JoJo is finally back and better than ever. When she was just 13 years old, JoJo had her first major breakthrough in 2004 with “Leave (Get Out)” and “Baby It’s You”. However, it has been over a decade and JoJo spent most of that time battling an extensive label dispute. It is now 2015 and the 24-year-old’s battle is finally over as she was let go from Background Records and has kicked off the year signing under Atlantic Records. On August 21, JoJo officially released three new singles— referred to as a “Tringle” by JoJo herself— to make up for lost time and a sneak-peak of her upcoming third album. The Tringle, formerly known as III., is a triple extended play consisting of “When Love Hurts”, “Save My Soul”, “Say Love”, and “The Story of III.”— …show more content…
perfectly captures JoJo’s transformation from a pubescent teen to a young adult, if put side-by-side to her past albums. III’s cover allows new and old fans to finally see JoJo for who she really is rather than what people wanted her to be in past cover arts. This cover seems more significant than past cover arts simply because it is so striking and personal for a close-up headshot. JoJo really seems to just want to lay it all out there for all to see what true individualism is. III.’s cover is extremely chic and stylish and right now that is exactly who JoJo is, an individual who is trying to project their best personal …show more content…
This single really shows off JoJo’s unbelievable vocals with a very dynamic chorus to back her up. Unlike “When Love Hurts” this single is not composed in a very particular way to allow for alternate perceptions. “Save My Soul” is about saying what needs to be said, being vulnerable, and putting yourself out there by giving your all and leading with love and actions. JoJo explained during a promotional event how “Save My Soul” is about growing up with parents who dealt with an alcohol addiction and how this influenced her youth and what she hopes to not fall into. “Save My Soul” can be either the perspective of an addict or lover, who may feel like they do not know how they got into a situation and how to get out. Based on JoJo’s own experience, she understands that at some point everyone has felt darkness, however this darkness is never the end and there will always be some form of light to get out. Overall, this single is moving and very admirable of JoJo to share this part of her
For this analysis, the two album covers that will be discussed are a couple from the artist Kanye West. The first album is Late Registration and the second is Graduation. Although these albums have titles concerning school, the album covers have very clear differences. Both of these albums have a main attraction, the bear, which is shown to evolve not only in these albums, but past albums of this same artist as well.

When you glance at the cover of this book written by Jay Z you automatically know this book is going to be filled with musical touches. One of the things I noticed was that his titles were all the names of songs. He incorporated the hardships, and the different aspects of the entertainment industry into each one. Jay Z used an Andy Warhol tidbit for his cover of his writing. It’s a print from the 1980’s , one of those prints utilized in a basic art class when you have one side drawn , and full colored or painted , and you fold the opposing side to get the same print on the other. The purpose of this particular design was the symbolism behind it. The Giclee print by Andy Warhol signifies the introverted life of an individual, and the unknowns. Jay Z allows us to see deep into his life before the fame, and into his life post fame. It’s kind of a rags to riches type of work.
Throughout Act III Scene II, many conflicts arise. However, the main conflict within the scene is the confusion the lovers face when their perceptions are altered. This confusion enhances the central theme of true love versus false love. There are many aspects of the play that deal with this central theme, but it is most prevalent within this scene. The chaos reaches a climax causing great disruption among the lovers. However, the turmoil is eventually resolved by the character who is originally responsible for the confusion, Puck.

The Cover Art number five speaks about Traveling Companions Caroline and her fathers that are unknown guests in both the city and Forest. Both have chosen to live in the loving shelter of each other instead of living in the dangerous city. Life doesn't necessarily go backward but instead they follow our own path. While on their journey they revisit issues that are old and new. This artwork keeps the life of the city as well as the life of the wilderness in solitude with each other.
In the play Trifles, Susan Glaspell brings together three women through a crime investigation in the late nineteenth century. Glaspell uses symbolism, contrast of sexes, and well-constructed characters to show that justice for all equally important to finding the truth.
Throughout many centuries, art has portrayed an exceedingly dominant role in Japanese culture. These forms of artwork varied from everything from pottery to clay figurines. Overall, the majority of Japanese art was and still is considered to be of high importance in Japanese history. However, the most intriguing and unique form of art was the Isho-ningyo and Iki-ningyo dolls, otherwise known as the "fashion doll" and the “living doll”. Both the Isho-ningyo and the Iki-ningyo were merely two of the plentiful assortment of dolls created by the famous Japanese artisan, Goyo Hirata, as items of “luxurious indulgence.” The Kintaro doll of Isho-ningyo type or Iko-ningyo type illustrates the significant advancements in Japanese doll art throughout history with the newfound technologies and composition attributed in each period.
The second song, Change, also shows the problem with systematic oppression. J. Cole recounts the time that he saw his friend get shot. This is the main point of the whole album and the song revolves around the tale of this friend who is killed. The last song, 4 Your Eyez Only, brings everything back together and tells the full narrative of his friend’s unfortunate fate. While attacking the life that many people glorify and empathizing with those who are stuck in this life, J Cole closes out his fourth album on a hopeful note. Using the perspective of his deceased friend, he writes a song (the actual album), for his daughter, condemning all that is bad and hoping for her to grow into a somebody. In a heart touching verse the father states “Maybe you hate me, maybe you miss me, maybe you spite
I have been in a similar situation where all your friends are telling you a person is not right for you, but all you can see is the good in them. It is very hard to let go of something or someone that has such a strong hold on your heart. It is nearly impossible for people on the outside looking in to understand a situation that they are not directly involved in. When I heard this song in concert it brought back so many memories from the situation I was in. The way that Brantley sings with such passion and a hint of pain in his voice touches my emotions as well. Towards the end of the song, there is a long pause where you think the song is over. Then you hear Brantley sing, “Not like I do” and the music plays and Brantley sings the lyrics “Never understand. That girl’s my best friend.” Then he belts “That girl’s my best friend!” with the drums and guitar blaring. I felt that that moment was the most powerful moment of his entire performance. Brantley transitions from softly singing to almost screaming about this girl that he loves, and in that moment you understand all the pain that Brantley feels. It is such a beautiful song that allows the whole audience to sympathize with Brantley, since so many people have experienced similar heartache.
In the play text version of The Two Gentlemen of Verona, William Shakespeare emphasizes the idea that human beings are not without fault; they are fallible, but when treated with love, shown confidence, and entrusted with loyalty, it is possible for individuals to achieve realistic and lasting relationships. Both the play text and the live performance underscore that idea that the limits of friendship, loyalty, love and human theatrics come at the expense of male aggression and confused boundaries, as is evident by Proteus and his behavior throughout much of the play. The constant dichotomy of loyalty to oneself and loyalty to others is also exemplified through Proteus’ actions, as are the struggles that ensue as a result of the consequences. In appropriate and rightful fashion, the Elizabethan play concludes when the Duke declares that Valentine can replace Thurio as the rightful suitor for his daughter’s hand. In the end, friendship and love conquer jealousy and deceit together – and this bond is held together by the loyalty that is renewed amongst lovers and friends. The live adaptati...

Written in 1962-3, Play depicts three characters, a man (M), and two women (W1 and W2) trapped in urns with only their heads showing. These characters each present their own version of a love triangle, which once occurred between them. It becomes clear during the play that the characters, once tortured by each other, are now tortured by their situation. A spotlight acts as a "unique inquisitor," compelling each to speak when it shines on them, and to stop when it goes out. As this assault continues, the characters become increasingly maddened by the light, and increasingly desperate to make it stop. The play repeats itself, providing the audience with a sense that these characters have been saying the same words for an eternity, and will continue to do so until the light decides they can stop. Beckett demonstrates how "A style of living, theatrically communicable, is used to express a state of mind."
