Charlotte
I choose the song Charlotte by Huey Mack. The song is about Huey Mack, but his real name is Joseph Cisley. It is about how his dad left him and his mom. The point of the song is to thank his mom for everything she did for him. He was confused as a kid, but now he understands every thing. His mom has cancer and all he wants to do is to take care of her. He thinks that she is amazing because she raised two kids by herself and he just wants her to know that he loves her even when she might think differently.
There are many different things you can analyze in this song. Songs are basically poems with music. In the hook there are a few cesuras but when it is the main songs there are commas but they aren't cesuras. There are no onomatopoeia. I can't really find any other techniques.

Carson, this is not a strong analysis. Songs are basically like poems with music, and the purpose of this assignment is to treat a song like a poem. If you don't see techniques in the song you chose, you need to choose a different one. You should have the terminology packet next to you to help you look for patterns.
ReplyDeleteCookie, I looked up the song after I read this and it really touched me... But i think you needed a little bit more work for your analysis. I know you can do it!!
