Poetry analysis Essay

Even though Mariah Carey song rooftop seems like a normal pop song it actually has many elements of poetry.
Mariah Carey a multi platinum artist was born in New York on march 27,1969.She was the first female artist to accomplish a number one debut. Shes the most successful female artist in music history,She also composes her own music.
Using sound ,images and showing a new perspective Mariah Carey sends a message about how a moment can last forever.
Mariah Carey uses imagery to express a moment in her life. By using touch ,taste and sound she helps the listener have a better idea of the moment on the rooftop.
For example she says "she felt alive" to tell the listener how she felt at the moment in time.She also say she" he touch me so very subtly"to express how it felt when she was touched.She uses taste by saying "he taste my sadness"And uses sound to by explaining when he "whispered the words i love you"These are all great examples of how Mariah Carey attracted the listeners by using imagery.
Mariah carey also uses three poetic devices such as alliteration ,rhyme and repetition to explain the moment on the roof top.
She uses repetition by repeating "on the roof top that rainy night"and every time i feel the need"to explain how important the moment was to her. Mariah also uses alliteration by using "pounding" and "resounding" and uses rhyme such as mine and tine.
Mariah also uses metaphors and personification to show a new perspective on how memories should be treasured and easy to remember.
The metaphor
I was twisted "i was twisted in a web of my desire for you"Explains how her feeling were traped in her memories.She also used personification "my inner voice resounding "And my apprehension blew away and started listening to my longing heart"this decribes how her feeling and heart overcame her at that moment.She uses these poetic devices to give a new perspective on how little things and your feelings should be remembered forever.
Although rooftop is just a pop song it uses three main poetic devices to give a strong message.
The song grabs the listeners attention by using great alliteration and repetition.It brings clear images of the rainy rooftop on that November night .And therefore comparing her feelings to "twisted webs of desire.
This song helps you pay attention o sounds and sights to remember event in your life.

The two talented singers Beyonce and Rihanna are todays most popular female artists.The question is which one is the best.
When i asked some of my class mated which artist they felt were better some though Beyonce was the the better artist rather than rihanna.
For example mierra stated that "she can sing dance and act"also Ruby said "Beyonce has more natural talent and shes been around longer.
Othes thought Rihanna was the better singer.
For example asia replied "Rihanna is more classy with swag"i also asked shantel and she told me "Rihanna be on her chill Beyonce be too hype.
There are many different opinions on each individual because they both are talented performs with strengths and weeknesses.

Animal Farm
Although animal farm appears to be a simple fairy tale in reality its a satire of a difficult period in Russian history.
Animal farm appears to be a simple story about animals rebelling, its actually an allegory written by George Orwell to connect to the issues in Russia .It was written in 1945 to criticize communism and dictatorship.
In animal farm the way character respond to stories has a strong connection to their ability to survive.


Squealer takes stories that happened and twist them in his own way.
One example squealer twisting stories is the story of Boxers death. Squealer says the "van had been previously the property of a knackers and had been bought by a surgeon and it had not been painted over” He also claims he was with boxer at his deathbed.
Another story that squeaker twisted was how Napoleon was responsible for the windmill. Snowball fills the animals with lies that the "plan snowball had drawn on the floor of the shed was stolen from Napoleon’s paper". Finally squealer persuades the animals that the pigs needed apples and milk. Squealer says they needed the apples and milk to "preserve their health". Also "milk and apples have been proven to contain substances that helps the well being of a big". There for squealer twist stories to benefit his self and to survive.

Boxer lets the stories make him by listening and obeying Napoleon order. Boxer always says, "Napoleons is always right” Boxer works harder even when he had just recovered from an injury.
For example after his hoof was still healing he refused to take even a day off work. He also made it point of honor that no one knew he was in pain. Boxer was lead to believe that snowball was responsible. Boxer replied by saying "but he was wounded” Squealer persuaded Boxer and then he responded "If comrade Napoleon says it must be right” Boxer also believes that he would go and be able to retire but he was given to the knackers. For example Boxer says” He looked forward to the peaceful days that he would spend in the corner of his pasture. He also intended to teach the rest of he alphabet for the remainder of his life. Boxer lets the stories and lies make him which lead to a tragic fate.

Benjamin did not make stories nor did he believe in them. Benjamin did believe that boxer was taken to a sergeant. For example Benjamin says, "fools ,fools do you not see what is written on the side of the van” Trying to alert the other animals of the lies being told. Also when it was time to vote for Napoleon or Snowball Benjamin did not side with neither. For example "he refused to believe that food would become more plentiful or that the windmill would work" Finally when squealer changed the commandment Benjamin did not believe the lies.” Benjamin nodded his muzzle with a knowing and seemed to understand but said nothing. Although Benjamin did not master the stories neither did he believe the stories?

The ability to understand stories has a major impact on survival in Animal Farm.
Boxer squealer and Benjamin had different understanding of stories. Boxer believed every word, Benjamin did not believe and Squealer was able to manipulate the stories. All these differences affected each characters fate.
Since stories are so powerful society must be aware of how they interpret them.

Gabriel Channel also known as Coco came from a humble beginning and an unhappy childhood.But little did she know that she would become the 20th century most prominent designers.Channels designs were based on the simplicity and elegance.She introduced relaxed dressing and influenced modern day fashion.
The historical problem was womens were still not equal to men and one way they were not equal was their clothing.Women were starting to do jobs that men were usually expected to do.Women were expected to wear dresses corset and not casual clothing.
she revolutionized women fashions.Casual soft shaped clothes and relaxtion.Chanel took women fashions away from stiff corsets and introduced practical clothing borrowed from men clothing.Practical clothing that women wear today.
What was the problem ?the problem was that high fashion had been taken over by men.There were too many men in the fashion industries and they did not know how to make clothing for women.Coco chanel had gift for knowing what women wanted.
She motivated others by influencing women to wear more comfortable clothing like the "little blak dress"That was casual an elegant.
Through the 1990 and 2000 Karl Largfield kept Chanles name alive and well after her death.
The effect her clothing had on the 1920 since now,channel took womens fahsions away from stiff corsets and introduced casual practical clothing borrowed from mens fabrics.
The long term change that happened is the new fashion expressed the new status of women. Women started to enter a variety of careers and new ways of living.During world war 2women took over mens jobs and the traditional corset disapeared.The development was influenced by the new attitude of women.
Why should we care about Coco Chanels legacy?Because she influenced independent women.Not only did she influence attitude but also how to wear it.The development was influenced by the attitude of women.
Coco Chanel legacy still lives on every day.You can see it and feel it the concept of the way women dress the natural womens figure,elegant and sophisticated.
The new fashion expressed the new status of women.Her fashion and idea contributed to the evolution of modern day woman and their careers.
