Waiting On The World To Change Rhetorical Devices

In my opinion this song ``What is Love`` by the Black eyed peas, refers to people at war whether it is the World War 1, or a war on a smaller scale, in metaphor with themselves or the other issues that are current in the world. This song refers to the fight against racism, it talks about how kids are getting involved and caught up in issues that should be avoided. The song talks a little bit about how we are worrying about problems that are occurring in other countries rather than fixing the situation. As it says in the song "if you practice what you preach then you turn the other cheek" this is not only referring to war but also minor issues that take place here in the world whether it be racism etc. In my opinion this song is calling out
all of the hatred that takes place in today`s society.

The song ``Waiting on The World to Change`` by John Mayer talks about people who are aware that the war is wrong, and want to help people, but feel helpless because we can't talk as loud as the media.
We want to help change the world but we don't know how, so "we keep on waiting on the world to change``. This song particularly grabs my attention for many reasons. Our generation holds more power than we ever have, and it is growing day by day. The media and social networking is in the hands of children and teens and can and is being used for good. For example the Me to We movement which was started by a 12 year old Canadian boy, which is now international and slowly changing the world. Another important thing to look at is Kony 2012. This movement started on YouTube and within hours had teens across the globe promoting to bring awareness to the issue. The point that I am making is that we don’t have to wait for the world to change; we have the power to change the world. If John Mayer could write this song in 2012, instead of 2006, do you think the lyrics would
differ?

This song “Heartache Warfare” by John Mayer is a comparison between love & war. Once I started dissecting this song I realized that it is more deeply rooted into war and suffrage than I originally thought. The lyrics “Once you want it to begin, no one really ever wins” stuck out to me in the simple fact that no one wins in war, nothing is resolved. I wonder, once it is started and it is too late, do people have doubts? Did Hitler have doubts? As well as the lyric “How come the only way to know how high you get me is to see how far I fall?” These lyrics made me wonder why people need to put down and kill others to feel power and height. At first glance, this John Mayer song is a love song, but when dissected, you can see the heartache and pain relating to the holocaust as well as many other issues within the world. That is the great thing about music, lyrics have many meaning and many feelings buried within.

This is a photo by Mien artist Leo Tanguma, which I had seen months and months ago, but has been quite hard for me to forget.
This picture to me is all about symbolism, and a deeply rooted sense of evil. The picture had immediately brought my attention to the holocaust. As you begin looking at the photo, you feel an overwhelming sense of darkness. Starting with the figure, he is wearing a gas mask, covering his identity, as well as holding a gun and a sword. The gun in closest to his heart, and the sword is stabbing a dove, which is the symbol for peace. This represents the destruction of all peace. A rainbow is beginning, but as it passes through this figure, it appears as if he is sucking the life out of it. A rainbow symbolizes peace, happiness, love, and he is taking it away. Glancing at the photo from a far, you can see a circle effect, weeping mothers holding their dead infants emendating from the figure. Another important point in the picture is the colouring. The only colour in the photo is of children, which are sheltered underneath his sword, symbolizing protection. These children are sleeping on bricks, which are suggesting the building of a new foundation, or the starting of a new world. These children look to be in comfort. There is also what looks to be a discarded letter outside “the circle”, which could be a symbol of education or shared information being discarded. This photo to me is the representation of all evil, and reminds me completely of the
suffrage in the holocaust.
