The Tables Turned

The Tables Turned - A Poem by William Wordsworth

The Tables Turned
(An Evening Scene on the Same Subject)

Up! up! my Friend, and quit your books;
Or surely you'll grow double:
Up! up! my Friend, and clear your looks;
Why all this toil and trouble?

The sun, above the mountain's head,
A freshening lustre mellow
Through all the long green fields has spread,
His first sweet evening yellow.

Books! 'tis a dull and endless strife:
Come, hear the woodland linnet,
How sweet his music! on my life,
There's more of wisdom in it.

And hark! how blithe the throstle sings!
He, too, is no mean preacher:
Come forth into the light of things,
Let Nature be your Teacher.

She has a world of ready wealth,
Our minds and hearts to bless
Spontaneous wisdom breathed by health,
Truth breathed by cheerfulness.

One impulse from a vernal wood
May teach you more of man,
Of moral evil and of good,
Than all the sages can.

Sweet is the lore which Nature brings;
Our meddling intellect
Mis-shapes the beauteous forms of things:
We murder to dissect.

Enough of Science and of Art;
Close up those barren leaves;
Come forth, and bring with you a heart
That watches and receives.

SPECS AND SLIMS

Subject matter

The subject matter of this poem is that Wordsworth is trying to convince either a split personality or a friend to go outside and experience the beauty of nature. His friend/personality is clearly someone who lives in books stated by “Up! up! my Friend, and quit your books;” but Wordsworth is trying to convince him to put them down.

Purpose

The purpose of this poem is that Wordsworth is trying to convince his friend to go out and see the beauty of nature. I believe that this friend symbolises the human race and how they are destroying the earth with the industrial revolution.

Emotion

- excitement as he is trying to make going outside seem fun to his friend

- awe and amazement at the beauty of nature

Craftsmanship

- Structure

…

- Language

Rhyming and the use of unusual words to create a sense of mystery and excitement. Almost mystical in his language choice. Refers to ‘Nature’ with a capital because he is referring to it as a deity.

- Imagery

Strong, lots of metaphors and lots of unusual adjectives. Such as “Spontaneous wisdom breathed by health, Truth breathed by cheerfulness.”

- Movement

Rhyming helps the flow. It flows well.

- Sound

Little assonance, every second line rhymes.

Summary

Setting the Scene through Language Choices

Tonight's homework is fairly simple, in that it requires you to go back to the Prologue of Alice Pung's Unpolished Gem and write a paragraph that discusses how the author utilises language choices to construct the colourful atmosphere of the market and the interaction between Alice's father, the stall holders and other customers. In your paragraph, you should aim to explore how Pung positions the audience to view the market place and its customers though her use of language. Your paragraph needs to be proof-read and edited before you place it on your blog and the task must be completed by tomorrow's lesson.

The prologue for Unpolished Gem utilises many different language choices to construct the colourful atmosphere of the market. She uses descriptive language, metaphors, similes and many more. Her descriptive language is interesting though; her word choices are not normally the kind of works you would use to describe something. By doing this she has created a very convincing picture of a foreigner in a new land. “When they haggle over the price of trotters, there is much hand gesticulating and furrowing of brow because the parties do not spick da Ingish velly good.” The significance of this quote is that it is showing us the strange but successful way Pung has used slang to help set the scene of a foreigner in a new land.

Journey Through Memory

I don’t know how this memory started. It seems to only have a middle and an end. All of a sudden I’m in the middle of the pathway walking down a dimly lit street with trees lining the right side. I vaguely remember my friends are walking in front of me but I don’t know who they are, only that they are my friends. It is raining and I’m wearing a black party dress and dominatrix style heels. My feet are killing me and I’m cold. It smells like rain on hot concrete which is strange because its night and very cold. Even though it’s dimly lit I can make out the holes in the pathway and the little green weeds sprouting through. The street lights are orange and only occasionally a car goes by. I heard a rustling and as I turn around my dress flaps around my knees. There is no one there. “The wind”, I say to convince myself. I hear the noise again and this time I see a dark figure hop into the trees. I hurry to catch up to my friends but they seem so far away. I run but the pathway stretches out in front of me and all of a sudden the figure is in front of me. He is wearing all black clothes and he’s quite tall. He is looking down and his hood is up so I can’t see his face. He slowly looks up and as his purple eyes meet mine. The world goes black and I crumple to the ground.

My Journey

I wake up, something is different. It takes me awhile to pin-point what it is but when I do I realise it’s raining outside. I get up and stretch to the sound of water gently trickling out of the drain beside my window. It is relaxing, it makes me want to go back to sleep but sadly I cannot I am on a tight schedule. I look around my room, everything is grey and blurry I haven’t got my contacts in yet. I slowly make my way to the bathroom crashing into door-nobs along the way. It is in there I experience my first colours. I steadily put my contacts in feeling the soft edges blanket my iris. I blink and a world of colour is refocused in front of me. I wash my face, realising I should of put my contacts in later as I get soap in my eye. I drowsily make my way back to my room. I put my uniform on deciding whether to grab a jumper or not. I do anyway realising its better to be safe than sorry. I grab my already packed bag and drag myself into the kitchen to make coffee. It tastes bitter, sweet, strong, just how I like it. I feel energised and ready after my first cup. I say goodbye to the supervisor and make my way downstairs. The door is on green, yes, I made it in time. I open the door to the sweet smell of rain. It is dripping from the roof and from the leaves as I make my way across Boarder’s Quad. I enter the day school. I look around me, I see a peppy blonde girl talking to her friends. I cross paths with a sullen girl listening to her iPod trying to drown out her thoughts. I walk past a small girl reading under the balcony, she looks up at me with sad eyes. I run into my friends, they have new gossip, new news. I listen patiently with wide eyes and a wider smile. Waiting to tell my own stories my own jokes, but I run out of time as the bell rings. I run up the stairs two at a time so I am not late for form, entering my room just as my name is called out for the roll. I sit down in my chair and school begins.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening – Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village, though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sounds the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

1. List all the things that Frost sees. Rank them in the order that you would find them attractive.

From most attractive to least attractive.

- Frozen lake

- Dark evening

- Woods

- Little Horse

- Village

- House

- Harness bells

2. What are the images and ideas that Frost reflects upon when he has stopped?

He is reflecting upon the thoughts of his horse, and he is giving his horse thoughts and feelings it wouldn’t usually have. About how his horse “must think it queer”.

3. Imagine that you are Frost. Write what you would say to your wife when you returned home from your journey.

Do not understand.

4. Is there a deeper meaning to the poem? What do you think it is?

I believe there is a deeper meaning to this poem. The last two paragraphs are referring to how he wants to be alone but he simply can’t because “But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep”. I also believe this poem is about the desire to explore the unknown “To stop without a farmhouse near between the woods and frozen lake, the darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake to ask if there is some mistake.”

5. Comment on the use of three poetic devices in the poem. (Especially the use of rhyming and repetition in the last line).

The three poetic devices used in this poem are rhyming, repetition and imagery. The use of rhyming helps with the flow and makes it easier for the reader. The use of repetition in the last two lines is helping the reader understand how important that statement is. Frost uses imagery in this poem to help understand what is going on and to help the reader picture everything.

6. The poem draws attention to two conflicting desires: the desire to be alone and to explore mysterious, challenging or even dangerous places, thoughts or objects, and the desire to a sociable person who responds to the company of others. Trace these ideas through the poem.

The desire to be alone and to explore is evident through “He will not see me stopping here” the significance of this is that Frost is talking about a mysterious ‘he’ and how Frost is trying to get away and explore. “To stop without a farmhouse near” is signifying his need to be near others and his desire to be social.

7. What aspects of the journey are being emphasised?

When he stops and starts his journey again.

8. Explain why this poem does or does not appeal to you. Justify your answer with quotes from the poem.

This poem appeals to me as I can relate to the author needing to be social but also wanting to explore the unknown. “The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep” signifying his need to explore but also his need to be social and be on his way.

Communication in the Capulet family: argumentative paragraph

Juliet would not have been forced to take such drastic action if she simply communicated with her family. Ultimately, Juliet, her mother and her father needed to sit down and have a nice long talk.

Romeo and Juliet, the story of two star-crossed lovers, wouldn’t ultimately be different if Juliet had communicated with her family about her love for Romeo. In act 3 scene 4 when Capulet proposes Juliet’s hand in marriage to Paris, both Capulet and Lady Capulet do not know of Juliet’s love for Romeo. When Lady Capulet speaks to Juliet about the marriage she cries “Now, by Saint Peter's Church and Peter too, he shall not make me there a joyful bride” (III, v, 116-117). The significance of this quote is that she would rather die then marry Paris. Later in act 3 scene 5 she tries to reason with Capulet in which he replies “Graze where you will you shall not house with me… And you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets” (III, v, 188-192). Capulet threatens to throw Juliet onto the street and watch her either die or become a prostitute, if she doesn’t marry Paris, he also hits her. Now imagine what he would do to her if she came to him saying that she had gone behind his back and married the son of his enemy. He would probably kill her instead of letting the streets do his dirty work.

The Sun. The Moon and The Stars

Throughout Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare makes effective use of imagery that is related to the sky. This imagery helps the audience gain a greater understanding of the characters and central themes. A significant quote from the book explaining love is; “The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars, as daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven”(II, ii, 19-20). The importance of this quote is that Romeo is explaining about how he sees Juliet as bright and star-like. This is significant as Romeo refers to himself as darkness earlier on in the play. This quote ties in with the theme that Juliet, with her love, brings Romeo to the light. Another central theme being discussed in this quote is that everyone’s lives are written through-out the stars. “Is it even so? Then I defy you, stars!” (v.i.24). This quote is explaining how Romeo thinks that everyone’s destiny is in the stars and how he is trying to defy his fate and change it.

Juliet's character profile

How would you describe this character's personality?
I would describe Juliet’s personality as gentle, caring and a little passionate.

How is this character viewed by other people in the play?
Juliet is viewed at the only Capulet heir and the young Capulet lady.

What relationship does this person have to others in the play?
Juliet has a passionate and loving relationship with Romeo. She has a loyal relationship with her mother and father. She has a more intimate relationship with her Nurse though who has raised her from the moment she was born. Juliet’s mother was not as much in her life as the Nurse whom she confides in about Romeo. She has a relationship with Tybalt who is her cousin, however when Romeo kills Tybalt she is far more concerned about Romeo being banished compared to her cousin dying.

What does this character's main role seem to be?
Her main role is Romeo’s love interest. She is meant to be marrying Paris but decides to marry Romeo instead. Her love life is the main plotline of the story. She doesn’t involve herself in any of the fights and is really calm. She is a calm person and her main role is to solve her problems.

Are there any specific themes that you can identify that are linked to this character?
Definetely Love and only love. She doesn’t really show hate as she is too nice. Even when romeo kills tybalt she only feels love for romeo and does not really think about tybalt and hate is never really shown from her point of view. The only time is when the Nurse isn’t telling her about what Romeo has said and then she gets a little bit angry.

Romeo's impulsivity

Romeo is an impulsive character and his actions are influenced by his emotions. A good example of his impulsivity is when he kills Tybalt after Tybalt kills Mercutio, his best friend. “Now, Tybalt, take the villain back again, that late thou gavest me; for Mercutio's soul is but a little way above our heads, staying for thine to keep him company: Either thou, or I, or both, must go with him.”(III, i, 116-120). This quote happens just after Mercutio dies from the fatal stab from Tybalt’s sword and Romeo is furious at the death of his best friend. In his rage he proposes a duel with Tybalt and in his fury he kills Tybalt. This quote is significant as it shows that Romeo is so bound by his emotions that he cannot control himself. Another example of his impulsivity is when he goes to Friar Lawrence and he gives him this advice: “wisely and slow, they stumble that run fast.” The significance of this quote is that Friar Lawrence thinks that Romeo will ruin things if he doesn’t take it slow. Shakespeare uses a technique called foreshadowing, in this instance to show the reader that something tragic is going to happen to Romeo and Juliet.

Respect your elders!

The family elders in the Capulet household are supreme. Tybalt learns this at the party when he is verbally abused by Capulet for saying that he should start a fight with Romeo. “this trick may chance to scathe you, I know what. You must contray me!...Be quiet, or… for shame, I’ll make you quiet what!" This quote is significant in that it makes Tybalt very angry to just sit and watch Romeo at a party at his house and he cannot do anything about it, he vows to get his revenge later, “I will withdraw, but this intrusion shall, now seeming sweet, convert to bitt’rest gall.” The Capulet family elders are the most important in the house and hold absolute power.

Benvolio Character Profile

How would you describe this character's personality?
Benvolio is a wise character. He is similar to Romeo in the fact that he is conservative and doesn't try to start fights. He is different from Romeo in the fact that he is not a fool of love. Benvolio is always there for his cousin and on countless occasions he helps keep Romeo stable.
How is this character viewed by other people in the play?
Benvolio is viewed as a wise and kind person who is very knowledgeable.
What relationship does this person have to others in the play?
He has a close relationship to Romeo and he acts similar to a mentor." Tell me in sadness, who is that you love?" (I, i, 190). This quote is showing how much Benvolio helps Romeo through his obsession with Rosaline.
What does this character's main role seem to be?
To help Romeo and act as a friend to him.
Are there any specific themes that you can identify that are linked to this character?
His choice of words and that he is always there for Romeo.

Romeo Character Profile

How would you describe this character's personality?
Romeo is a person who seems to fall in love with the wrong girls, and when he falls; he falls hard. His first love is Rosaline, it is a love which is unrequited."This love I feel, that feel no love in this" (I, i, 172). This quote shows us that Romeo feels helpless when it comes to his love for Rosaline. His love for her is more based on looks then personality and his idea of her. Romeo is a bit of a fool. He is unrealistic and a hopeless romantic. He is very conservative and doesn't really like to fight. He is best friends with Mercutio. During the beginning of the book he is depressed by the thoughts of his unrequited love for Rosaline.
How is this character viewed by other people in the play?
Romeo is viewed as a nice, handsome young man by the citizens of Verona. He is viewed by Benvolio as his foolish cousin and Juliet views him as a handsome young man. Mercutio views him as his conservative best friend. His parents view his as extremely sad. "Shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out... black and portentous must this humor prove." (I, i, 130-132). The significance of this quote is to demonstrate the link between depression and darkness. This is more important later on when he compares Juliet as 'the light'. He is hated by the Capulets.
What relationship does this person have to others in the play?
He has a very hateful with the Capulets particularly Tybalt. Romeo has an estranged relatioship with his parents. He has a playfully antagonistic relationship with Mercutio. Romeo has a close relationship with Benvolio and his relationship with Juliet is passionate and intense. "It is my lady, O it is my love" (II, ii, 10). This quote is showing the signicicance of Romeo's love for Juliet, he has only known her for a short time and yet he loves her.
What does this character's main role seem to be?
He is one of the central characters, the play doesn't exist without him.
Are there any specific themes that you can identify that are linked to this character?
His character follows the theme that he is a romantic and throughout the play he is identified with love sonnets. "My lips, two blushing pilgrima, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss." (I, v, 94-95). The significance of this quote is that it is one of the many love sonnets that Romeo and Juliet share throughout the play.

Romeo and Juliet diary entry

Dear Diary

I know I shouldn’t have but I did. Diary, I snuck out to Valerie’s party and I met a guy there. He was sweet, kind and gorgeous. But he’s 25. As you know I am 17. He kissed me and it was the most amazing experience of my life. But we can’t be together. My parents found out that I kissed a 25 year old guy and they said that if I ever see him again they’ll disown me. Diary I don’t know what to do! He is only 8 years older, its not that much. My parents are 10 years apart, For Christ's sake! I think I love him but I don’t know if I should risk upsetting my parents. Oh Diary! Why is life and love so difficult!

Taylor Swift's - Love Story, discussing its relavance to Romeo and Juliet

Outline the subject matter of the poem?

The subject matter of this poem is that a young girl falls in love with a boy and her parents are forcing them apart. After much pleading on the boy’s behalf the parents, especially the dad, give in and let them get married.

Why is the poem entitled “Love Story”? Use evidence from the lyrics to support the titles significance and relevance.

It is titled “Love Story” because it is the story of love between two characters. “I talked to your dad, you'll pick out a white dress. It's a love story, baby, just say yes”.

Describe the relationship between the two characters. Who are they?

They are people who met at a party and they fall in love. Her dad is making him stay away but they sneak out. I guess you could say they have a secretive relationship.

What evidence is there to suggest that these lovers have to overcome obstacles in their relationship?

The dad is forcing them to be apart. “And my daddy said stay away from Juliet”. But they met secretively. “This love is difficult, but it's real”.

What themes and issues are explored in the lyrics and through the video clip?

The difficulty of love and how parents can effect the relationship.

How does the “Love story” end for Romeo and Juliet in the song? Is this how it ends for the Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet? Why does Taylor Swift end her song this way? What perspective is she writing from and why would they want the story to end this way?

Taylor Swift is writing it from “Juliet’s” point of view and in “Love Story” it ends with them getting married but in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet they both die. Taylor Swift most likely ends it this way so that it isn’t a tragedy but a romance.

Femininity in the Devil Wears Prada

In the film The Devil Wears Prada femininity is represented through the use of fashion, attitude and the ability to succeed. It can be clearly seen in two of the films principal characters Miranda Priestly and Nigel. Femininity in the film is portrayed through a range of characters and film techniques, including tilts, pans and camera angles. Miranda represents femininity through fashion, make-up and power where as Nigel represents it through his fashion, personality and behaviour. Nigel is the art director of runway, he looks after the fashion articles and photo- shoots. Miranda is the editor in chief of Runway and she is at the top of the fashion industry. Nigel and Miranda’s jobs are very dissimilar; Miranda is the top of the hierarchy and Nigel rests below her. This one makes Miranda superior to Nigel and two shows the diversity in their jobs.

The film demonstrates that an important part of femininity is a person’s attitude. Nigel is an obvious example of this. He shows femininity through his attitude and personality. Nigel shows femininity through his attitude, especially in the way he talks. An example of this is during the movie he says “wake-up 6!” Which is an insensitive fashion insult because, “size 6 is the new 14”. This demonstrates that Nigel has a judgemental attitude when it comes to fashion and Andy. Another way in which he represents femininity is through his creativity and artistic talent. He is head of the art department at Runway and he organises all of the photo shoots. He adds his flair to the way he dresses the models and the way he organises the artistic area of the magazine. This shows that his dedication towards fashion is feminine.

Miranda represents femininity through her knowledge of the fashion industry and her high fashion clothes and designer cosmetics. This is the reason why she is impressed when Andy changes her wardrobe to become more feminine. Miranda lives for fashion and designer accessories. During the film this is evident when she is explaining to Andy her knowledge of the fashion industry and why she wears her lumpy blue sweater. “That sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean… and in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns… And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers… that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry.” This quote demonstrates her complete knowledge of fashion and the industry in which she works. If Miranda did not know about the fashion industry she would not be seen as feminine, as the industry in which she works is feminine. She also represents femininity through her clothes and fashion. Many examples of this are strewn throughout the movie, such as; on Andy’s first day at work.

During the film both Nigel and Miranda represent femininity, in similar and different ways. In the film there are very little similarities between Miranda and Nigel however they both share the love of fashion and the sense of belonging they receive from working in the industry. Many differences separate Nigel and Miranda, from her superiority to his inferiority. His femininity is portrayed through his character’s personality and behavior. Examples of this are scatters throughout the film such as; when he says “We have to get to the beauty department, and God knows how long that's going to take.” Miranda’s femininity is reliant upon material items, such as designer accessories, cosmetics and clothes. These material possessions helped Miranda into the position she is in today. Without her accessories and clothes, nobody would have noticed her. These two different types of femininity are vastly different but help make the character’s personas complete. The film techniques in the movie are mainly in favor of Miranda as she is more powerful then Nigel, examples of this include that the camera is tilted up towards Miranda and down towards Nigel when they are together. Miranda is also the most dominant person in the shots. She is the most focused on, everyone else is in the background.

In conclusion femininity in the Devil Wears Prada is represented through many different areas. One way, Miranda’s way, is through high fashion, designer cosmetics and accessories. Another way, Nigel’s way, is through attitude, personality and behavior. A person’s persona. Film techniques and characters help portray these types of femininity throughout the film. The Devil wears Prada is a prime example of how femininity is not just about being a woman.

Metrecal

The way that femininity is being presented in this advertisement is that you have to be thin to be feminine. This advertisement, called Metrecal, is about a weight loss drink and how it is “the most convenient way to lose weight safely”. Metrecal also shows that it can be social to lose weight as the drink “fits into your way of life.” This quote also shows that by losing weight your social life will soar and so you will have less time to eat. The images that are shown are of the drink being opened and poured into a chilled wine glass. The hand holding the glass is also perfectly manicured with pink nails. This could be representing how women should always look good. This article comes from a woman’s magazine and so this is pointing out that only women are overweight and not men. This article shows to women everywhere that to be social you have to be thin.

Empathy Exercises

Imagine you are Andy and you have just found out that you are going to Paris instead of Emily. You haven't told her yet.

Dear Journal.
Miranda just told me I am going with her to Paris. I am still in shock. I don't know how I am going to break the news to Emily. I feel really bad about her not going, she has been starving herself for weeks. She looks amazing. I still haven’t decided how to break the news to her. Miranda has kind of dumped it all on me, as usual. I have also been made first assistant, which is also pretty exciting. I just don't know what to do. Actually I might call her right now.

Bye, for now journal.

Empathy Exercises

Imagine you are Emily and you have just found out that Andy is going to Paris instead of you.
Dear Journal.
I am so angry today. Life just isn’t fair. What is it about me journal, I starve myself for weeks to go on this trip to Paris and I now find out that Andy is going instead of me!! Miranda is a dragon-lady, well we all know that but this is too far, I have been working here for over 3 years now and Andy got the job only 2 months ago!!!! It is just so frustrating journal, the level of unfairness is unbelievable. I know Miranda would have fired her but that is no excuse. I don't even care that I’m in hospital that's also Andy’s fault I was on the phone to here when I got hit by that stupid car. I AM JUST SO ANGRY. I am so angry that I can see straight and I can even write in you I just getting more frustrated, did u known I have broken my pencil 4 TIMEES!!! ARGH!!! I don't want to hurt you journal so I will write to you again when I have calmed down.

Emily <3

How Women are represented through fashion and self-help magazines

The article in cosmopolitan called 23 ways to fake your weight represents women as fake and not being who they really are. This is partially the media fault. We are shown images of tiny size 0 model s and we want to look like them because they are the ones with the fame and success. The media has helped distort our vision of whom/what is normal. It used to be size 8-10 was normal and healthy now its size 0-4. In this article they talk about Isla Fisher. Fisher is clearly a healthy weight and yet the magazine portrays her as ‘faking her weight’. It also shows you how to do the perfect photo pose to make yourself look slimmer. They use Isla Fisher as the model for the ‘perfect pose’. This article names and shames many stars who may not have looked that good that night the photo was taken but they are still people and on other occasions they may have look amazing. Cosmopolitan and many fashion/self help magazines have distorted our view of what is normal and have cause us to no longer be who we want to be but the fake ‘perfect’ person.

The Way Women are Represented through Song

A Gold Digger is a person who seeks a partner under the guise of a romantic relationship, but only seeks to exploit the person financially. In this song Kanye West is singing about a beautiful woman who he ‘loves’ but “From what I heard she got a baby by Busta, My best friend say she used to f*** with Usher”. This is saying how she is a woman who has been ‘around’ with quite a few famous musicians. In his last verse Kanye raps that “She got one of yo' kids, got you for 18 years, I know somebody payin' child support for one of his kids, And on her 18th birthday, he found out it wasn't his”. He is trying to say that women are cheating liars who only want your money. This corroborates with “She was supposed to buy ya shorty Tyco with ya money, she went to the doctor got lipo with ya money”, which means that she was supposed to buy food and pay for schooling for the child but instead she is out getting plastic surgery with the child support money. This is offensive to women because not every woman is looking for money in a relationship some are looking for romance and companionship. Kanye West’s song Gold Digger is very offensive to women everywhere because they are being misrepresented and are seen to be just Gold Diggers.
