In the song “S.O.S” similes are used often. There is one used in the following line,”now my heart's in two/ And I can't find the other half/ It's like I'm walking on broken glass.” Obviously, the speaker didn’t go walk on broken glass because of a broken heart. Also, a heart can not literally break in half because someone broke up with you, like the song says. Symbolism helped create an even better picture of this song. Give further

I always believed it was just a way to say bye to someone, but alyzing this song gave me the true meaning of finding the good in the bye. Finding the good in goodbyes is harder than it sounds. You have to find the good when you say goodbye in order to really really accept it and more importantly, appreciate it. If you say a goodbye and you know it is going to be final, what you do to make sure you really appreciate that moment? You look back one last time to take a picture in your mind of that person or that place and that moment, that is putting the good in goodbye.

Symbolism is a pivotal inclusion to any prominent poem or story. For example, in Edgar Allan Poe’s renowned poem “The Raven”, the raven symbolizes death and loss (Poe). This symbolism allows readers to connect with the raven on an emotional level and better visualize what is occurring in the story.

The use the sea, birds, and cigars as symbols is crucial to the significance of the story.

The line “tears come streaming down your face” emphasizes the greiving as people will cry and feel misery from losing someone close to them. He then goes on to say “When you lose

When Taylor writes, “Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind?” Taylor wants to compare the emotions he’s feeling as if he’s having a bittersweet reunion with a long-lost friend.
