Metaphor in a song

The metaphor I choose to write about in this week post from a song by Eminem called "Space Bound". The metaphor goes like this "I'm a space bound rocketship and your heart's in the moon". The artist is comparing himself as a rocket ship heading towards the moon who is someone's heart. The reason it is a metaphor, because the artist is comparing two unlike things.

Post 15 mythological elements

In the poem "Hazel Tells LaVerne" some of the mythological elements the authors uses includes the way the poem is written. It is written in a way that it flows together with the accent, and follows the archetype of a person with a southern accent. That's what I get when I read the poem. It also has a way of capturing the author with the storytelling of the poem, and the talking frog.

Post 14 Colleagues themes

 My colleagues themes of their favorite song, or poem. Malik's favorite poem is " A Dream within a dream". Theme of the poem is, if all of this is real? Is our reality real, or just a dream within a dream. He likes the idea of asking this question, and thinking about it. Jayla's favorite poem is "Acquainted with the night". The theme of the poem is isolation, or loneliness..

Post 13 Favorite song theme

My favorite song is lose yourself by Eminem. I like that song a lot, because I connect to it, and relate to it. The theme of my favorite song is to never lose yourself. Lose who you are, but it's also about coming out of your shell, and doing what you want to be, and be who you truly want to be. Don't ever let someone else change who you are, or who you truly want to be.
