Development How insightfully and convincingly does the writer analyze each example of the song's poetic devices in terms of correct identification and explanation of terms for given line(s), tying the use of each to the song's theme? The essay should focus on approx. three main literary devices used in the song to convey a particular message or meaning. These devices should be introduced in the introduction and stated in the thesis. Each body paragraph should address ONE of these literary devices – with examples from the song and analysis of the device, how it is used in the song, and how it helps convey 20 19 18 17 10 8 0 the song’s overall meaning or message. Your essay does not organize the content in this way, and the analysis is weak. Although your essay identifies many and varied possible examples of literary devices in the song, it does not include deep analysis of any one example. The cultural impact of the song also needs further development. It begins to address how and why the song appeals to a certain audience (those who have experienced similar relationship problems) but then gets off track by stating other examples of its popularity (mainly because of its catchy sound). Incorporation of Source Material How logically and effectively are paraphrases, summaries, and direct quotations from varied, relevant, and reliable sources employed to support the thesis statement and illustrate the assertions made about the song itself? 10 9 8 7.5 7 5 0 The main source you seem to have incorporated is the one that identifies literary devices and their definitions. The essay does not incorporate sources that are relevant to the song itself and could help support the analysis you try to convey.

Your essay presents many different devices, many without sufficient analysis. It is not enough to simply identify the use of a particular device in the song. Each one should be analyzed in terms of the device you identify and how it contributes to the song’s overall meaning. Style and Voice How energetically and consistently does the writer interact with both the topic and audience while using varied, 10 9 8 7.5 7 4 0 concrete, active diction? To what extent does the writer achieve a natural, pleasant rhythm, particularly through sentence fluency? MLA Citation Did the writer accurately and correctly document at least 10 9 8 7.5 7 3 0 three required sources using the MLA citation style both in-text and on the list of Works Cited? Annotated Bibliography Did the writer give five sources, including the two cited in the paper? Was each annotation at least three sentences 10 9 8 7.5 7 4 0 long? How well did the writer summarize the source's purpose, analyze its usefulness for the paper, and reflect on a unique aspect of the source?

Figurative Language Analysis of the song, Jar of Hearts The song, Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri is a popular song, which uses numerous types of figurative language. The use of figurative languagses allows for people listeninglisteners to understand the deeper meaning and story of the song. The Commented [PF1]: Based on your outline, this is the closest to a thesis statement for this essay. lyrics were obtained from Google Play List (2017) and song was written by D. Lawrence. However, the thesis should (1) state the name of song (2) identify the specific literary devices that will be analyzed (3) state the main message or theme of the song that is The title in it of itself is a literary device. It is a metaphor. The ‘jar of hearts’ is a conveyed through the literary devices and (4) indicate what the cultural impact or significance of the song is. metaphor implying that past relationships have been put to the side and put away, so that they are part of the person’s history and not in their present or future. Although the title is original since there are no other songs that I know of with this name, the plot of the song is unoriginal. It is the same type of love story found in lots of songs, books, and movies, and thus it is a form of figurative language called a cliché. The cliché and plot of the song is simple.

  • CHAPTER II REVIEW of RELATED LITERATURE This Chapter Presents
    CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE This chapter presents the result of reviewing of some theories that are relevant to the problem. The literature review consist of the concept of literature, song, lyric, figurative language, meaning, message, Christina Perri, and Previous Study. A. The Concept of Literature Literature is a term used to describe written or spoken material. The term is most commonly used to refer to works of the creative imagination, including works of poetry, drama, fiction, and nonfiction. According to Cambridge Dictionary Third Edition, literature is “written artistic works, especially those with a high and lasting artistic value”. Literature does not lead itself to a single definition because the making of it over the century has been as complex and natural as the life itself. Some expert have different opinion on their definitions of literature regarding time and social condition. According to Meyer (1988:1) literature is a term used to describe written texts marked by careful use of language, including features such as creative metaphors, well-turned phrases, elegant syntax, rhyme, alliteration, which are aesthetically read or intended by the author to be aesthetically read 9 and are deliberately somewhat open in interpretation. According to Oxford Learner’s Pocket Dictionary, “literature is writings valued as works of art, esp novels, plays and poems”. Jones (1968:1) states “literature is simply another way we can experience the words around us through our imagination”. By having some definition above, the researcher concludes that literature is a way that can be express creation, feeling, and emotion someone in real life through imagination.

    Family Law Toolkit for Survivors The Domestic Violence & Mental Health Collaboration Project Songs for Surviving the Family Law Process Listening to music is an effective way to distract yourself and to improve your mood. Music has been shown to decrease anxiety and depression. It also decreases the level of cortisol, a stress hormone in your body. Music can be motivational, driving you forward when you feel like giving up. This handout provides a list of songs selected to help you throughout the family law process. They are chosen for many reasons—some songs are motivating, others relaxing, some may just bring a smile to your face. The lyrics of these songs are about surviving and connecting with your inner strength. We chose a range of musical styles, so you can pick the songs that resonate most with you. You may also want to add your own favorites to this list. You can listen when you are feeling stressed, on your way to or from court, or daily as part of your self-care. For additional suggestions about reducing your stress and taking care of yourself throughout this process, check out the Coping Skills handout, speak with a domestic violence advocate (see Domestic Violence Advocacy Resources), or see a mental health service provider (see Mental Health Treatment Resources). “For me, music helps me cope.
