Activity 3 Mini Project/Lap 9


I chose the songs, when will we be paid by Playing the staple singers, 1971 and you are a tourist by Death Cab for cutie. When will we be paid by Playing the staple singers is about negro’s giving their blood, sweat and tears and getting nothing in return. It’s about slavery, the unfairness of the nation and the wrongs of the whites. You are a tourist by death cab for cutie is about not letting the doubts in your mind turn your rights into wrongs. About not letting society or the place you live affect you.

            Both songs, when will we be paid by playing the staple singers and you are a tourist by Death cab for cutie are about feeling unwelcome in your home, being treated unfairly and doubted.  They both symbolize feeling unwelcome in the place they’re in and not being proud of where they are living.
