While everyone will have their own assumptions of this song, I presume that it is about drugs. In the very first stanza, it mentions the word ’’colitas’’. Colitas are also known as the bud of marijuana; therefore, I believe that diction sets the mood for the rest of the song. Another example for diction is when they said ‘’bends’’. The Eagles are telling us that the mind is morphed by drugs. In the first refrain of the song, it says ‘’You can find it here’’. I assume the Eagles are talking about drugs when they say ‘’it’’. Later on in the song it says ‘’some dance to forget’’. Marijuana can cause people to forget things for short periods of time. In stanza five, it says ‘’You can checkout any time you like But you can never leave!’’ I assume

Rhetorical Analysis: I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings In her memoir, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings Maya Angelo commemorates and admires strong independent black women and strives to become a well-educated woman herself. Through the use of visual imagery, Angelou describes Mrs. Flowers as a refined black woman to convey to the audience a feeling of pride and recognition for all sophisticated black women and a sense of empathy for Maya.

The visual description of the “fireplace” and “tea” demonstrates to the reader the value that white women have in this society.

The song starts off with a speech from deranged cult leader Charles Manson on the topic of the modern workspace. Manson states “I went to the studio! I went to Vox Studios. I had it all, and I looked at it and said: 'This is a bigger jail than I just got out of.'” which the band includes to show how many feel like they're trapped in their job or social class with no ability to escape.

Past leaders such as Andrew Jackson, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Marc Antony are evidence that society does not reward morality and good character in leadership. Society is drawn to leaders that have good rhetoric, propaganda, and charismatic personalities, and society supports them despite their immorality.

Theme: Friendship Song: “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” – Randy Newman “You've got a friend in me. You got troubles then I got them too.

While creating my rhetorical analysis paper I used all of my typical writing processes. I began this assignment by selecting a commercial that I thought would be the most appealing in the superbowl. After selecting my commercial I did some research at the library using EBSCOhost. I then created an outline on what my paper would be about and pieced all of its parts together. In the future I will try to recieve help earlier on because at first I struggled to understand what the purpose of the paper was.
Moreover, in the song, I found several literary devices present. One of the first verses "It was as though I'd been spit here" acts as a metaphor in revealing his messy state and being seemingly thrown into a bloody battle. Additionally, there is a simile within the verse "And five hundred more were thrashing madly, As parasites might in your blood". These haunting lyrics are a play on words that describe how soldiers were desperately trying to escape the consuming seas when the verse " And those left in the water, Got kicked off our pant leg" concludes the soldiers were left deserted.
The album kicks off with a song accurately titled “An Introduction to the Album”, a slow burning anthem with a slow, calming guitar lead serving as a background for Christian Holden to sing an infectious repeated vocal melody throughout the first half of the song. Christian’s voice is by no means perfect, but his untrained vocals allow genuine emotion to shine through as we hear the stress his voice is put under for some of the more demanding notes.
