What I have learned in the “same old song” essay? First of all, the things that were always happening at the same way. Pop music were changing their topic following a generation changing, Pop music were always targeted the kid and teenager, and keep away from the older generation. They were usually begun as a kind of counter-culture. Then they gradually became the mainstream. Second, the things those were different today. Today sex-and-violence lyrics were dominating the billboard. The songs were not as tame as the song in 50’s or against the Political correctness as the song in 60’s and 70’s. Today, some pop music was revolting because they want to be grab people’s attention. There was nothing real new break through. Pop music was always explaining the young generation’s zeitgeist and I agreed that the author said “today’s most vacuous pop music” will past away.
Summary of Harry Potter and Magical Realism
This essay wrote about the global affection of Harry Potter. Harry Potter was very popular today. It makes money and star, but not only this. Harry Potter was also affecting the world.
It is like a Rorschach Blot it grab all the national issue and attention. French think it indoctrinates youngsters into the orthodoxy of unfettered market capitalism, Turkey using it as a part of their culture identity. In Russia people think it deliberate insult to President Vladimir Putin.
Harry potter were highlight the clashes of traditionalism and modernism. In many religious it represents an attack to them. Some Christian thinks to show teaching children Witchcraft were real danger. It brings their children into Occult practices.
Also Islamic were think harry potter were mystical and Promoting paganism and undermining Islam. The reception of the books shows that Americans became an object of globalization. People translate the novels to reflect their own interests and preferences.
The "Harry Potter" books lend themselves well to real-world political debates. The evil Voldemort were resemblance to transnational terrorists. Mudbloods were resemblance to fascism.
Harry potter were not only war on terrorism. It also talk About the Innocents, legal inequalities, multiculturalism, Class antagonism, prejudice against mudbloods, and the Intolerance of non-human species. The books were reflecting globalized in many ways such as World Cup and the flying broomsticks.
In fact, harry potter were already more than a products or a imagination of Rowling it was into people mind and became a kind of consciousness.
after all I think maybe harry potter will be next Shakespeare.
