Girls  Working in Banks
By: karl Shapiro

Girls working I banks wear bouffant hair and shed
In their passage over the rather magnificent floors
Tiny shreds of perforated paper, body flakes.
They walk through rows of youngwish vice-presidents
With faraway looks, who dandle pencils and tend to ignore
The little tigerish lights flashing on their telephones.
When the girls return to their stations behind a friendly grid
They out money neatly or graciously take it,
For not far from them the great interior glow of a vault
Built out of beaten dimes, stands open, shines,
Beaming security without ostentation.
If you glance inside it there’s nothing to be seen
But burnished drawers and poslished steel elbows
Of the great machine of the door. It’s s speckles world
With nobody inside it, like the bestroom in a crate.
The girls change places frequently, moving their own addresses
From Open to close, next counter, or they walk away
With surprising  freedom behind a wall or rise up on escalators
Past aging and well-groomed guards whose pistols seem
Almost a apologetic as they watch people
Bending over Formica stand-up desks writing
With ballpoint pens attached  to rosary chains,
After which the people select a queue in which they stand
Pious, abashed at the papery transactions,
And eventually walk with the subtlest sense if relief
Out  of revolving doors into the glorious anonymous streets.


Loose woman
By: X.J. Kennedy

Someone who well new how shed toss her chin
Passing the firehouse oglers, at their taunt,
Let it be flung up higher than shed want,
Just held fast by a little hinge of skin
Two boys come from the river
                Of underbrush and stooped. One wrecked a pair
                Of sneakers blundering into her hair
And that day made a different sort of catch.

Her next-best talent, setting tonues to buzz,
                Lasts longer than her best. It still occurs
                To wonderhad she been our fault or hers
And had she loved him. Who the bastard was,
Though long tyhey asked and notebooked round about
                And turned up not afew who would have known
                That white inch where her neck met shoulderbone,
Was one thing more we never did find out.

1.) a. Vault-secrets
Paper transactions-people's actions
Anonymous streets-world
b. Catch-discovery of the woman's dead body
Firehouse-men
Notebooked-invistigations
2.) a. The "vault" symbolises the place where people keep their secrets, in the back of their minds. The "paper transaction" symbolises the people's actions, the decisions and maybe sins as it is stated "abashed at the paper transactions. And "anonymous streets" symbolises the worls, since this world is so big, everything is unknown and everyone is strangers. These symbols helped stating similarities of banks and churches.
b. The "catch" symbolises the discovery of the woman's dead body by the two boys, the irony of the situation since they came from the river and instead of catching fish, they caught or saw her body instead. The "firehouse" symbolises men, since most members of a firehouse are men. These helped build the first part of the poem, stating that the woman was a 'liberated' kind of woman liking how men lust for her, as the persona assumes her to be. And "notebooked" symbolises the investigation of the murder. It was said that even though they asked and investigate for a long time they couldn't find any witnesses. These symbols helped construct and giving more meaning to the poem.
3.) Shapiro described banks as the way as they are, it's nature neatly and beautifully furnished place. Having a best service and being a safe place. Banks are important, in any kind of people, from lower classes to higher classes of people. It is where people store and keep there money, their destiny, knowing it is in a secure place.
4.) The person who killed the woman is not specified in the peom but we knew for sure that the person who killed her has lust for her. He woman was killed as the last line stated "that white inch where her nek met shoulderbone".
5.) a. Banks are like churches.
b. Don't easily trust the people around you.

Just Walk Away¬¬- Celine Dion
I know I never loved this way before
And no one else has loved me more
With you I've laughed and cried
I have lived and died
What I wouldn't do just to be with you

I know I must forget you and go on
I can't hold back my tears too long
Though life won't be the same
I've got to take the blame
And find the strenght I need to let you go

Just walk away
Just say goodbye
Don't turn around now you may see me cry
I mustn't fall apart
Or show my broken heart
Or the love I feel for you

So walk away
And close the door
And let my life be as it was before
And I'll never never know
Just how I let you go
But there's nothing left to say
Just walk away

There'll never be a moment I'll regret
I've loved you since the day we met
For all the love you gave
And all the love we made
I know I've got to find the strenght to say

Just walk away
Just say goodbye
Don't turn around now you may see me cry
I mustn't fall apart
Or show my broken heart
Or the love I feel for you

So walk away
And close the door
And let my life be as it was before
And I'll never never know
Just how I let you go
But there's nothing left to say
Just walk away







Just Walk Away
by Celine Dion
The song in titled "Just Walk Away," by Celine Dion is very much in touched with so much emotion. The sadness, regret, and the feeling of losing someone due to so much pain. The song says in this line "So walk away, just close the door and as you leave, I know I'd love you more." The song is really full of regret, the persona in the story is somewhat tired of facing the same situations at all and that she wanted to end it in one time. But the feelings she had for the one she love was never changed. That has been supported by this line on the song, "I know I've got to find this strength to say, just walk away." Perhaps the persona is so much in pain by the troubles and bitter experiences she had with her lover. The pain, the badness she felt in the relationship filled the song with too much emotions. "And let my life be as it was before," this line on the song says that the persona is already exhausted of doing all the efforts and yet nothing change, the same things are still happening that driven her to end the sadness. In discreet, the persona on the song is tired of loving and at the same time hurting herself. The love she feels for her lover is never enough to make her feel always in trouble, as the saying goes, "If you truly love someone, you are willing to set that someone free." Though the woman on the song is so much troubled, she gain the courage and the strength to set the man free despite the love she feels for him.
The song is really full of sentimentality and emotions. The pain is there, the sadness is there, the regret, the passion, and the love at same time. But since the woman thought that the relationship will no longer work, she must have the strength to say to his man, "Just Walk Away."

Voodoo doll
-5 seconds of summer

I don't even like you
Why'd you want to go and make me feel this way?
And I don't understand what's up
And I keep saying things I never say
I can feel you watching even when you're nowhere to be seen
I can feel you touching even when you're far away from me
Tell me where you're hiding your voodoo doll 'cause I can't control myself
I don't wanna stay, wanna run away but I'm trapped under your spell
And it hurts in my head and my heart in my chest
And I'm having trouble catching my breath
Ooh ooh
Won't you please stop loving me to death?
I don't even see my friends no more
'Cause I keep hanging out with you
I don't know how you kept me up all night
Or how I got this tattoo
I can feel you watching even when you're nowhere to be seen
I can feel you touching even when you're far away from me
Tell me where you're hiding your voodoo doll 'cause I can't control myself
I don't wanna stay, wanna run away but I'm trapped under your spell
And it hurts in my head and my heart in my chest
And I'm having trouble catching my breath
Ooh ooh
Won't you please stop loving me to death?
Every time you're near me
Suddenly my heart begins to race
Every time I leave
I don't know why my heart begins to break
Tell me where you're hiding your voodoo doll 'cause I can't control myself
I don't wanna stay, wanna run away but I'm trapped under your spell
And it hurts in my head and my heart in my chest
And I'm having trouble catching my breath
Ooh ooh
Won't you please stop loving me to death?

I think 'Voodoo Doll' by 5 Seconds of Summer, is an extraordinary tune and is extremely successful in passing on their message of a fellow being controlled by the sudden and solid sentiments that he has for a young lady. Like as though he was controlled by the young lady having a voodoo doll that controlled him. Which is a similitude that speaks to the absence of control of the affection he has for the vocalist's better half. This tune is additionally extremely charming to hear and chime in to due to the appealing and energetic song that is joined by the lovely harmonies, including the words associated well by the utilization of the method of sound similarity. Out and out, these variables of the hints of the tune and agreement, the primary message and the effectively picked words breaks even with the tune to be general infectious and enjoyable to listen to additionally powerful in passing on a genuine message and issue of the artist to the audience that can maybe identify with.

The tune 'Voodoo Doll' can identify with the world in light of the fact that individuals who have had involvement in adoration can identify with the band's message of feeling like you can't control love towards a huge other. This idea of getting a handle on of control with the feelings of adoration can be connected with a wild conduct that is accepted to be controlled by a voodoo doll. A man can have a voodoo doll that takes after a man and can have them feel whatever they need them to feel, as indicated by what a few individuals think and accept and what the Voodoo religion accepts. Significant others can identify with the problem that they can't control their emotions to their beau or sweetheart.

The general tune of the verses of the melody and theme is exceptionally infectious and extremely wonderful to listen. In the first verse, it demonstrates the pleasant tune that alternate verses look like - "I don't even like you,/Why'd you want to go and make me feel this way?/And I don't understand what's up and,/I keep saying things I never say." The chorale is an alternate tune and sounds stunningly better than the verses, as tunes are relied upon to in tunes, - “Tell me where you're hiding your voodoo doll 'cause I can't control myself,/I don't wanna stay, I wanna run away but I'm trapped under your spell./And it hurts in my head and my heart and my chest,/And I'm having trouble catching my breath.” The impact of this agreeable tune is that it is less demanding to recollect the critical words and makes the audience need to listen to the melody over and over in light of the fact that it is so charming. I like the sound similarity that shows up routinely all through the melody in the verses and chorale like "And I'm experiencing difficulty getting my breath....Won't you please stop loving me to death?" The impact of this steady sound similarity makes the audience recall the words effectively to chime in to the tune for pleasure and it gives the entire tune with independent verses and tunes all the more a stream and an association in the entire tune.

Clearly the picture that emerges when I listen to this melody is a voodoo doll, and a young lady physically controlling it so as to control the feelings of her beau. Then again only a young lady that the vocalist is truly infatuated with, however has no aim of controlling her beau contrarily to get what she needs and is only simply acting naturally, which can make her sweetheart feel firmly about her. The boyfreind can relate this non-physical and confounding clarification of being "controlled" by her and her affection, to her being in control of a voodoo doll that controls him and his feelings. The impact is the melody is not a picture but rather interestingly, rapidly and viably depicts a picture in every audience that can be translated as a message, which is the objective of an artist composing a tune.
