Lawrance Professor Comp B 20 February 2013 Song Lyrics as Poetry I chose the song “Started from the bottom” by Drake as an example of poetic language in song. In the lyrics there is a reoccurring theme of how Drake (Aubrey Drake Graham) is implying how he came up with nothing‚ but now is living the dream.

Love > Hate In Charles Dickens’ novel‚ A Tale of Two Cities‚ he illustrates the constant battle between love and hate. This battle is never-ending‚ but in the novel‚ I believe that love won‚ and that love is greater than hate. Love is displayed as love for family and friends‚ while hate is displayed as hate for the aristocrats and revenge. Lucie‚ a young girl who never met her father‚ grows into a strong woman and her love for her family is evident. Her love even saved her father from his despair

Symbolism Of Song of Solomon There are many symbolic meanings in the Song of Solomon. In the novel‚ the white peacock is a representation of Milkman’s journey to flight/freedom. The act of flying shows what the motives of the characters are and those who truly understand have the gift. The watermark on the table is a terrible reminder of Ruth’s past that she can’t forget. The velvet roses in the novel represent how plain Lena and Corinthians’ lives really are. Throughout the book "Song of Solomon"

Aliona Fezoua My Expert Commentary ‘The Bat’ – Theodore Roethke: By day the bat is cousin to the mouse. He likes the attic of an aging house. His fingers make a hat about his head.

But when he brushes up against a screen‚ We are afraid of what our eyes have seen: For something is amiss or out of place When mice with wings can wear a human face.
