Symbolism: Activity #1 January 2016 (Value: 100 points)(1 Grade)

• Theme : Literary Devices
• Sub-theme: Symbolism
• Activity:#1- Second Semester (January-2016)
• Instructions: 
• 1-Look for the Song With Arms Wide Open by Creed or any other Creed song. You can choose any song for the activity that can be used on this work.

• Example:Bob Marley and The Wailers  "I'm Hurting Inside"

• Background information:

   

  According to the movie Marley, Bob instructed the band to play the same song over and over—"I'm Hurting Inside," a plaintive, little-known late 60s Wailers cut that spoke to the pain in the 35-year-old man's body and soul.

  He never performed the song during his final concert, which is captured on the live album Live Forever. Apparently Bob was just feeling this song that day for deeply personal reasons. "When I was just a little child, happiness was there a while," he sang. "But for me it slipped one day. Happiness come back I say..."
• On September 23, 1980, Bob Marley performed the last concert of his life in Pittsburgh, PA. Suffering from terminal cancer, the Tuff Gong was not expected to live much longer. Still he rehearsed relentlessly before that last show as usual—but this rehearsal was a bit different.
• Bob Marley – I'm Hurting Inside Lyrics

  When I was just a little child (little child)
  Happiness was there awhile (there awhile)
  And from me it... it slipped one day 
  Happiness come back I say
  
  Cause if you don't come
  I've got to go looking
  For happiness
  
  Well if you don't come
  I've got to go looking
  God, for happiness, happiness
  
  Say that
  Say I'm hurting
  And it's no sense
  I'm hurting, I'm hurting
  Deep inside
  Oh good god now
  
  Oh hear my cry, hear my cry
  Yeah my my my my my my my cry
  
  Been together like school children (school children)
  Then you hurt me just in vain (just in vain)
  Oh, Lord, I'm your weary child
  Oh, happiness come back awhile
  
  Cause if you don't come
  I'm gonna go looking
  For happiness (the road is dangerous)
  I've got to go looking
  For happiness, happiness
  
  Said I'm
  Don't you know I'm
  I'm hurting, hurting inside
  Oh I'm hurting 
  Who cares
  Who cares
  
  Does the one who love, oh
  Feel the pain
  Feel the pain
  
  Does the one who love
  Feel the pain
  Feel the pain

Journal Entry # 4 Why do people seek power?

Journal Entry # 4
Theme: Why do People seek power?

During William Shakespeare's lifetime, there were frequent struggles for control in and around the court of Elizabeth I  and her successor, James I. In turn, many of Shakespeare's plays dealt with themes of political conflict and struggle to achieve balance between power, justice, and legitimate authority in society.
What is so attractive about power?
 Is it worthwhile objective, or does power inevitably corrupts people?
