To be honest‚ this music videos was quite difficult for me to break down initially. I had never seen the music video and my only experience with the song was hearing part of it in the movie Never Been Kissed‚ which‚ admittedly‚ is not a significant experience with the text. After listening to in a dozen times for this assignment though‚ I have to say that I do like it. I had also never analyzed a music video before‚ so I felt unqualified‚ but our in-class discussion was very enlightening. I was

Literary Analysis - He Seems To Me Equal To Gods The poem I chose to analyze is He seems to me equal to gods. After reading this poem numerous times‚ I believe it is about a woman’s lust for a man.

Poetry test Thursday October 3 You fit into me By: Margaret Atwood You fit into me like a hook into an eye a fishhook an open eye What initially appears to be a silly love poem quickly becomes dark and harrowing. Atwood overturns the expected definition of “hook and eye” and replaces it with an image of brutality and violence.

In the poem‚ “Hand-Me-Downs” by Sarah Kay‚ the poet uses conflict and figurative language to show that anger is passed down from generation to generation.

His use of repetition‚ especially of the phrase “dem tell me” gives a sense of repetition and exaggerates the amount of things he was
