Recommended: Define theme of love

Love is not just a word but an action. Nick Jonas wrote and sings the song Unhinged and you can hear his compassion and pain when he sings it. Nick has a very strong theme and uses a great deal of literary elements. In this song the theme is “in the end they’re both a little messed up in the relationship.” This is because throughout the song Nick claims that the girl he is talking about, has said and done things like, “told your Mama and your brother you won’t compromise” and “you’re not the first to try and diagnose what’s wrong with me.” In these sentences it shows that she is mad at him and wants him to try and fix whatever is wrong with him. The last sentence of the chorus is “it’s unhinged, it’s just like me” then the very last verse of the song is “you’re unhinged, you’re just like me.” By these two lines it shows that yes, he has problems and has messed up but it also shows that she has messed up to, and that he’s not the only one to be blamed. …show more content…

The first one is “right now my head isn’t screwed on right” and that would be a hyperbole. The second one is a hyperbole as well, but this one is “every sweat just breaks me a little”. The last two are both metaphors, as they are the same as stated before, they are “its unhinged, it’s just like me” and “you’re unhinged, you’re just like me”. The song Unhinged is such a strong song that you can’t help but sing you’re lungs out right along with Nick Jonas. You can really feel the compassion he has when writing this song. Hopefully there are many more great songs like this to

    Finally, Nick’s inability to involve himself emotional with anyone is also a problem. He is more of a bystander than a participant. He fears of being close to anyone, and mostly just gets along with everything. That is a problem. He needs to find someone to listen to, instead of him always being the listener. This emotional distance, which he has, is not a healthy thing for him and can cause him to end being a loner.

  • Examples Of Perfection In The Giver

    Perfection. At least that’s what they think it is. In The Giver, by Lois Lowry, the community is supposedly “perfect”, where no one knows the truth, except the protagonists, Jonas and The Giver. Jonas’ community is far from perfect and is a dystopian society. They severely punish people for breaking minor rules and in an unfair manner, they take important memories from the citizens, and most importantly they kill babies that don’t meet their standards.

    The Community keeps the memories away from the people, which means that they ignore their past, and cannot gain wisdom or bliss. For example, when the Giver was explaining what memories are to Jonas, he says, “There’s much more… I re-experience them again and again. It is how wisdom comes. And how we shape our future,”(Lowry 78). The Giver describes how wisdom comes in this quote.

    Imagine being born in a war zone with a corrupt leader and an educational system that fills people with lies all without even knowing it. Legend, by Marie Lu, is a novel about a thief and an officer who are turned against each other, but find common ground while trying to take down their corrupt government. The Giver, by Lois Lowry, is about a boy who is chosen to be different, but uses the secrets he’s been told by his own community. Although Legend and The Giver both display protagonists who don’t fall victim to dehumanization, both novels are filled with surveillance, propaganda, and the illusion of a utopia. Without the protagonist, these dystopian citizens would continue their meaningless lives without even the right to realize it.

  • Language and Three words in Lois Lowry’s The Giver

    802 Words  | 2 Pages

    Language is a tool to communicate with others, convey your ideas and meanings. Precise language is important because it can help you exchange ideas with others more efficiently without any chance of being misunderstood. Sometimes, different words are used to conceal the true meaning of the idea or action, such as passing away implicating death. In Lois Lowry’s “The Giver”, people living in the community are taught to use precise language to prevent any misunderstanding or misconceptions. But some words used in the community are not precise and are used to distort the true purpose of the word, in order to promote rules or ideas that the government does not want the general public to know. Three words in Lois Lowry’s “The Giver” which camouflage the true meaning of the words are release, assignment and stirrings.

    First of all I thought chapters 12-19 were really action packed when it came to memories. These chapters were not OMINOUS because it was really keeping you on your toes and, personally I thought this was the best section of chapters out of the entire book. There was so much more to these chapters because of all the terrible memories that Jonas received. The topics that were really interesting to me was specifically releasing twins,Rosemary and what releasing is. When I first thought of releasing, I thought of it as a specific place where the bad people become punished and the old go to a retirement home alive. Releasing is really just injecting people with a death needle. The quote I chose was "He killed it! My father killed it!" (150) I felt RUEFUL for Jonas because he saw his dad kill somebody without feeling a thing. I chose this quote because it really shows they have no choice and there emotionless. I would call these people robots because they don't know what they're doing. This quote also aroused a thinking question. How does no one feel sad for someone who just got injected and killed? I know in the book Lowry states

    We gained control of many things. But we had to let go of others” (97). In the book The Giver by Lois Lowry, no one has seen a rainbow after a storm, no one knew what colors were; what choosing was; what it meant to be an individual. Everyone lived in complete Sameness, and never learned what it meant to be an individual. By eliminating as much self expression as possible in Sameness and society, Jonas's community has rejected the individuality of a society where people are free to move society forward. In The Giver individuality is represented by colors, memories, and pale eyes.

    When you hear the word "Utopia" everyone will have something different come to mind. When I hear the word, I instantly think of the book "The Giver" by Lois Lowry. A Utopia is an idea, a state of mind, or perfect place. Sounds great right? In "The Giver" the author focuses on a world of "sameness". Even though Utopia will have the same definite definition no matter who you ask, you can ask 100 people what would their vision of a utopia be, and you are more than likely going to get 100 different responses. Presently, we are inflicted with things that are the opposite of perfect. We have to cope with things such as war, discrimination, sickness, drugs, violence and many other things. If I could have my own perfect world, I think I would probably have a world kind of like Lois Lowry dreamt up in his book. Three main aspects that I would concentrate on incorporating into a Utopian society, would be a world with no racism, no violence, and unemployment.
