Dj Earworm Poetic Devices

My song utilizes the poetic devices of simile, rhyming, imagery, and repetition like that of “Mrs. Potato Head” by Melanie Martinez. Unlike the other poetic devices, only one simile can be seen, and that’s in lines 8-9. Rhyming, on the other hand, runs rampant throughout the entire piece, only leaving a few small gaps in between. While not as frequently placed, imagery can be seen in lines 2, 11, 14-15, 16-18, 20-21, and 27. Each one of these lines gives you an insight into the troublesome life of the song’s namesake, Our Guardian Angel, whose unfortunate circumstances are purposefully downplayed like that of Martinez’s character, Mrs. Potato Head. In other words, Our Guardian Angel and Mrs. Potato Head are struggling to endure the ignorance

The poem begins with using “melodies” as an image. In the first phrase, “Like melodies draw it to me softly through the mind,” the word “melodies” seems to be symbolic of thoughts or memories. These melodies are like a tune that you cannot get out of your head, a memory that he is unable to forget.

Chances are, you have listened to the radio at some point today. Maybe even right now, you are still humming a song you heard hours ago. You are not alone. Many people today suffer from the same thing you are experiencing. This sometimes annoying experience is called an earworm. The earworm effect is very real.

Literary devices are a common theme throughout the song. For Instance, the first lyric ¨But just like the battle of Troy/ There’s nothing subtle here.” Selena is using a simile to compare her crush for someone to the Battle of Troy. This means that she can hide her feelings for him very well, which leads her to be awkward. The next lyric is “Ooh you’re taking up a fraction of my mind.” A metaphor is used to emphasize how much she can get

In the poem “Forgetfulness” by Hart Crane, the speaker uses similes and metaphors to convey ideas about forgetfulness to develop the theme. The speaker uses these literary devices to convey his ideas about the theme: Forgetfulness is being lost, and having no idea where to go. The author uses many similes to get this idea across, such as,

He’s released at least one single a year for every year since the beginning of his career.  The first single released in 1981, called “Unwound”, is one of the top ten hot country (Taste of Country ).  Strait out of the box (1995) is his highest certified multi-platinum album, which has sold more than 5 Million copies.  Some noteworthy number one hits include Give it away, I saw God Today, Heartland, I Cross My Heart, I Hate Everything, Right or Wrong, The Chair, I am Blue, Baby Blue, Ace in the Hole, Love Without End, Amen, Carried Away, and Run.

In the famous single,“Fireflies”, there are many uses of similes and metaphors to show his vivid dreams when he was young. In stanza 6, Adam Young sang “Cause I feel like such an insomniac”. This is an example of simile, Adam Young is comparing himself to a person who is regularly unable to sleep. In the last stanza,

Figures of speech is present in the sentences 1 and 3 of the first stanza as the lyrics is describing a boring day where you are doing nothing and waiting for the spark to show the direction of your life. The first two sentences are also describing an irony as no time should be a boring moment.

The song, "Funny The Way It Is" by Dave Mattews Band uses many different poetic devices to help aid in the deeper meaning of the poem. The poem is ultimately a paradox, with every statement being contradicted. The singer starts off by rhyming the first to lines to bring emphasis to a happy start. This effects makes the next line two lines, which are contradictory, even stronger. He uses examples of personification and simile, such as ,"somebody's heart is broken."[line12] and "the way your mouth feels in your lover's kiss like a pretty bird on a breeze [line 13/14] to help create a powerful understanding of the emotions involved. The singer uses juxtaposition throughout the poem in lines such as, "on a soldier's last breath, his baby's being

Metaphors are some of my favorite aspects of literature because of how many different ones there are or can be. That and personification. There is definitely some personification is this song. I’ll list some examples: //Cause the dark's not taking prisoners tonight.// //And

There are a total of 1 simile, 1 metaphor, and three hyperboles. The simile “Times Square can’t shine as bright as you” showing to the fact that it’s comparing Time Square and “you” using “as.” The meaning of the simile would be that she is foremost the most important thing to him. The metaphor in this song is “don’t worry about the distance I’m right there if you get lonely give this

You probably know I'm ready to fall cause.” This type of song could be considered a lyric poem, because it shows the author's

It is certainly true that one of the distinguishing features of poetic texts is the use of figurative or non-literal language – this essay highlights the fact that metaphors do contribute to the understanding of a poem. Ted Hughes’ poem, Sketching a Thatcher, is loaded with vivid imagery and ample metaphorical constructions which aids to validate this fact. In order to uncover the message behind this poem, one must take a closer look at the arguments, focus expressions and tenor/vehicle constructions of at least six local metaphorical constructions

Have you ever wondered as you were driving down the road listening to the radio, "How do they do that?" I certainly have, and so for my junior job shadow experience I chose to shadow Mike Shannon from 99.7 WDJX, a very popular radio personality in Louisville, Kentucky. I chose to shadow him because I was interested in how DJs do their job and how a radio station is run. I thought that the job would be fun, exciting, and I thought it would be interesting. Going in to the Radio station I already knew that it was probably a high stress job and that on occasion it was very exciting. Some of the questions I had going into the situation were, what kind of history is behind the radio and radio personalities and what kind of education do you
