Title: Squid Game

Date: September 17, 2021

Artist: Hwang Dong-hyuk

Medium: film, technological tools, actors and actresses, and staff.

Analysis: It is inspired by traditional Korean children's and international games such as tug of war. It is an action-based series wherein the twist is that if you were to be eliminated in the game, you would be taken out in real life.

Lesson: It allows us to be lenient because all of the games are time-based and allow us to get creative and enhance not only our critical thinking skills but also other. practices that are needed to survive.

Title: The Man

Artist: Taylor Swift

Date of Release: 2019

Album: Lover

Medium: Song

The song is written about sexism in society. Where naturally women are disadvantaged as they are expected to do less and have a lot of unnecessary expectations put upon them unlike men.

For example:

They'd say I hustled

Put in the work

They wouldn't shake their heads and question how much of this I deserve

What I was wearing

If I was rude

Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves?

White Ferrari by Frank Ocean

Released: 2016

Medium: Song

Album: Blonde

What is it about?

This song particularly tackles grief and the innocence and purity of a relationship.

The writer used some metaphors in the song as well. The lines stating changes in one's features may mean that the person felt like they could not be fully honest in their life and with their person and that they tried to be someone they weren't.

One too many years
Some tattooed eyelids on a facelift

Lines in the song, such as this one, talk about how even though the two people have already parted ways, they will still care for each other forever. The person is grateful that they got to spend time with that person as their passenger in that white ferrari, no matter how little or how much time they had.

I care for you still and I will forever
That was my part of the deal, honest
We got so familiar
Spending each day of the year, White Ferrari
Good times
In this life, life
In this life, life

The whole song has a very slow, calming, and nostalgic melody that gets everyone in their feels. With the lyrics and melody together, you feel like you are living the story of the song.
