The Giver Rhetorical Analysis

This song incorporates multiple social psychological principles because of the complexity of the artists emotions and love to the woman he is addressing in the song. As I listen to the song, Nick Jonas appears to express a passionate love for the woman in this song. Based on Hatfield, depending on the state of arousal, this type of emotion can be steered in several emotions based on the type of arousal that he is experiencing (Myers, 421). Since arousal involves both body and mind, the lyrics imply that Nick is experiencing both physical and emotional feelings because he wants to get close to someone but he knows she is afraid of getting too close. He is drawn to this girl and there is a strong passion that emits through the lyrics. Although Nick feels a strong passionate love for this woman, he knows she may be feeling something also known as attachment. The attachment that is similar to avoidant attachment which is marked by the discomfort over or resistance to being close to others (Myers, 426). He confesses that he knows she is scared because of what she is feeling but he reassures her he will not ask for space from her …show more content…

Nick was very drawn to the woman but there was an invisible force that pulled them away from each other although, with each time he was pulled away, it drew him closer. It was obvious in the video that he longed for a sense of security and he would not give up on his quest. Both Nick and the woman were stripped of their fears until they were completely vulnerable. His love for her was very passionate and intense. Elaine Hatfield described the term passionate as “a state of intense longing for union with another” (Myers, 421). The song and lyrics demonstrate Nick’s feelings of “tug-o-war” because he is battling between passionate love and her attachment

Many people have transformed, or changed, throughout their lives, either in a positive or a negative way. But what does it mean to transform? That can be different between people and the way they think. Some think it's something unacceptable and you should try avoiding it, others want to transform themselves. To transform, you just need to see the true meaning of things and be happy. It is possible to change, but you need a reason to change. You need motivation, just like how you need the motivation to do the things you love to do.

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.

At the end of “The Giver” Jonas finds a small village in elsewhere, however, many people are skeptical that this is true.. On page 166 of “The Giver” the author wrote, “Using his final strength, and a special knowledge that was deep inside him, Jonas found the sled that was waiting for him on top of the hill.” Some people believe that he actually found the sled and others believe that he was hallucinating because he was freezing to death in the cold. I believe that Jonas was hallucinating from the cold because it seems more practical. My justifications for this belief are first, his state of being, second, it can be hypothesized from the quote, “His entire concentration now had to be on moving his feet, warming Gabriel and himself, and going forward” which is found on page 165, and finally this theory could be proven by looking at the descriptions of the memories given to him versus what

In The Giver, a narrative by Lois Lowry, Jonas’s father illustrates his feelings during his Ceremony of Twelve and Jonas tells about his own feelings concerning the forthcoming event. In the text it states, “‘But to be honest, Jonas,’ his father said, ‘for me there was not the element of suspense that there is with your ceremony. Because I was already fairly certain of what my Assignment was to be,’”(Lowry, paragraph 3). This segment of text elucidates the reason of Jonas’s father’s lack of surprise of his Assignment. As stated above, Jonas’s father was already certain of his Assignment, which he continues to explain to be a Nurturer. Jonas’s father explains that as a result of the love he showed all the Newchildren and the time he spent at

Nick Carraway from The Great Gatsby
896 Words | 2 Pages
While Nick enjoys the parties and a sense of nostalgia, he becomes aware of his conflicting hatred and sets up control over his arousing temptations. Nick first meets his rancor at Tom Buchanan’s party in New York. Nick looks out at the black streets and sees himself “within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life”(35). Nick is in limbo; he cannot tilt his metronome. Limbo, like a broken metronome, worries us, and we may think that life is absent of any rhythm. A shower of emotions floods us: anxiety, curiosity, indecisiveness; however, we forget that all we have to do is fix our problem. The state of be...

James Bay's Song Let It Go
1223 Words | 3 Pages
It did surprise me when I learned it was a song about love. Even then when you learn that it is a love song you can’t chalk it up as another cheesy breakup song like a majority of them because of the way the song sounds. I explained how this song is very heartbreaking but in a peaceful way and that’s exactly how the meaning of the song is represented. The deeper meaning of the song is sometimes it is better to let go of something than to hold on to it longer. In the song, it starts out happy to represent why you first became attached to something, “From walking home and talking loads, To seeing shows and evening clothes with you.”, “To staying up and waking up with you.”

Lil Peep Kiss Meaning

A listener could possibly see it as Lil Peep trying to pick up a girl from the club and gets rejected because she has a boyfriend, so Peep goes off to fight this dude to claim his girl for a night. Understanding the meaning of the song can be a bit difficult, but if you follow verse by verse, you can see that Peep is trying to get his significant other back because of how they loved him. Lil Peep wants that last chance with his past relationship; he provides that in the song with “One more chance, baby, gimme a kiss. Ya got one more chance at a night like this” (Lil Peep). Peep meant his words, he meant his feelings, he just plasters that all over the wall and proves that what he is saying is what he is

The opening lyrics of the song state “I left my girl back home, I don’t love her no more” (Weeknd 1-2). This line alone already describes how he is running away from a relationship that he does not want to be in but at the same time allows you to wonder if he ever did love her. When you think about famous stars people are often throwing themselves at them and it’s hard to believe that someone who is not married while being so young and has this level of fame has decided to start settling down trying to find his lifelong partner. The song only gets more and more cloudy from this point.

Dua Lipa New Rules Essay

Looking at the part that says “Talkin’ in my sleep at night making’ myself go crazy,” explains how in her head the thought of missing and debating whether or not to call, the feeling of remorse keeps her awake (Lipa 2-3). This provides the audience with an image of either themselves or the artist in this song laying there at night in bed wondering what would be the right thing to do. With an image comes symbols and in this song in stanza two “ One dont pick up the phone,” can be inferred to a sense of giving in if she calls him and then it would all be for nothing (Lipa
