The theme of my project is Betrayal. Betrayal plays a lot in people lives, for example people may feel betrayed by their lover, their family, even their friends. Betrayal is a feeling you feel when somebody did something bad to you and it is hard for you to trust them again. In my song column a singer named Rihanna wrote and sung a song called “take a bow” in this song she describe how she felt betrayed by her lover, her lover cheated on her and she felt foolish because she really thought that he would never cheat on her and he did and this made her feel betrayed by the person she loved, so therefore she wrote a song about it; in the song she said “Oh, and the award for the best liar goes to you (Goes to you) for making me believe that you could be faithful to me Let's hear your speech out” this is where the pains comes from she was in deep, deep pain she felt like if the person she had strong feelings for lied and cheated on her, then who else had done it ? In my movie section I had pick the movie “Juice” directed by Ernest Dickerson. This movie is set in Harlem, NY where 4 teens best friends live at name Raheem, Q, Bishop, & Steal .these four teens been best friends since they were little kids they don’t even consider their selves friends they consider themselves more like brothers. But all that went down the drain when Bishop shot and killed his best friend Raheem. Not only did bishop killed Raheem he also try to kill Steal to. Everybody felt betrayed because everybody knew that Bishop had did it. Q tried to stay away from bishop because he knew if bishop tried to kill his own best friend (“brother”) then he can kill him to. In my short story section, I did the story called “a rose for Emily” by William Faulkner. In this story there was a woman named Emily Grierson who was lonely all her life; when she was young her father had died and this made her go into a deep depression, because she never went outside and she was just to herself if she needed groceries she would tell her servant toby and he would go and buy what she needed; one day Ms. Emily met the love of her life and his name was Homer Barron he was foreman back in north Dakota, they was going to get married until one night Homer Barron went into Ms. Emily house and nobody ever seen him again. The night they was supposed to get married Homer wanted to leave her so she killed him by Poisoning him with Arsenic, she didn’t want to be lonely and she felt betrayed because once again she loved Homer with all her heart so he just wanted to leave her like she was nobody important so she killed him and sleep by his dead body for years; This is an relation to my poem called “Betrayal” by William Hathaway, in the poem she/he describe how they loved a person for a long time and the person never loved them back, he/she felt betrayed, so he/she left that person. You can be betrayed by anybody, it’s the person you cared and loved about so much that hurts the worst.
