The Ballad of Billie Potts Robert Warren’s poem has a plot encompassing the journey across the land between the seas, traversing between the West and the East in a quest for civilization. The poet contrasts the throbbing metropolis in the East, separated by both distance and civilization from the seemingly primitive West. As the story progresses, Pott’s Inn is revealed to be the boundary between these two parts of the country, and the Inn gains the appearance of a city in a park when the two diverse regions finally converge and form a united front. Civilization meets primitivity, and the once uncivilized world becomes a “safe wilderness.”

Processes required to maintain a unique style, with the constraints a short song bear, requires the requires creative use of diction, imagery, details, language, and syntax. Through the use of stylistic elements such as imagery, syntax, and details, Joe Hawley reveals a narrative in a perspective that details a romantic betrayal, and how, later shown in the video of this song, this effects the narrator’s judgment of people.

People come and go in life, but eventually, everyone will find the one that stays and makes them happy. The country song “Sun to Me,” by Zach Bryan is about a speaker who has found someone that brings out the best in them, and makes them a happier person.

The brightness in his life. Romeo has no other love, except the one who shines brightest before him. He sees her and he declares: “But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?/ It is the East, and Juliet is the sun” (II, ii, 2/3.) Romeo puts Juliet on a pedestal and quite literally sees her as a glorious light.
The first reason, is figurative language is a key to comprehending a song. Figurative language interprets the main object to emphasize it´s meaning. For example, in Taylor Swift’s Blank Space she uses a simile by saying , “... I can read you like a magazine…”, she is trying to say that she knows what a male’s intention is. She continues interpreting the main object by using the hyperbole “...we’ll take this way too far it’ll leave you breathless or with a nasty scar…”, meaning their love can end in troublesome terms.
This recording is a classic and inspiring example of the sweetness of pop, the passionate vigor of soul, and the groovy feel of R&B. There are many compositional techniques used to convey message in this song. First there is the bass guitar, which provides the melody throughout the song.

Growing up in a society obsessed with the concept of sappy love stories, it is easy to find flaws with the unrealisticness of such accounts of love. Songwriter Taylor Swift contributes to the popular trend of mainstream love stories in her own composition, “Love Story.” Throughout her song, Swift effectively incorporates the use of various figurative devices to relate her own love story with that of the famous Shakespearean lovers, Romeo and Juliet. Swift conveys the strength of her forbidden love, in similarity with that of Romeo and Juliet’s, through the use of metaphors, hyperboles, and allusions. First and foremost, Swift uses clear examples of metaphors throughout her song to maintain the resemblance of Romeo and Juliet’s love story with her own love story.
