Similes In The Song Silgarly Hills

‘I am Malala’ was written from her perspective in a conversional way which allows the reader to connect with Malala thoughts, feelings and beliefs. It also contains dialogue as well to give the reader more insight and it helped to understand the characters emotions in depth. The dialogue was effective to convey the important details of the story without sounding forced or fake.

In The Color of Water James McBride has the tendencies of using similes and metaphors to make his memories more lively. The tone is enlightened because after conducting the interview with his mother his interpretation of her when he was a child has changed and it reflected when he reflects on his thoughts when he was a kid.“My siblings had already instilled the notion of black pride in me. I would have preferred that Mommy were black. Now, as a grown man, I feel privileged to have come from two worlds. My view of the world is not merely that of a black man but that of a black man with something of a Jewish soul.” (McBride 103). As a grown man, I understand now, understand how her Christian principles and trust in God kept her going through

The so called American Dream may never have been real, that is, until tragedies occurred. However impossible it may seem for America to succeed, it always manages to unite. Through the use of comparison in complex similes, encouraging repetition, and personification along with rhetorical appeals such as ethos, logos, and pathos, Anna Quindlen and Abraham Lincoln describe how a divided America banded together in unity after traumatic instances and how a time of despair leads to a united nation.

Homeric or epic similes can be found all throughout The Odyssey written by Homer. A simile is the comparison of two unlike objects using like or as. Homer’s similes are considered to be “epic” because of how elaborate they are to help the audience “feel” and picture a scene. One of the most glorified scenes in The Odyssey, full of epic similes, is when Odysseus stabs the eye of Cyclops Polyphemus. As soon as Polyphemus fell asleep from the over-consumption of wine, Odysseus put his plan into motion to escape the Cyclops’ cave. Courage took over Odysseus and Homer writes:

Norman Mailer, in his article “The Death of Benny Paret” claims that even the strongest person has their weakness. Mailer supports his claim by describing the fight between Paret and Griffith and the unexpected death of a champion. The author’s purpose was to point out that nobody is invincible. Mailer uses his article to appeal to people with the same mentality as Paret by using figurative language, tone, and syntax. Norman Mailer’s use of similes, solemn and disdainful tone, and various syntactical elements in his article, shows that everyone is mortal, and even those who may seem invincible have their breaking point.

This song is also about society being too greedy and never being satisfied with what they have and always wanting more.

Claude McKay was a Jamaican poet who brought hopefulness to the oppressed during the Harlem Renaissance in his poem, “If We Must Die”. McKay experienced the hardships that colored people were going through because of their race and nationality. He believed that the people should fight for what they believe in, even if it seems like a hopeless cause. McKay uses the concept of dying with dignity to persuade his fellow African-Americans that are being oppressed to fight for what they believe in.

The Shires are a country duet from the UK. The members of this duo are Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes. The word "shire" is a term meant to describe a British county. The Shires was created in 2013 and by 2015 they released their debut album “Brave”, which propelled the band in the music industry. The band became the first British country act to enter and place in the Top 10 of the UK Albums Chart. The members, Earle and Rhodes, share the leading vocals, but Ben also brings to the table his piano and guitar playing.

Flores goes on to ask, "Why aren’t we critiquing wealth by taking hits at golf or polo or Central Park East? Why not take to task the bankers and old-money folks who actually have a hand in perpetuating and increasing wealth inequality? I’m gonna take a guess: racism.”; and in layman terms - why not write a song about how 'white people'; because 'white folks' are the ones that cultivate wealth disparity. To extrapolate such assertions is ludicrous because this would mean that the song could be interpreted as an assault on Miley Cyrus' erratic song "We Can't Stop" as Lorde sings "tripping in the bathroom" (Lorde, 2013) which may be referring to "And everyone in line in the bathroom [.] Trying to get a line in the bathroom" (Cyrus, 2013; Ellis, 2013) - where 'line' refers to cocaine. These meritless claims are rampant in the music industry, and function solely to impel controversy and outrage to amass accordance for their elitist

In a society where people of all ages are obsessing over and imitating the rich and famous, the desire to be an individual is neglected. In Halsey’s song “Gasoline,” she comments on the way in which people mimic those around them and deny their uniqueness. Throughout the song, Halsey describes society as a machine. She claims that through her own experiences, she has gained insight into the depressing world of being in the limelight. As a celebrity, she is continually pressured to cover up her differences, but she resists the voices that tell her to adhere to normality. Instead of becoming a puppet that is easily controlled, she embraces her divergence. Halsey uses the song to criticize society for shunning those that do not conform to social

We turn on the TV or log into a social media site, and see fast cars, stacks of money, mansions, and the most exquisite jewels. Get in the car, turn on the radio, and the story continues. The revolution of hip hop has submerged, and brainwashed its audience with this idea that these are the things that we’re supposed to strive to obtain. The belief then becomes that if we don’t have these things, we don’t have happiness. For years, rappers have been painting us this picture through songs, that portrayed a luxurious lifestyle as the key to happiness. In 2014, rap genius J Cole, destroyed the idea that wealth was the equivalent to happiness in his song “Love Yourz”. Cole raps this message in a very beautiful, passionate tone and opens the eyes

typical 1970s American urban ghetto. The lyric was written by Gary Byrd, who spent months on it only to have Wonder call him during the recording with the urgent need for a new verse, which Mr. Byrd provided in about 20 minutes. The song is directed at out-of-touch, and presumably white, fellow citizens who look the other way or even disparage the poor. “Some folks say we should be glad for what we have.’” Meanwhile, families eat dog food while “politicians laugh and drink, drunk to all demands.”

Rihanna and T.I. song “Live Your Life” was based upon haters. People wanted what he had and went the wrong way of getting it. Some of the people hating on him were old friends and/or people he used to hang with, because he didn’t let them stop what he was moving towards. The song stated “you’re gonna be, a shinin’ star, in fancy clothes, and fancy car-ars” meaning don’t focus on the things you don’t have right now, those things are going to come later on in life.

This ‘1992’ urban classic describes the entire day of a young man living in South Central Los Angeles. Ice Cube describes his perfect day: a pork-free breakfast, Yo MTV Raps!, gambling, and a sexual rendezvous. This song describes temporary free time, because it describes a single day and not a lifestyle. None of the lyrics suggest that he has any obligations and he was in a leisure spirit as he was cruising around in his low-rider. Realizing that obstacles that hassle him every other day are not on this particular day; making this a very special period. This song has importance to me because, it lets unprivileged kids know that you don’t have to have it all to have peace and enjoyment in your leisure.
