Have you ever wondered how singers make their songs or how the songwriters write the songs? Well I have and I’m going to tell you the literary devices that the singer Wale uses that all other poets singers and songwriters use. Wale uses metaphor, imagery, and rhyme in his songs to almost make them come alive in your mind.
The first literary device that i will be going over is Metaphor ( a metaphor is someone say one is something that they are not) Wale uses metaphor in Lotus Flower bomb by saying that a girl is a lotus flower. he is saying that the girl is a flower because of how beautiful she is to him. He uses metaphor in the Friends­n­Strangers by saying “am I wrong for barking” this is a metaphor because he says he is barking when he is really yelling at that person. He uses metaphor in Center of attention by saying “you see the devil is alive but he works slow” this is a metaphor because he is saying that the devil is real and is alive, he is saying that him being famous that it is ruining his life slowly. He uses metaphor in Contemplate by saying “The next day you is everybody's target” this is a metaphor because he is saying that his self is a target for everyone else.
The second literary device that he uses is Imagery (imagery is when you use descriptive words to make a picture in your mind) he uses imagery in Lotus Flower bomb when he says
“ with that gorgeous face” this is imagery because he is saying that gorgeous face this puts a picture of a model in my mind. He also uses imagery in Friends­n­ Strangers by saying “I keep my friends close, enemies on a leash like” this is imagery because I imagine a person on a leash. He uses imagery in Center of attention when he says “And true I’ve seen better times cause i'm gettin dough” this is imagery because it puts a picture of stacks of money in my mind. Finally he uses imagery in Contemplate by saying “That cell phone that i bought is probably filled with some other n­ggas numbers”

    The first literary device used in the novel is the symbolism of the black Mary. The black Mary picture that Lily first carries around with her symbolizes her mother Deborah and a piece of her Lily has left. Lily has the picture and wants to find where it’s from to discover something about her mom. Lily eventually ends up at the Boatwright house and discovers that’s where the picture came from.

    It makes you imagine the scenario and the setting of the song. Not only it makes you imagine the scenario and setting of the song, but it also makes you think of and wonder what the beat of the music is and how all the laughter of the people would sound. An example that you may use for the literary device of imagery is, “Snowing and blowing in bushels of fun” (1:3). “Snowing and blowing in bushels of fun” uses imagery because it makes you imagine what is happening. It impacts the song because the line says that the people are having a lot of fun. Another example that may be used for this literary device is “Dancing and Prancing in Jingle Bell Square” (2:9). “Dancing and Prancing in Jingle Bell Square” also uses the literary device of imagery because it makes you fantasize where the people are and what they are doing. The line says that the people are dancing in “Jingle Bell Square” which also makes you think and picture that the song might take place in Times Square. In addition to these examples another literary device of imagery used is, “Mix and a-mingle in the jingling beat” (3:19). “Mix and a-mingle in the jingling beat” uses imagery and impacts the song because it makes you envision that the people are moving and dancing to the beat of the jingle bells. Another literary device that the writers Beal & Boothe used in the song is…
