do we have good sides but we all have bad sides that are hidden deep
within us. I can very much relate to this. Not in the sense that I feel I
am a bad person, but I am familiar with others bad sides and can
notice myself finding my own. I feel this song is a good representation
of a teenager trying to find themselves as it explains how they are
unable to hide there demons as they do not know how, allowing the
reader to believe that they are learning to. These reasons are many of
the reasons why I feel connected to this song/poem. Everyone has
there own bad side and bad memories they want hidden.
Denotation:
Line 1: Dont give up on your dreams
Line 2: Dreams die once you wake up because the dream is over
Line 3: Life is unfortunate/ broken
Line 4: Life cant fly
towards the theme of who you are and for your soul not to give up. My
theme is self, it concentrates about how one may feel or act. The poem
revolves around how one may lose hope in themselves or something
they love, it is about feelings, feelings are about yourself. Therefore the
poem relates to my theme in that respect. Lastly, this poem is very
visual. It can help aid the reader to visualize what the topic is even if
there is no setting. You can visualize someon giving up hope and
believing the world is a terrible place when the poem says, "Life is a
broken-winged bird" Line 3. You are able to see the world being a
horrible place in need of support. The rhyming within the poem also
helps the reader visualize the "setting" and understand the poem
futher as it flows better. Therefore this is a very well written and
understood poem that can relate to my theme of self.

-Alliteration

F-alling for few negative comments, yet you believe there are
many,
Alliteration
This sentence from my Acrostic powm is an alliteration which is the repition of
a letter at the begining of a word. This line (4) expresses F-alling for few, the words
begin with the letter F and are in an order which they are directly after each other
without any words in between. I feel this helps the poem as it is an easy tool used
commonly in the poetic language. I feel it is a highlight in this poem.
Free Verse
-Metaphor
4.
They are within me, from the pit of my stomach to the electricity
in my brain
Line 4 has a metaphor that reads, "electricity in my brain". This is a metaphor
as I am comparing electricity, the type that could kill if too strong. It runs through
wires and can attack at its worse in water. I have compared this to my brain. An
organ that can hold electric charges but does not have man-made electricity running
through it. Therefore this would be considered a comparison, a metaphor.
21.
My paranoia is a reality,
My Free Verse poem has Line 21 which holds metaphor as well. It expresses
how paranoia is like a reality. It is like a real world experience but it is not. It is in fact
a false feeling that allows the body to feel nervous and unsure of its surroundings.
This is connecting that paranoia can feel very real and almost as if it is in the real
world which is reality. Reality is the real surroundings and its the pure facts about the
world. This is comparing your real life experiences to the paranoied world in your
head and throughout your body. How it feels real but in reality it is not.
-Personification
2.
I used personification for Line 2 in my Free Verse because I felt this line would
add depth and mystery to my poem. Knowing that visions and memories race past
their eyes, it means that they are remembering events, but I want to reader to ask
themselves, "what is she remembering?". They find out later in the poem that it is
being normal, and not having this evil side that represents a ghost. It would add
depth because I could have used "She remembered this" instead of using
personification by giving visions and memories a human characteristic as they are
unable to "race/run". It allows the reader to to feel as though it is a more serious
matter than her remembering something but almost as if she is surrounded by these
bad "nightmares/memories".
3.
I used personification for Line 3 in my Free Verse poem because I wanted the
reaer to imagine how tiring it would be to feel this terrified. I was them to notice that
she was scared to the point of o return and that her heart was beating so fast and
wouldn't stop. A human characteristic of running a marathon is an activity that a
heart is unable to do on it own, a full human body is able to run a marathon, but a
heart alone is unable to. This means that Line 3 has personification.
-Assonance
9.
Assonance is the repetition of a sound or letter. In this case I chose the "o" /
"oo" sound, depending on how you read the line, it may com across as a line with
assonance. I intended it to blend and have a slight rythm to it as I want to hold the
reader in the poem. I was wanting the reader to thourghly read the poem and
recognize that this sentence is very important as it is resembling the ghosts, telling
the reader that they are virtually transparent yet they allow her to see them when
they want her too.
