This song is about a marriage where the wife knows that the so called husband is cheating on her even after the they both said “for better or for worse”. She won’t leave him, because she loves him too much, and in this song Sam Smith describes how devastated she is inside. Throughout the video I saw the lying cheating bastard having an affair with another woman. The purpose of the song is that she found out “she’s not the only one”. The wife has no choice but to blame herself for not being good enough. If you’ve been cheated on you can relate to this song.

Life’s too short to stay mad/sad no matter what the circumstance is. The point of view is from the wife that’s been cheated on. The personification is “your heart is unobtainable” meaning you can’t literally hold a heart. The mood is depressing and sad. The video has symbolic imagery; you can see and feel how the woman feels by knowing she’s not the only one. An example of an Allusion would be “Even though Lord knows you kept mine”, “You and me, we made a vow for better or for worse”. An example of a metaphor is, “Your heart is unobtainable”. “For Months on end I’ve had my doubts Denying every tear” is an example of a
The first literary device is a simile and it paints a picture in the readers head.
An example of a metaphor in “Four Directions” is when Waverly relates her relationship with her mother to that of a horse and rabbit. “And that’s what she is. A Horse, born in 1918, destined to be obstinate and frank to the point of tactlessness. She and I make a bad combination, because I’m a Rabbit, born in 1951” (167).
1) This quote is an example of imagery because it uses figurative language to describe what New York is like late at night. As well as it uses words

One example is when Walter Dean Myers wrote this simile, “The voice high and brittle like dry twigs being broken.” This simile helps to show the reader that the person coming up to Greg wasn’t big or strong, he is not intimidating. Another example of a simile in The Treasure of Lemon Brown is, “Father's words like the distant thunder in the streets of Harlem still rumbled in his ears.” This simile helps the reader understand Greg's father, the way his tone is described makes the reader believe Greg's dad is a big, strict parent. Furthermore this simile also helps the reader understand Greg's feelings, the “thunder still rumbling” helps the reader understand that Greg’s father's words are loud and repeating in his head. Another example of figurative language in The Story of Lemon Brown is when the author writes in personification, “Gusts of wind made bits of paper dance between the parked cars.” In this case the personification is used to help describe the setting. The fact that bits of paper were flying around the place probably means that Greg does not live in the nicest of neighborhoods. In the story The Treasure of Lemon Brown, the author uses figurative language to develop settings and characters.
This song talks a lot about the baggage of the past that people hold onto instead of letting it go. All that baggage is only going to end up hurting you more and more instead of helping you in any way possible. An example is the opening
In the song talks meanly about how a guy pretends to be someone who he isnt so that people get along whith him. Based upon a research about the song, its basically about how a guy takes to dinner pretndending to be a good person, in conclusion he drugs her so that he can take her to a hotel and raped her.
... a symbolic story. The poems that were written by Emily Dickinson could be used as an example of controlling metaphors. Dickinson provides a poem that reflects on her feelings and thoughts over her lifetime. The symbolic message that runs through her work is the relationship between God and individuals. She provides one with a symbolic story but within her work the metaphors connecting to religion are over powering in the text.
The man feels abandoned in a corner and he drinks for the sadness he feels. While drinking, he tells himself I do not understand why you left me, if I know she loved me, so if you ever regret your decision he will be waiting for you. Basically, the man feels broken emotionally because the women he loved, left him for no reason. This song to me is not a dancing song, however the song is more about remembering your ex-wife, ex-girlfriend or ex husband and ex-boyfriend. For me personally, this song reminds me of drinking, the title literally means bitter shots of liquor. The way the song shares the hurt the man feels by the women that left him. I could almost picture a man sitting at a bar drinking to his ex saying, “I’m drinking because of you, you caused this”. I could picture that scene in my head because I have seen my friends in Mexico and my cousins in Mexico do
Although the danger and adrenaline an unfaithful acquaintance may feel to being unfaithful to their loved one; it can cause the other person in the relationship to feel damage physically and mentally; leaving a mess of words of feeling unworthy. Both the songs: “before he cheats” and “perfect” show a women’s perspective of what it felt like to being cheated on, However “Before He Cheats” uses her betrayal of trust to good use in contrast to “perfect’s” strategy of staying in a toxic relationship. In “before he cheats” the woman who got cheated on took her deep hatred and betrayal she had towards the situation and turned it to revenge; a dish best served cold. However in “perfect” the women was hurt
In the story the author does include figurative language like metaphors, personification, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, alliteration, allusion, and simile.
Myths are, arguably, the most important allusion. Myths find themselves littered around the world and throughout time. Since the beginning of written language to present day, people experience myths in literature. Before science and modern religion, myths were what people used to explain the world around them. They used them to make the sun setting and rising, seasons, the
Figurative language includes several types of figures of speech such as simile, metaphor, and personification. A simile is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two different things using the word “like” or “as.” One example of a simile is the phrase, “It’s as clean as a whistle.” Another example of a simile is “my love is like a red, red rose.” Each of these examples use “like” or “as”; these are the indicators that the author is using a simile. Ha Jin’s simile in “The Bane of the Internet” demonstrates Yuchin’s feelings: “At the sight of that gorgeous machine, I felt as if a dozen awls were stabbing my heart.” Another type of figurative language is called a metaphor. A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes an implied comparison between two fundamentally different things. An example of a simple metaphor is, “He is a pig.” A metaphor makes the comparison without using “like” or “as.” An author uses a metaphor to help the reader ‘see’ details. “Her burning eyes glared straight through me.” Miguel de Cervantes uses a metaphor to describe the size of the mule: “The second brother, seeing how his comrade was treated, drove his heels into his castle of a mule and made off across the country faster than the wind.” A third type of figurative language is
An example of a metaphor is when Heaney describes the berries as a “glossy purple clot”. This smart use of an imagery and a metaphor at the same time gives an image of a ripe berry. There is also a smart use of a simile, “hard as a knot”, for the unripe berries. When Heaney says “hard as a knot”, it sounds rather short, sugge...
“Lonely” is one of those songs you need when you just went though a break up. It 's the sad or negative part of love. He has so many emotions in this song like, regret, sadness, and compassion. I picked this song because I think it shows a great part of love, the part when you realize what you had but not that thing is gone. A lot of people take love for granted and don 't realize what other do for them until those people leave. It shows how selfish love can be at time’s. This is one of the worst things about love is having your heart broken into a million pieces. One of the most painful things I have ever experienced. The song is very popular though because
