She wrote songs and sang them and soon became famous for her work. Her songs are usually about her love life with sad lyrics. She loves to use figurative language in her songs. Since 2008- the present day (2015), people have been listening to her wonderful songs. Two of her most notable songs are: Rolling in the Deep and Set Fire to the Rain.

It is comparing how mad she is about her love life to a fire. The meaning is that she is really angry. Another example from “Rolling in the Deep,” is “turn my sorrow into treasured gold.” It means she wants to turn her depression into happiness. It is a metaphor because it compares her happiness to treasured gold. Idioms are another phases that have a denotation and a connotative meaning. One idiom in her song is “They leave me breathless.” This is an example of an idiom because it means to different things. The denotative meaning would be to have her with no breath. The meaning that is implied and is true is that she can’t believe it and they are amazing. Another idiom is “You had my heart inside my hands.” It is an idiom because you definably cannot put your heart into someone’s hand. She means that he controlled and took her love. An exaggeration is used by everyone. We call that hyperboles. Adele uses a lot of them. An example is “we almost had it all.” People can’t have everything. She means they were close to having a lot of things they wanted. “I’m going to make your head burn,” is a big exaggeration. She wants to make him really frustrated but his head won’t burn from

I chose to read this part from The New Kids by Brooke Hauser since it was quite an impactful part. The larger plot of this book was not focused on simply one main character, but a large array of them. Rather than the students' lives as a whole, it was often of the current events, and the reflections on the events leading up to now. For the most part, this book was on the current lives of the students and what they've gone through to reach their current status in life. This selection fits into the larger plot by being a prime example of what the students of International High School at Prospect Heights may go through to leave for the possibility of a new life or better chances. This particular part gave a look at how desperate many are to leave

He is different from all the other guys that she ever had a bad luck to know, but nonetheless all she wants of him is «a non-pressure bang, once a week, on the sly, with a man who's been through it all and is nicely cooled out.» (p. 40). She plays her role, she satisfies him like no other woman ever before, sho doesn't want anything else from him, no expectations, no feelings, no true relationship, she's becoming his Voluptas.
We generally associate being infected and filled with poison as very bad things, but she’s saying them as a welcome thing, making it an oxymoron, contradicting itself. My second claim is that the lyrics have different types of imagery, as certain lines have visual and touch imagery. A specific line with touch
The first song, Roar, relies heavily on figurative language to deliver its message. The three main types of figurative language the song uses includes Simile, Hyperbole, and Metaphor. The type of figurative language that makes up the largest part of the song is Metaphor. These lines really tell the overall story of this song, which is about someone overcoming the struggles and abuse they have faced in their situation and becoming their own champion and hero. To illustrate, each choir in the song includes the same words;
On July 28th in the evening at home alone, I watched Adele live at Royal Albert Hall on YouTube, which can be found following this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ7bnkVbI88&t=0s.. Adele was born in 1988 in London, and is a well known British singer/songwriter. Adele has released three albums in her career: 19, 21, 25 and Adele has thirteen hits on the billboard top 100 chart as of 2017. Adele started her career in 2006 when a video of hers was discovered on myspace. An influence on Adele’s style of music is Etta James. This performance is before her last album was released and features more of her past relationships in her music, so this concert was not about happy party music, it was a deep soulful experience.
The Weary Blues, written by Langston Hughes and published in 1926, won Hughes his first poetry prize. Hughes is a well-known African American poet who often wrote about the struggles for African Americans during the Harlem Renaissance, he uses figurative language in the poem to describe loneliness and despair, and the relationship between the speaker and performer, in order to make the reader better understand the blues.
Bon Jovi used literary terms like personification when he said “Now he’s holding in what he used to make it talk” with it being a guitar. Where selling the guitar led to depression. Irony when he said “Baby it’s okay, someday”. Connotation when he sings “You live for the fight when it’s

This song is full of multiple literary devices such as hyperboles, metaphors, and imagery. The hyperboles in the song emphasize strong feelings such as love, hate, and pain. For example, “Just [going to] stand there and watch me burn” (Rihanna, 1), is emphasizing that she is in extreme amounts of pain and all that her significant other is doing, is watching her suffer. “You ever love somebody so much you can barely breathe when [you are] with [them]” (Eminem, 33), emphasizes and how he is so in love with
Rihanna states that a man wants to "lick the icing off", using cake and eating as metaphors for sex. Moreover, in the example 4, blowing candles out could be a metaphor for an orgasm.
