Don T Wait Joey Graceffa Analysis

278 Words2 Pages

Don’t Wait (Joey Graceffa) has a lot of meaning behind it. For example, in the song he said, “I’ll be your compass so you’ll never feel alone” This is a metaphor because he can’t literally be someone 's compass. This metaphor shows that Joey Graceffa can help guide his boyfriend through life and the difficulties of being able to love anyone. In this particular instance this song is talking about being gay because this was Joey Graceffa’s coming out video. Another example of meaning behind Don’t Wait (Joey Graceffa) is the lyric, “You’re like a warrior, keep up the fight.” This is a simile because it uses the word “like” and his boyfriend is not literally a warrior. He used this simile to tell his boyfriend that he can always fight against

    Show and Tell Scott McCloud begins his graphic essay, Show and Tell, with a series of sixteen panels of a young boy demonstrating how to turn a toy robot into an airplane. By doing so, McCloud is informing the reader of just how everyone starts out as a child. For example, as McCloud points out, at a day like “Show and Tell”, students would present with them their favorite animal or whatever was needed for that day to present to the class. This is just like using words and images interchangeably which is what everyone was taught to do as a kid. However, this is all considered normal so long as the child grows out of this habit as they approach pre-adulthood.

    Through these images Hozier is using the rhetorical strategy, Pathos. He is pressing to prove that being anti-gay is absolutely worst than being a homosexual. Another example of a Rhetorical Strategy being used is the language Hozier uses in the lyrics, which are very powerful.

  • Did I Miss Anything Tom Wayman Analysis

    My considered response is on the poem, “Did I Miss Anything?” by Tom Wayman. This poem is about a teacher that is answering the question, “did I miss anything”. The teacher does answer the question; however they do it in a roundabout, overly sarcastic and exaggerated manner. The teacher shifts from saying they did nothing while the student was absent to saying that they did everything in the next stanza. In my considered response I will explain the poetic devices I found in the poem.

  • The Raiders March Analysis

    746 Words  | 3 Pages

    The introduction of the piece is the same as that of “The Raiders March”, but with strings playing in the background. The A melody begins with the trumpet as the strings fade out (0:07). The first minute and a half of the song is played the same as that of “The Raiders March”, though due to differing sound equalization, some parts stick out more or less than they do in the original. For example, in the third repetition of the A melody, one can more clearly hear the xylophone accompanying the melody here than in “The Raiders March”. The piece begins to differ more significantly after the break following the third repetition of the A melody when the piece modulates down a half step instead of up like in the original (1:37).
