    “The Flea” by John Donne‚ written in the 17th century and first published in 1633 is a poem about persuasion‚ in that the narrator is trying to convince his partner to have sex with him.

    “DONTTRUSTME” is an artistic masterpiece by pop duo 3OH!3. The song is about a girl who is labeled a “ho.” The majority of the definitions of the word “ho” are quite insulting and offensive‚ so for my analysis‚ I shall provide my own.
