Three Figurative Language
I think it’s very important to let ourself to relax and make people comfortable, so music is one of the way to do this.During poetry cafe, our group sang a song called “Life is Worth Living”, it’s originally song by Justin Bieber. This song can inspire me, because I can sing the song to let others remember me and have a good impression. I will discuss three figurative languages in this essay, which is Smile, Hyperbole and Rhyme, and they all can show the essence of this song.
When the song sings that "It's like you're stuck on a treadmill.”, the author uses a simile. Simile means to compare two things with using words “like” or “as”. He compares himself stuck on the treadmill. It shows that the author doesn’t know where to go and what to do.

    In both poems, “On Monsieur’s Departure” and “The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock,” they reveal very similar aspects in the human condition using figurative language. The use of figurative language in these poems makes it easier to portray the types of feelings that go through one's head. In “The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock” the poem is talking about what seems to be more of what happens when one over thinks when he’s alone. Whereas in “On Monsieur’s Departure” the poem talks about what someone might feel when dealing with the heartbreak of unrequited love. Both poems touch on sensitive topics that involve the Human Condition that many people have dealt with in the past, today, and will in the future.…
