The Cost Of Love. . . . . . . . . Mahmudul Howlader. Baldomero

Seeing this song touches the heart of audiences. This song depicts pain and suffering of Ilse, but at the same time it also indicates about the love of a beautiful girl towards her lover. She inspires her lover and does not hesitate in portraying pain and sufferings of her own life. Ilse has been portrayed in this song as very practical and bold girl who believes in making her present instead of crying unnecessarily about her past.

The third stanza goes on to define the pain, only now in more emotional terms, such as "It hurts to thwart the reflexes / of grab, of clutch" (14-15), as well as the pain of continuously having to say good bye, each perhaps as if for the last time: "to love and let / go again and again" (15-16). These lines reinforce the impression that the first stanza's definition of "to love differently" is in fact an anti-freedom or state of emotional anarchy, now using words like "pester" to describe any separation; the poet is compelled "to remember / the lover who is not in the bed" (16), hinting at obsessive tendencies as being possible components of the relationship. We also learn that she believes love requires work, which she cannot do without her partner's assistance, and that this lack of cooperation frustrates her. She believes this neglected effort is the other party's fault by his failure to do his fair share, thereby leaving her own efforts ineffective, the whole of it characterized as an effort "that gutters like a candle in a cave / without air" (19-20). Her demands of this work are quite broad, encompassing being "conscious, conscientious and concrete" in her efforts and optimistically calling this work "constructive" (20-21) before ending the stanza.

To start off, the first stanza in her song represents a sense of how unavoidable change is and how the confusion of the bond combined with the stress of the blame game can lead to a doomed

“Grenade” by Bruno Mars explores the theme of love being a destructive and violent force. The poem’s speaker conveys that love makes him possessive and leads him to the extreme in wanting to commit self-harm. The use of metaphor suggests that love brings pain and creates possessive behaviour. Through repetition, the speaker portrays the extent of pain he is willing to put himself through due to love. In this essay, I examine the use of both metaphor and repetition to argue that the speaker did not receive the desired love from his loved one which results in thoughts about destruction and self-harm. First, I will share my interpretation of the song and then I will talk about how metaphor and repetition are constructed to emphasize the main idea of the song. Subsequently, I will conclude with how I believe the speaker is perceived to be throughout the song.

The artist wants the audience to feel his substantial affection for Delilah, and how it is unchanging even though they are separated by distance. He appeals to the audience’s emotions of admiration, compassion, and longing for another person. The artist does this by singing about his extensive love for Delilah, which may lead people to think of someone they themselves care deeply about, or an example of love in their life.

The poem’s structure as a sonnet allows the speaker’s feelings of distrust and heartache to gradually manifest themselves as the poem’s plot progresses. Each quatrain develops and intensifies the speaker’s misery, giving the reader a deeper insight into his convoluted emotions. In the first quatrain, the speaker advises his former partner to not be surprised when she “see[s] him holding [his] louring head so low” (2). His refusal to look at her not only highlights his unhappiness but also establishes the gloomy tone of the poem. The speaker then uses the second and third quatrains to justify his remoteness; he explains how he feels betrayed by her and reveals how his distrust has led him

In line 7 (“He isn’t an enemy now”) the speaker is telling herself that she should not be dwelling on the past because her ex can’t hurt her anymore. The “bitch” seems to be doing fine in controlling her emotions until line 9 when her ex-lover asks her: ““How are the children? They must be growing up.” An immediate change of tone occurs here. There is an internal struggle going on between her heart and her mind. The speaker’s mind is telling her to be polite to her ex, forget the past and move on. The bitch’s heart, on the other hand, is keeping her from moving on and causing her to struggle with feelings of desire. This is clear, for example, in lines 10-13: “At a kind word from him... Down, girl! Keep your distance.” The speaker knows that if she accidentally gets to close to this ex-lover by having feelings again, she will only end up getting hurt. Kind words and gestures can often be deceiving and I have learned that unfortunately charming people are dangerous. I have been hurt numerous times by such personalities by only looking at their kind side and ignoring other flaws. The bitch is warning herself to not get caught up in this trap of feelings again.

“From the Intimate Lyrics,” shows a woman crying, but her tears are words from a book. This represents what happened to Montag when he began to read the books and look into the subjects of happiness versus unhappiness. The books open up a door to a realm of feeling and thought for Montag. The woman in Furtado’s piece of art, is crying because of something she read. She too, is feeling from this new realm of words. Both works push through the idea that books show a different world to the reader. To both the woman and Montag, it showed them that what they thought was truth and happiness, wasn’t. Montag loses his wife and job to trying to find happiness, chance society, and protect the books. The woman loses her happiness over what was read to her, hence her crying. From Montag’s journey and the meaning behind “The Intimate Lyrics,” a reader could gather, that books and words written or said can indeed reveal their deepest

This emphasises that she loved him and tried to enjoy every moment with his son. This sentence is very light and gentle, just like a memory. However in the next sentence the speaker uses a word ‘betrays me back’ which suggest that he does not want to remember the past at that certain moment, however the wave-like nostalgia, which was summoned by the sounds of piano, drowns him in the memories of his past which we can see in the lines,

The reason I choose this song because I like this song’s style, simple words but complicated emotion. I first read this song when I was in China during my middle school on our school’s magazine. There is a part called ‘everyday English’. On the magazine, they said the author of this song is Shakespeare. Actually this song comes from Turkey and no one knows who’s author. In the song, the author use Juxtaposition to express his counselor. In literature, juxtaposition is a useful device for writers to portray their characters in great detail to create suspense and achieve a rhetorical

Edna St. Vincent Millay’s “Sonnet IV” follows many of the conventions of the traditional Petrarchan sonnet. It follows the traditional rhyming scheme and octet, sestet structure. However it challenges the conventions of the typical subject of the Italian sonnet, unrequited love. In the octet at the beginning of the poem Millay uses images that give a sense of transience and in the ending sestet of the sonnet she contrasts the sense of impermanence given earlier with the idea that the speaker cannot forget the smiles and words of their ex-lover. This contrast between permanence and transience illustrates Millay’s interest in a fugacious relationship with everlasting memories. After further analysis of Millay’s highly structured rhyming scheme which puts emphasis on the last words of each line. She uses these words to further express her interest in exploring impermanent relationships by using words that are associated with an end or death.

It is very obvious that this song is about a relationship that fell apart, and the two lovers are realizing that even though they miss each other they know that the relationship between them will never be the same again. With the use of tone, sound, imagery and figurative language the song explains how almost is never enough to have a successful relationship. The tone that Ariana and Nathan portray with their voice makes the lyrics even more dramatic and meaningful. This tone was used throughout Ariana Grande’s album as well.

Bruno Mars released his second official single “When I Was Your Man,” to mainstream radio stations on January 15th, 2013. The song featured an emotional piano ballad with lyrics describing the heartbreak and regrets that Bruno Mars felt for letting his love get away. As the song progress, he expresses hope that her new man will give her all the love and attention that he failed to give her. The reason that I decided to choose this song for my final paper is that I believe the lyrics has true meaning and values, describing how I have felt with most of my unscrupulous relationships in the past.

Analyzing the word, "beautiful" in this stanza, one should perceive that she is not actually singing about the outside of her, but what she consists of emotionally and mentally on the inside. She reveals that her thoughts and emotions are of worth and value and they are of her opinion. They are consumed through her, and no one else and if anyone disagrees, she does not take that into affect. Her diction is actually pretty precise. To quote a famous cliché, beauty is not skin deep. She explains that the beauty is the sentiment.

Before the death of the poem’s protagonist, she tells her lover, “Better by far you should forget and smile, Than that you should remember and be sad.” Rossetti uses parallelism to signify the woman’s compassionate attitude towards the male counterpart of the relationship. Even though she is going to leave him, she does not want him to reminisce the depressed feelings of her death. Instead she hopes that the man can move on from her and live a happy life even without her presence. Rossetti also uses an enjambment in the two lines to amplify the woman’s continuous love for the man, thus stating that her love for him will never decline even after her death. Based on the depiction of the woman’s considerate manners to her lover, ‘Remember’ can be seen presenting romantic love in a positive
