Think of two songs you enjoy, and write an essay comparing and contrasting them. You can focus on style, rhythm, lyrics, mood, or other qualities of the songs.

The Nights by Avicii takes me out of this world. I listen to that song and my mood for the day changes, it re-calibrates my mental coordination and there is just something about the lyrics! He explicitly sang about how his dad always told him that one day, he would leave the life he loved so much to somewhere else and how he must live a great life to be remembered. What stronger lyric does one seek to facilitate immense focus.

Whenever I feel like I have achieved too much and was getting proud, I play that song and it humbles me at an instant. Avicii said 'your wild life will live for younger days, think of me if you are ever afraid', that lyrical content sends chills down my spine. I thought within myself, how do these guys come up with such original content? A perfect work of Art and Music fused into one I must say.

On the other hand, there is some other tune that gets under my skin and that is African Queen by a Nigerian singer 2-face. He sheds light on the pureness and beauty of the African Woman, he virtuousness, her originality, and her desire to love unconditionally. He outed; 'just like the sun, you light up the earth, you light up my life, the only one, I've ever seen with a smile so bright'! Tell me those words do not hit you hard! I love everything that has to do with love and this songs makes me appreciate women more. These two songs will forever be my favorites!

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
