My first reaction to the song If you miss me from the back of the bus was that it is a very powerful song for fighting for your freedom. Throughout the entire song the person is basically doing something, to either use the rights that they already have or to fight for their rights. An example of this is when the narrator is on the picket line and goes to jail for being on the picket line. I am selecting this song because it is interesting to me throughout the entire song the person keeps on doing something for their rights until they get what they want. At the end of the song the person becomes a bus driver. I would like to know about the song is this song coming from a males or females point of view.

The types of expressions: music, writing, sports, and art that mean the most to me are;Rap music, Science fiction novels, basketball, and cartoons. Rap means somethin to me because it is my favorite genre of music. Rap artists express themselves in a way that modern society can relate to. Science fiction novels mean something to me because they show what could possibly happen in the world but does not happen. Basketball is my favorite sport. This is the sport I enjoy playing the most. The art that I appreciate the most is cartoons. I guess this is because i grew up watching cartoons when i was younger.

Honestly I've never been part of a social movement. No creative view as ever changed my view of the world. When taking this class I hope to learn how Art, politics and protest effects the world that we live in.
