To write a 1,200–1,500 word essay that analyzes the figurative language and literary devices in a song to show how those elements contribute to the song’s appeal to its audience.
figurative lanuage is the colour that is used to amplify the colour of i=our writing for example these are the highliters of any sentence statement or speech or poem. They are mainly of 5 types and the inclludes hyperbole,metaphor,simili, personification and symbolism.Thus we can say these are said to make comparison to other but often by different words for example in simili the comparison is made by letters like as , like etc therfore we could say that his hairs were like nest so here a comperison is made by using the word like..Now in the metaphor the similarity is shown by words directly but not using words like and as example-Spending toom uch time with him is worse than swimming with whales in the sea.Hyperbole is a derived from a grekk word that means exaggeration where a sentence is exagerrated thus we can say that by example -She is the queen of the universe.So we notice children often speak in hyperbole.in personification someone is personified and compared to very stron someone like his anger fails suns fury.and in symbolism we compare the given thing with something and it represents to show us the story within it.like black colour is used to show dark daeth and evil and yellow is used for decay.
The term literary devices are used by the writer to provide an easy solution to their reader so that the reader could understand the meaning in very simple and easy words and then he could appreciate him.the literary devices include allusion,dictation,Epigraph,Euphemism,forshadowing,Imagery,metaphor,personification
So these are used in a song in order to convey their message to the audience and hence we get to know the feelings of the writer and interpret them
The song by michael jackson HUMAN NATURE was one of the literay devices used by him
Hear her voice,shake my window,Sweet seducing signs
here the s sound coming from sweet seducing and signsforms a aliteration here shake also starts with s but is not included because it does not make the same sound
threfore we can say that aliteration can make a poem or song sweet and makes a musical effect whereas literay pieces makes it attractive
