    My favorite song is “The Weekend” by an artist named SZA. The song is overall about SZA explaining how she knew and was willingly having an affair with a guy, that she would only see on the weekends, because he has a girlfriend. However, the overall purpose of the song, was to inform the listeners of how she finds pleasure in this wrongful doing. Within the song, the 3-three literary devices conveyed, which helped get the main points across are Metonymy, Visual imagery, and Paradox.

  • Theme Of Choices By Nikki Giovanni

    142 Words  | 1 Pages

    The theme of “Choices” by Nikki Giovanni is that she has to make do with what she’s got. For example, in the poem, it states,” since i can’t go where i need to go then i must go where the signs point,”(Page 195). This connects to our theme because she has tried to do what she wants, but each time, she gets drawn back so she tries to make do with what she has. Another example would be when the poem says,” when i can’t express what i really feel i practice feeling what i can express,”(Page 195). This is relevant to the theme because she is not allowed to express her real feelings so she tries to express the ounces of happiness she has.

    Another set of lyrics from the song that ties in with Waverly and her quest to stardom would be the opening lines. “Rising up, back on the street, Did my time, took my chances, Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet, Just a man and his will to survive.” These lyrics can relate to Waverly because just like Survivor, Waverly came from a tiny place in San Francisco on the street that her mother named her after. The song and the book both talk about their characters coming from a hard time or a hard place that had a big emotional or physical effect on their future. “We lived on Waverly Place, in a warm, clean, two-bedroom flat that sat above a small Chinese bakery specializing in steamed pastries and dim sum.”

    Part Two: Poetic Devices Poetic devices are used extensively in Demi Lovato’s song “Skyscraper.” In this song, Lovato uses personification to show her depressed feeling. For example “Skies are crying, I am watching” (line 1). Since skies don’t actually cry, this indicates that an inanimate object like skies is given a human characteristic like crying, however, this shows that Lovato is referring to rain as crying since rain represents an emotion of sadness, which explains her depressed mood, and that she is just watching as it manifests into this sadness. As a result, Lovato uses personification to convey her depression.
