In this dark, vengeful song, “Look What You Made Me Do,” shrewd lyricist Taylor Swift uses honest repetition, ominous imagery, and arresting figurative language to demonstrate an adolescent female’s change to a wrathful lady. Swift begins with a spiteful stanza followed by a snide chorus to testify to her change. In the first stanza, Swift is objective and calls it as she sees it. “I don't like your little games don't like your tilted stage…I don't like you” creates an oppressive impact at the beginning of the song. Swift never directly mentions the “you” but it can be perceived that she is alluding Kanye West. Kanye did in fact use a tilted stage and has had an ongoing feud with Swift since 2009. Instead of leaving great mystery in her songs

Swift wants his readers to interpret his speaker as a kindhearted, sensible gentleman with a sincere concern for resolving problems for the Irish people. In the first eight paragraphs, the reader meets an affectionate man with precise insight into the predicament he will shortly address. By doing this, the speaker establishes himself up as someone who would not make an outrageous proposition. This makes his words even more effective.
Rudolfo Anaya’s novel bless me, Ultima ignites theory to a community, comprised of goodness and necessary evil. These contrasting existences are described through ghosts of alienation and ostracization from immediate society, evident according to the solitary and lonesome physical appearance of Rosie's house.
Therefore, before an analysis can continue, one has to make the assumption that this is strictly a fictional work and Swift had no intention of pursuing his proposal any further. One of the other voices that is present throughout the entire story is that of sarcasm. In order to understand this further, a reader has to comprehend that Swift, becoming infamous after Gullivers Travels, was a member of the upper-class. Right from the first paragraph, Swift attempts to fool his readers by the sarcasm of the dreary scene that Swift presents. For example, he mentions that it is a melancholy sight to see beggars and their children on the street.
N’Sync’s writers have written some very memorable songs in the past, including ‘Digital Getdown’ and ‘That’s When I’ll Stop Loving You’. These songs are filled with inspiring lyrics such as, “Don’t wanna be the reason for your love no more” and “Baby, baby get nasty, nasty and we can get freaky deaky.” These lyrics teach the 8 year old fans just what girls are good for, and make them feel loved and respected; at the same time they teaching them some interesting vocabulary that they can use in everyday life. I like the consistency of the song titles, because consistency is very important. A large portion of their titles include the word ‘you’, or ‘me’, which definitely showcases their creativity. The fact that they let talented musicians do the instrumental sections proves that they care about how their music sounds. N’Sync’s songs are a positive influence on today’s youth.
Taylor continues to maintain her clean appearance by making wise attire decisions. Her consciousness of being a role model and inspiring young girls is a decision that she chooses to permanently tattoo into her mind. On a special for 60 Minutes, she tells Leslie Stahl that when she gets dressed in the morning, she thinks of the opinions of the millions of fans that have confided in her (Swift). She is aware that something as simple as a wardrobe choice is something that makes young women look up to her. A single provocative piece of clothing she chooses to wear has the ability to alter the dressing styles for girls, but she does not try to experiment with risqué choices. Taylor knows that her clothing choices are being monitored from such a young audience, and she does not find this a challenging task. In an older interview for Glamour Magazine she states that it is easy for her to keep her clothes on and refuses to take them off (Swift). Swift expresses no intent to exposes flesh because she wants to ...
Swift was said to “declare at one stage in his life: ‘I am not of this vile country (Ireland), I am an Englishman’” (Hertford website). In his satire “A Modest Proposal,” he illustrates his dislike not only for the Irish, but for the English, organized religions, rich, greedy landlords, and people of power. It is obvious that Swift dislikes these people, but the reader must explore from where his loathing for the groups of people stems. I believe Swift not only wanted to attack these various types of people to defend the defenseless poor beggars, but he also had personal motives for his writings that stemmed from unconscious feelings, located in what Sigmund Freud would call the id, that Swift developed in his earlier years of life.
Looking at the way Swift presents his argument, I can tell that Swift is a very creative person. He establishes this persona of an informative person of an informative person that doesn’t want this situation to end up happeni...
Swift dehumanizes one year old babies in his proposal mainly to take a shot at women, who have these many babies that they cannot afford or support their livelihood. Swift say, “take in the whole number of Infants at a certain Age, who are born of Parents in effect as little able to support them” (Swift). He’s including babies not only of the age one but all babies. Another example of Swift dehumanizing in his proposal is women. He says, “It is true a Child, just dropt from it's Dam” (Swift). He is calling women a “Dam” in other words he is comparing women to an animal’s mother. He compares women to animals again when he says, “that of the hundred and twenty thousand Children, already computed, twenty thousand may be reserved for Breed, whereof
Both rhetorical devices and figurative language are used to help the writer explains wishes, feelings, and some situations about the writer’s unable reading problem (dyslexia). The writer also asks some questions and compares him with other famous people to support his purpose, and he wants anyone understand a kid who has been living with dyslexia.
In response to his statement Lady Macbeth says, “Wouldst thou have that / Which thou esteem’st the ornament of life, / And live a coward in thine own esteem, / Letting “I dare not” wait upon “I would” [...]” (1.7.41-45), which states that she is not pleased with him and thinks he is a coward. Although murder is evil and, obviously, illegal, Lady Macbeth knows that she must have Duncan killed in order to gain what Macbeth desires, so she manipulates him into thinking that he must effectuate this plan. The reader is aware of the fact that she successfully influenced him because in Act 2, Scene 1, Macbeth states that the deed “is done”, which gives the impression that he is now confident with his actions. Manipulation, as seen above, is also evident in a few songs of Twenty One Pilots. Similar to Macbeth, Tyler is being manipulated by the voices inside his head that are telling him to do something that he knows he should not. “I’ve got two faces, blurry’s the one I’m not” (Goner) is a popular lyric, which
Katy is mimicking the Ancient Egyptian Queen Cleopatra by the way she carries herself. The men bringing the Queen gifts depicts the stereotypical way of how men try to win a woman’s heart by offering them a gift. The music video pocks fun at this by having Katy Perry transform each man who delivers her a gift into an object relevant to their gift, because just offering a gift is not enough for a powerful woman like Perry. Another example of the use of symbolism in the music video was when Perry sings “Are you ready for? Ready for? A perfect storm? Perfect storm?” The “perfect storm” represents the conflict between Perry’s personalities. She is the girl of the men’s dreams, but at the same has the power to crush them if she is crossed in
The piece of music I decided to analyze is by Britney Spears and called” Ooops! I did it again”. The genre of this piece of music is considered pop culture. This music is completely different to anything we have listened to in class. Vocal music allows listeners to be able to connect with the melodies of the music and allow the lyrics to flow smoothly. The melody of this song is repetitive throughout and the melody follows with the beats. The lyrics are also repetitive and allows listeners to be able to remember it better and sing along to it. This song is similar to music we have listened too in past where it follows the same styles. Like when the song is approaching the chorus, the tempo rising and the vocals increase in volume requiring Britney to hit higher notes. She sings
