Never Give Me Rhetorical Devices

My story has a meaningful story behind it. The story is deep for me and even for the artist and probably for many other people. Hearing songs like this can inspire you. It inspired me to be thankful for the people in my life. One day they can be here the next they could be gone. You never know what’s going on in their lives.

This song is a wakeup call for America to set a better example for the next generation. People are hurting other people. Some are paranoid of what will happen next. Life should not be scary, but there are people afraid to walk out and be among the chaos. Everybody is against one another, and they are not willing to compromise. “It’s time we stop” and look at what we are doing and what has become of us. There are wars for ignorant reasons, there are people hurting, there are innocent children watching, WAKE UP AMERICA! The riots and wars are not worth all of this pain and suffering.

I chose this song because, in my opinion, it has a good thesis that backs up the song lyrics and it gives you a positive feeling. Basically, the song is telling us to always keep our faith and stay strong no matter what. It encourages people to

When the song came out in 2015, I was in the midst of graduating and truly coming to terms with the person I am. Going through this period of self-realization, the lyrics “You can't rush your healing/Darkness has its teachings/Love is never leaving/You can't rush your healing” (II. 19-22) really went to show me that the hard times I was going through were placed in my way as learning experiences. Listening to the mellow tunes of this song had such powerful repercussion on my mood as well. Not only the content of the words, reassuring me that everything will pass, but the actual vibrations of sound forced me into a meditative/healing state of

This song is a great representation of my friend situation this year. At the beginning of this year, my friend group that was very tight and supportive, split up. Our group got in a fight about including everyone, and ended up splitting in half. This was hard to go through, especially

The message behind this song and music video is one that everyone can relate too. More than likely, we have all lost someone in our life who we truly loved and cared for. Understanding, coping and accepting death would be so much easier if "Heaven wasn't so far away". We all wish we could go see the person we have lost due to death, but as we know once they are gone, they are gone. The message of this song definitely has an uplifting, subliminal message.

Throughout the year I have not only come to have a further understanding of literature and writing, but I have also gained the skill of analyzing works of literature and my own Essays while considering devices. Later in the year we focused on a short story by Mark Twain called The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County; after reading it, we were challenged to analyze the text through our understanding of literary and rhetorical devices.

With its rip roaring beat, tactical lyrics, and powerful message this song is the anthem that Spike Lee was aiming for. It gives context to the scenes and sets the mood for the rest of the film.

I felt this song created a strong message about what can happen to teenaged girls living in harsh conditions without guidance. Someone else’s struggle can affect everyone

The song is slow in tempo and quite melancholy. It’s Structure is simple and gives way for the listener to focus on the words. James Brown vocals are spoken word yet quite rhythmic. Simon frith stated that “The experience of pop music is an experience of identity: in responding to a song, we are drawn, haphazardly, into emotional alliances with the performers and with the performers' other fans.”

The scene that I enjoyed the most was when the main character Magnoli and her daughter were abandoned by the love of her life and she had to find her way to survive. I really like that in that scene they reunited most of the original performers from the boat show. I liked that under pressure she defended the song “Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man”; Song that regardless of the social and racial background meant a lot to her for the emotions attached to the person that taught her the song a – colored woman. Through music and performance the creators achieved a touching effect of emotions mixed with euphoria especially when during New Year’s Eve show she sang the last song of the event with such passion that she made me cry and then smile all in one

It highlights the struggles that are happening for people. There are some great guitar riffs and distortion. It has a verses/chorus composition. The song is a little bit slower to begin, but soon picks up the tempo, it is a great song to sing along because the lyrics are not distorted by the instruments, like you find with some other bands. This song was written by Richie Sambora, Jon Bon Jovi, and Desmond Child.

I really liked this song since covers on a series of important issues (meaning of life, lack of trust in the government, racial injustices, etc.) within radio playtime and while containing to use elements of hip-hop.

The piano playing in this video was fantastic. I was surprised at how well the piano and cello seem to complement each other in this video. The fast tempo of this song kept me very entertained while listening. They didn’t edit this video as much as some of their others, but I enjoyed that they filmed at The Great Wall of China. I thought it was a good choice of scenery for the song. Let it Go was another good video in which The Piano Guys picked perfect scenery to complement their music choice. The all white cello and Piano plus the snowy all white background fit together perfectly. The piano and cello went together very well in this video, but I think the way he played the cello made it out shine the piano during this

When I listen to this song it gives a sense of hope, hope that everything will be alright. The songs sends out a powerful message that anyone and everyone can help and make a difference in the world. The style of this song is so powerful it’s an eclectic style of many incredible genres such as; gospel, rock, hip-hop, R&B etc. many of the famous artists of this song were called the United Support Of Artists for Africa, despite their musical differences came together and created a moving and inspirational meaningful song. That touched millions around the world, even today it’s still an iconic song to plenty such as myself connected to the world through those powerful lyrics, when Jackson wrote, “
