Critical Analysis

CRITICAL ANALYSIS:
What I think of this rap entitled Hypnotize by biggie smalls is nothing but a whole lot of gangsta talk.
The stuff he said he would do he probably known in his heart he should not do! In the stanza when he says
"Dare I squeeze three at your cherry M-3", is in reference to a car named BMW. He is using terms dealing with cars.
In this song of biggies he is basically saying that girls want to be with him because he has money. In my opinion that is
not even true. But some maybe do.
In this song the meaning is in the chorus, (Biggie Biggie Biggie can't you see
Sometimes your words just hypnotize me
And I just love your flashy ways
Guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid (uh) I think he's just being something he really know he isn't! Thats my critical Analysis.

Critical Analysis:"Rehab" by Rihanna and Justin Timberlake

[Verse 1:]
Baby, baby
When we first met
I never felt something so strong
You were like my lover
And my best friend
All wrapped into one
With a ribbon on it
And all of a sudden
you went and left
I didn't know how to follow
It's like a shock
That spun me around
And now my heart's dead
I feel so empty and hollow

CRITICAL ANALYSIS:
What I think about this song, Is she is hooked on her lover like a drug. When her lover decide to leave she feels
like she is about to check into Rehab. And he is her disease. The meaning is also in the chorus. The meaning is:
You're the reason
Why I'm thinking
I don't wanna smoke on
These cigarettes no more
I guess that's what I get
For wishful thinking
Should've never let you enter my door
Next time you wanna go on and leave
I should just let you go on and do it
Cause now I'm using like I bleed
It's like I checked into rehab
Baby you're my disease

Rites Ceremony Answers

1. The virtue I chose to use was Potential.
2. The ways I "held dear" to my virtue was to change my ways as of not using the potential I know I have and putting it to my best ability.
3. During the walk of faith my grandmother told me on the day I was born she new I had a talent that I would soon reveal. She said she could just feel it. She also said around two she started seeing me read books. Ever since then I've been a fan of books of all kinds, and I still am!!
4. In front of everyone who came to the ceremony my grandmother said, " I was glad that Kaleia told me about this affair because no other school does these kind of things with thier students. But one thing I knew was that Kaleia had something special coming her way." then she said, "Kaleia you know that I love you"!!!!
5. The memories that standout for me from the event was what my grandmother said to me during the walk of faith. I will be sure to carry those memories with me through out my life. And another memory that I will remember was how good the food tasted at the ceremony and I wish to go to that vegan resturant out of schools wishes!
