Assignment 10: comment on Academic Earth



http://academicearth.org/lectures/american-novel-since-1945-intro



I found a course from Academic Earth, the course is talk about "The American Novel Since 1945". Because I like to read novels very much, I also interested in this topic. The teacher is Amy Hungerford, she is a professor of yale university, she teach English. In this course, she taught about the writer in 1945, the style of novel, and even about history. In this course, you not only study about novels, but also learn more about the history of America.

This is the transcripts of the course:

Assignment 8: My favorite song



Song: When You're Gone
Singer:Avril Lavigne

I Always Needed Time On My Own
I Never Thought I'd Need You There When I Cry
And The Days Feel Like Years When I'm Alone
And The Bed Where You Lie Is Made Up On Your Side
When You Walk Away I Count The Steps That You Take
Do You See How Much I Need You Right Now

[chorus]
When You're Gone
The Pieces Of My Heart Are Missing You
When You're Gone
The Face I Came To Know Is Missing Too
When You're Gone
The Words I Need To Hear To Always Get Me Through The Day And Make It Ok
I Miss You

I've Never Felt This Way Before
Everything That I Do Reminds Me Of You
And The Clothes You Left, They Lie On The Floor
And They Smell Just Like You, I Love The Things That You Do

When You Walk Away I Count The Steps That You Take
Do You See How Much I Need You Right Now

[chorus]
We Were Made For Each Other
Out Here Forever
I Know We Were, Yeah
All I Ever Wanted Was For You To Know
Everything I'd Do, I'd Give My Heart And Soul
I Can Hardly Breathe I Need To Feel You Here With Me, Yeah[chorus]

Commend:
Avril's song always full of power, this song is fallow this style, but the lyric give us a sad feeling. When I listening this song, I have a special feeling, like all your sad and upset are pass away, the song help me calm down and feel better. Maybe it is Avril's power!
Hope you will like it!
