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.

 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?

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.

Post 11 Star Wars Theme

Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith has many themes including family, empathy, and fear. The main theme of the movie that drives it forward is loss. The main character in the movie Anakin Skywalker is afraid of losing his pregnant wife in child birth, so he does anything to save. Which means going against his order, because of this fear of losing her, and doing terrible things. Loss is a recurring theme throughout the whole saga of Star Wars.

My classmate Malik Toomer wears a cross around his neck everyday, and it symbolizes Jesus. It also has a more personal meaning to him, just like my symbol. It also reminds him of his Great-grandmother who sadly passed away, and she gave him the necklace. The next classmate symbol I looked at was Keyshuna McRae. She also wears a necklace that was given to her by her grandmother. She said each year her grandmother gave her a new necklace, but they all symbolize the same thing; love and peace.

Post 09 Symbols

The one item that I always have on me is my necklace. It is part of a yin yang symbol. It is the Yang symbol part. My brother has the Yin part of the necklace. What the necklace symbolizes to me is that my brother, and I when we are together we are complete. We are exact opposites of each other though. The Yin symbol means life, movement, sun,strong, big, love, and mercy.
