with mainstream public fixtures. She opens peoples eyes up to the cracks in todays high standard to be perfect in society. With this song she is talking alot about female enpowerment. She is also showing that with todays society and the messages that women are constantly bombarded with many are striving to be perfect and taking extreme measures to do so. In this song she shows how with human nature people today strive for perfection when in many cases it is unitanable. How this song relates to order and chaos is that although these people who believe they are perfect the celebrities they look orderly to the rest of the world but on the inside they are intermoil because like mainstream americans who strive perfection so do these celebrities. They are put under a microscope and must look and act a certain way which could would be chaos within those persons.

The art of speech

Image provided by Google
Question 1:

Where I am from we have a very different form of dilaect from most. Although I am from one of the buroughs within the city the speech from Staten Island is considerably different. I say many things differently from most. When I say dog I elongate my o's and instead of water I say watuh. There are many things that I say that are different. Comming to EC where there are people from all different states it was a change to hear all of the different dialects. All of my friends speak differently than I do.

Social Interactions:

The interactions between my friends and I here at school are completely different than the interactions that I would have with my friends back home. A topic that me and my friends at EC had was whether we were going to go to the Hockey game on Saturday.

Setting:

The setting of this conversation was in the hallway of my dorm. The people that are present are my four friends ( all female) and myself. In this enviornment we are all completely comfortable and the conversation flows smoothly.

Key:

We were all excited to go to the game. The tone of the conversation was both happy and anxious being that we were worried about driving in the snow.

Genre:

The Genre of the conversation was one of purpose due to the fact that we were trying to figure out the plans for that night. Once everything was figured out we went on to talk about many different topic such one was relationships.
