My Soundtrack represents me from when i was younger and then to today. When i was younger i like rap and R & B because it was the cool thing to do. Also another reason why i listened to rap and R & B is because thats what boys did, if you listen to "girly" music you were made fun of and called some different names. As of now i am a big country fan not because I am a guy its because i love the lyrics to country music and the way i can connect with country music. My soundtrack also represents me as i have matured in my life.


My music taste has only changed because country music i can listen to no matter what mood i am in. With rap i have to be in a certain mood to listen to it. My music taste has only changed a little.


The articles for this blog were a bit different from the other we have been previously reading. Reviving Ophelia stuck out a little bit in my mind. The way girls so change during the adolescence really stuck out in my mind because when i was growing up my best friend was a girl that dressed like a tomboy. My best friend and I were unsepreable until we got into middle school. In middle school she started changing and wearing different clothes and acting more girly and started hanging out with me less. I think she started doing this because she wanted to fit in and be more acceptable with all the other girls. The reason why girls go throught such changes is stated in article. The reason why they change so much is because of our culture and the reason why out culture changes them is because of acceptance. Girls can't be accepted unless they are girly and less tomboyish.


Kindlon's book really related to many issues we have been talking about in class. I also believe that women should have every opportunity to take advantages of the many movements that have occured for women, and the many to come. I believe my generation is the next generation to make a big movement help help get women more accepted by our culture.


The Tannen article was the only one i could really relate to my playlist. The reason i say this is because of stereotypes are a big part of this article. It talks about relationships between men and women and the different stereotypes that come along with the different kinds relationships. The main thing the article stated that man in private aren't that talkitive, but in public me will speak thier minds and let whats on thier chest off. I agree with this becasue in private with my girlfriend i don't express myself that much, but when we are around other people i do speak my mind openly and vividly with other couples or people.
My Playlist
1. Changes: the reason i chose the song changes is because the song talks about tupac's life and alll the changes he has gone through and how he has changed for the good.
2. I need a girl part II: i chose this song because it shows how men need a women in thier life to help them get through it.
3. Big Papa: this song shows how no matter what men do they will always stick up for the ones they love
4. Country Grammer: This was my favorite song when i was younger, it just talks about where Nelly grew up.
5. I should of listen: this song talks about lil flips life and how he should of listen to his mother who was his role model because he was making bad decisions in his life, the reason why his mother was his role model was becasue she came from a bad neighborhood but still made something for her life.
6. My next 30 years: this song just talks about how he wants to spend the rest of his life with the women he loves
7. Friends in low places: talks about no matter what things you do in your life, your friends will always be there for you.
8. Another try: I chose this song because it talks about a man who lost the one he loves and next time he finds someone that cares for him as much as he does he will not let her go without a fight. This shows that men need women in thier lives no matter what happens.
9. Oklahoma girl: i chose this song becasue it is my favorite country song and it talks about how men will do just about anything for some women that they love.
10. Kiss me in the dark: this song shows how dark a man can be without love from a women.
