And she sings it like an answer. People were weeping in the stands, weeping in their homes” (Smith 6). The imagery Smith uses in discussing the Super Bowl performance helps the reader to understand that by truly owning her moment in the spotlight, Houston was symbolically representing the fruit of a centuries-long battle against
The music triggered people’s nostalgia and memory to feel how the character is feeling. Taylor Swift isn't just being used as songs by itself but they also tell a story and they connect to the reader to show you what the character is
The authors use the imagery to further the connection that the reader feels to the narrative, and help the reader be transported into the narrative with the main character. Also, the authors use imagery to communicate what they saw. All the authors show their motion as they are climbing or driving by using imagery. The authors also all show the motion of their travels in their imagery. In each narrative, the main character is moving constantly throughout the book.
Imagery is a way of writing that the author gives you visual descriptive writing or figurative language. One quote that stood out to me was “There would be other Sheila Mant’s in life, other fish, and though I came close once or twice, it was these secrets, hidden tuggings in the night that claimed me, and I never made that mistake again. ”(41) This quote has a lot of meaning in this story
I believe that the fire represents his anger through the dances. Because at first, he didn't want to dance because he would look stupid after a while he started doing it and he began to take his anger out in his dances for instance the anger dance where he was trying to get it to the back of hand punching a tree and saying things like I'm sorry and I forgive you.
Roll of thunder hear my cry Over the water bye and bye Ole man comin’ down the line Whip in hand to beat me down But I ain’t gonna let him Turn me ’round In everyone’s life they have faced a problem they have to overcome.
Imagery is when a person can visualize an image that an artist has sung. We can see imagery throughout this song countless times, but mostly in the second verse. The impact that imagery has on the song is it allows me to use the words to create an image of what the rapper is trying to portray. When including imagery, it allows me to understand what the piece of work is saying. I can imagine Cole hanging out with his friend at the skating rink, hitting on girls, or him keeping his friends newest clothes.
On what was expected to be another day for every American became a burning memory in both Americans and America’s history. September 11, 2001 was the day where fear shook America into recklessly declaring war on terror against Iraq.

The lyrics symbolize how she loved her boyfriend more than he loved her. Swift provides pride in the relationship, while her boyfriend remains unwilling to. She continues to demonstrate the red flag by using apostrophe by singing to the audience, “he’s gonna say it’s love.” (Swift 2021) to directly singing to her ex-boyfriend, “...you never called it what it was…,” (Swift 2021) criticizing him out for never taking the relationship seriously and sincerely as she did. Throughout her song, Swift uses rhetorical appeals of pathos to invoke the emotions she felt through her relationship with her ex-boyfriend and allow listeners to relate to her.
An Analysis of Bruce Springsteen's 'Thunder Road' In everyone's life, at some point in time, there exists a certain, natural craving for something. The longing can only be described as the desire for something more, or perhaps the desire for an adventure. Bruce Springsteen undoubtedly was either at a point like this in his life, or at least had this in mind, when he wrote the song Thunder Road. This is a song that first reads like a scenario playing out between him and a young woman named Mary.
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.
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.
So be who you are, be weird or wonderful, and don’t be ashamed. She uses “firework” to show each person has his own uniqueness. That means to show your special thing out and be proud of yourself. However, don’t feel like you are worthless, nobody can replace you because no one else in the world like you. Katy by using this lyric “ if you only knew what the future holds after a hurricane comes a rainbow” to make us remember after horrible things happen there is something good going to happen.
She uses a metaphor in her song to reveal that no matter what, she will get back up again stronger than ever. In her song, after she feels sad, she says “I will be rising from the ground” (line 12). This is saying that she is getting past her tough times in her life and is finally becoming stronger again and will enlighten people that she will never give up. Moving on, Lovato uses allusion to relate to her theme, she says “All my windows still are broken But I'm standing on my feet” (line 18 and 19). This shows how Lovato is like glass because she was dropped in her past and never recovered, and still is broken, however, she can still handle it due to her strength of believing in herself.
We shouldn’t care what others think of us. We should only care about ourselves and our goals. The song, “Roar,” is about how, if we believe in ourselves and don’t listen to what others say, we are unstoppable, and no one can hurt us. We need to be strong and courageous, and we can’t let others tell us what to do.
