blogger #4 (types of paragraphs)

Description:
                       Ciara's Evolution cd is about life. The different stages we go through as humans. For instance being in love, regardless of our age we've all been in love. Being with someone that either our friends or family didn't approve of. Somebody who just wasn't right for us and all the going back and forth from break ups to make ups. She also introduces the different stages of music. Some party songs, some that relaxes you and make you think about your life, something that you can relate to. Thirdly the different types of dance based on the tempo of the songs. Finally the different styles of fashion. Whether its flash dance, 70's ,90's or 2000s. All of things we do now may seem new to us but its been done before our time.

Informative:  
                        Ciara speaks on personal experiences. She's not afraid to open up to others and let them know what she has been through. As a singer/ songwriter she wants to be able to connect to her listeners. She feels that by telling her story about relationships, she can help some of her listeners deal with the same problems if not similar. She encourages all of her listeners/fans to follow their dreams and do what's best for them regardless of what others may think. By her parents being in the military and giving back to their country Ciara wants to do the same thing rather if its through music or doing charity events.

Persuasive:
                    Few people feel that Ciara's songs are all about not having a man, crying, and feeling degraded but its not. Ciara sings/ writes about things that some rappers/ singers may not want their fans to know about them. Things that they don't want to address because they may still be coping with it. But Ciara feels in order to be a great singer/ songwriter you have to connect with your fans. If listening to her cd makes you cry because you can relate to everything that she's saying then that's fine. You will definetly not be crying alone because she's crying with you as she sings the song and not only that but somebody somewhere else is doing the same thing. Some people see crying as a sign of weakness but crying only makes you stronger, everything is a lesson learned nobody's perfect. No matter how old you are listening to her cd can make you remember things from your past bad or good and its a reflection of the person you are now. Ciara also likes to have fun and loves to dance so she provides you with songs that has beats that you can't help but move and catchy hooks that makes you sing along.

Definition:
                   Ciara falls under R&B, soul, pop, and crunk & b. R&B stands for rhythm and blues, which is like pop music for African americans. R&B lyrical themes often encapsulate the African-American experience of pain and the quest for freedom and joy.[3] Lyrics focus heavily on the themes of triumphs and failures in terms of relationships, freedom, economics, and aspirations. Soul is characterized by an emphasis on vocals, an impassioned improvisatory delivery, it is associated with performers. Pop music is eclectic, and borrows elements from other styles such as urban and dance. Last but not lease is crunk & b, crunk & b originated in Atlanta, Georgia by rappers Lil' Jon and the Ying Yang Twins. In Atlanta they have more of a party mood so they love songs with good beats that they can dance to but still have some kind of meaning that they can relate to.
Introduction:
                          Born on October 25,1985, in Austin Texas, Ciara traveled the world as an only child of military parents. After she settled in Atlanta, Georgia as a teen and watching pop group Destiny's Child on television, she decided that music is what she wanted to pursue. Ciara wrote poems and stories as a young girl but never took it seriously until she joined a girl group called "Hearsay." The group broke up so Ciara used the opportunity to work on her songwriting skills. With influences like Michael Jackson, Prince, and Madonna she leaned towards a soul, r&b and pop genre. In 2003 she had a meeting with producer Jazze-Pha which lead to an immediate signing with LaFace Records. She debut her hit single in 2004 along with an album. At age 18 she was dubbed 1st lady of crunk & b. Ciara wants to change the world. Though she traveled a lot she never wants to forget where she came from and the obstacles that she had to overcome in her life dating rapper Bow Wow. Traveling a lot and making stops in Germany, New York, Arizona, California and Nevada Ciara became interested in learning about different styles of fashion and dances. So she wants to introduce it to the world to let people know that just because we live in a different state/ country we are not that different and that we have more in common then we actually think. The world has given so much to us that we may not realize and appreciate. But once we realize ti we should give back to one another.
