The narrator is a wealthy king who is used to ruling over others. In the first line of the song Being apart of the monarch, he was born into a life of luxury, never wanting for anything. In the line “One minute I held the key” we see that he once was able to walk with his head held high, holding all the power to do with as he wished. He was the king and, besides God, there was no one above him. By the line “Next the walls were closed on me” the narrator shows lines show exactly how far from grace

Coldplay uses hyperbole to show how the “king” had abused his powers. The text states, “I used to rule the world¨(Coldplay 1). When the poet exclaims how he used to rule the world, he is exaggerating how important he was. Simply because, no

“Now, let’s begin. When you were eight years old, your dad died from a car crash. I asked the police to make a false public record while we searched for the killer in secret, so the person who did it would not get suspicious. Then I became King immediately after they pronounced he was dead.

In “I stop writing the Poem”, Tess Gallagher says, “I’m still a woman/ I’ll always have plenty to do” (line 3-4). She feels a bit overwhelmed and frustrated but still has to do her work as a woman. She has to show and teach her daughter to do so as well. In Julia Alvarez’s poem, “Woman’s Work”, the Speaker asks, “Who says women’s work isn’t high art”, in line one. Alvarez work can be defined as high art because women always tend to do more than just enough and it means more to woman. Both poems connect to each other because they have a big role to play as mothers and they have to do mothers work forever rather its folding clothes or scrubbing the tiles on the floor at their home. They also have their differences but their connection outweighs their differences.

There are many interpretations of the song, but the real meaning is about the Roman Catholic Church and King Louis XVI both having a lot of power, then losing it all. The bass guitarist, Guy Berryman, said that the song is “a story about a king who’s lost his kingdom, and all the albums artwork is based on the idea of revolutionaries and guerillas.” It also foreshadows to multiple revolutions that have happened over the years. The song starts off by saying “I used to rule the world, seas would rise when I gave the word,” meaning he was once a king who had a tremendous amount of power. “One minute I held the key, next the walls were closed on me, and i discovered that my castle stands upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand. (9-12)” means that all of the power he had took control of his mind, making him do a lot of things he never should have, causing his reign to

The king sets down his empty goblet on the table behind him and places both hands on Prince David’s shoulders. He squeezes it, trying to maintain his balance on his wobbly legs. “The events of this night have reminded me of the words my father said to me—the same words his father said to him—and his father before him, and so on. It is about the burdens we as rulers must face when we begin our reign,” he slurs. His eyes are glassy and red from the stress of battle, partying, and his many sleepless nights. “‘Son, there will come a day when your reign will be

One day when the voices were particularly harsh, the king’s wife Tira noticed that he was acting strangely. She said, “What is troubling you, my King?”

“People of England,” proclaimed the queen, “It is said in writing and words that my son will rule and conquer. That he will be a righteous man to his people, and will treat all with respect. I present my son, heir to King Joel the Great.”

I know him. That can’t be. That’s that little guy who spoke to me all those years ago. What was it, eighty-five? That poor man, they’re gonna eat him alive!”. The tone that is displayed in this line, which would also correlate to it’s punctuation and sentence pattern, blatantly shows how King George acted very condescending, superior, and conceited.
