1. We will review your analysis of MAMA IS A SUNRISE. You are expected to follow the same directions to write a short analysis of a song of your choice. The directions again are as follows:
a. Identify at least three devices in the lyrics (metaphors, similes, alliteration, rhyme, hyperboles, etc)
b. How do the devices help create images or make the song flow better?
c. What images come to mind when you read that specific line from the lyrics?
d. Write a thesis statement l - something like this:
In the song, "blah blah", the artist, so n so, uses stylistic devices including (pick three) in order to help the listener create images to understand the lyrics and create a smooth flowing sound.
Now you are ready to begin writing the analysis:
Opening paragraph:
Write the thesis statement. Then consider the following questions to complete your opening paragraph:
Why the does the artist use the devices in the song? Does it help paint a picture? Does it make the song flow better? Does it put emphasis on specific ideas? Does it make it easier to understand?
3. In your 2nd paragragh, identify each of the poetic devices you chose, give an example and explain how it enhances the song. Remember to use adjectives and descriptive words and write two sentences for each device. That means this paragraph has 6 sentences!
4. Conclusion - restate the thesis and explain the affect it has on you. In addition, possible answer other questions such as, "do you think most people can relate to this song? Why or why not?" Why do you think artist wrote this song? Do you think it is personal?
