Hotel Asia Symolism

Hotel California When growing up we all have dreams. Some dream of love, money, and success. It is never that easy. The "American dream" can be something hard to reach. I remember growing up always wanting to go to Hollywood and when I finally did I saw the dirt, trash, and people with crushed dreams. Some people have said Hotel California by The Eagles is about hell. The song to me shows how our biggest heavens can become our worst hells. By using symolism, The eagles have a hotel be an example for our dreams bad side. "I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell." The guy who is going to this hotel is so tempted and drawn to this certain woman. I think on our path of life we can fall for temptation like drugs, alcohol or lust. There are many stars like Eazy E, Elvis, Lidsney Lohan, and etc.. "She got a lot of pretty pretty boys she calls friends." That is an example of someone who got caught up in lust. "And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device." I believe that shows how they all knew what they were getting themselves into and got trapped anyways. …show more content…

"Welcome to the Hotel California such a lovely place..They living it up at the Hotel California" They go on describing all the good things about the hotel as in the women, champagne on ice, and the feast in the masters chambers. Soon they realize that the monster that they created (in themselves) can't be killed. The man in the song tries to leave when the night man says "We are programmed to receive You can check out any time you like, but you can never

  • Poetic Devices In Pilgrim Ap Language

    A metaphor she uses in the song is when she says “Old, wise river take me to the sea, breathe free” (6). She is comparing her thoughts to the flow of a river, and the belief when you get older, you get wiser, and the sea is her freedom. She is hoping that her mind will take her away and ultimately be her savior from society. What I found interesting about this song is that she used an actual event that occurred in history. In the song, she stated “Like Pilgrims on the Camino” (8), she’s referring to the El Camino de Santiago where there were many pilgrimages to see the burial site of St. James in Galicia in Northern Spain.
