9-11 Literary Devices

419 Words2 Pages

“I don’t feel like I’m/ Getting through to you/ Let me paint this clear…” both music and poetry are used to portray a mood or emotion and most of the time song lyrics qualify as poetry because of the various literary devices used throughout (9-11). The theme says that no matter how bad someone gets and no matter how alone they, there is always someone there who cares about them. The lyrics themselves are very poetic and use many literary devices in order to get the somber feeling across to the reader or listener. The song portrays a character with the self-destructive, tragic flaw of drug addiction. This tragic flaw gives the song a deeper story behind the lyrics.

    In his “9/11 Address to the Nation” the 43rd President of the United States of America, George W. Bush assures that America will not be affected by the unruly and evil attacks carried out on September 11th, 2001. The President drafted this speech to resist the impending fear and questioning that American citizens around the country would soon be consumed by.

As the head of the “brightest beacon of freedom and opportunity” President George W. Bush declares that the United States of America will “remain strong” and appear unaffected as the country continues to build and rebound from the senseless acts of terrorism and hate.
