Ed Sheeran Rhetorical Devices

178 Words1 Page

I chose this song because I appreciated the correlation of personal history of Ed Sheeran connecting to his audience to add to the level of empathy in his lyrics. Doing this short essay showed me the point of poems is for the subject to leave an affect on the reader, so I felt that highlighting the allusion, simile, and personification gave an implication of knowing the deep meaning behind the music. Realizing the purpose of this piece communicating the sentiment, idea, and concept let me wring out the expression of emotion Sheeran used in this particular song. Also recollecting that this song is performed for a show known as Sons of Anarchy which is a dramatic program about bikers specifically, however correlates with all sorts of topics.

    In his untitled gun control and gun rights cartoon, Chris Britt establishes an accusatory tone using critical irony and a macabre diction to condemn the national threat disregarded by the Republican Party for ignorantly advocating unregulated licensing of guns. Chris Britt evidently displays, in his work, a frustrated sentiment towards the American federal government, specifically addressing the Republican Party. Deliberately, Chris Britt labeled the gun store as “GOP Guns and Gore” and highlighting that the store is “Open 24-7”. Bluntly, Britt specified “GOP” (“Grand Old Party”), interchangeably corresponding to the Republican Party, to emphasize his personal disdain against their party platform. Indisputably, through irony, Chris Britt exhibits

He challenges Thomas Jefferson’s pro slavery views by criticizing his racist, and hypocritical, views of blatant human persecution. The vile institution of slavery was an issue that Americans during Banneker’s time blindly accepted. By using allusions to American history, Banneker attempted to prove that Jefferson was a hypocrite of his own American beliefs. Banneker makes a plethora of references to Jefferson’s hypocrisy, such as the line “you cannot acknowledge that the present freedom and tranquility which you enjoy you have mercifully received and that it is the peculiar blessing of Heaven”.
