this song is about a guy who cant get a girl out of his head no matter what he does to forget her she is stuck in his head and he cant do anything about it.

ain't no doubt about it
i can't live without it
tried to forget you
but i can't get you outta my head
just when i think you're gone
you come back and turn it on
and just like a simple song
i can't get you outta my head

this song uses imagery because i can picture a guy doing many differet thing just to forget the girl but nothing that he does is working.
this song is about an ex lover that after the relashionship was over he started to ignore the girl and it came to the point were he had his friends go to her house and take his stuff nad then afterwords he even changed his number, this is saying that he didnt have to do that or even go that far and even if his actions did hurt her she sees him as somebody that she used to know.


But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and I feel so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

the affect on this song is imagery because i visualize a girl being sad while her ex lover passes by her and ignores her completely as if they were strangers.
The song The Motto by Drake  is a very catchy song.  Every where I go i always hear someone saying YOLO and sometimes even i say it. This song implies that people need to sometimes stop living day  by day  by the rules , sometimes we need to go out and have fun and forget reality for a second.

You only live once: that’s the motto nigga YOLO
We bout it every day, every day, every day
The intended effect in this song is emotional appeal by the song sayin "YOLO" it has impacted teenagers lives today because teens are getting up doing what they want to do because they dont want to live their lifes saying "I should of done that but i was too scared".

Take care

When Drakes album Take care came out this song was one of my favorite songs. I listened to it so much that I learned the whole song  word by word. This song was one the top songs listened to in my phone. Drake is currently one of my most favorite artist right now. This song reminds me first break ups and first loves.

I know you’ve been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
If you let me, here’s what I’ll do
I’ll take care of you
I’ve loved and I’ve lost


The intended effect in this song is emotional appeal because i listened to it i began to think about my love and how hard it was to let go and move on.  When it was time to move on i was scared that i would get hurt once again but with time i learned that every relationship is different and sometimes you have to get hurt in oder to find the one person you will spend your life with.
I was introduced to this song by one of my closest friend. The name of this sing is who you are by Jessie J. This is song that talks about people that obsess themselves into being perfect and are always finding the most little of erros that only they can see.

I stare at my reflection in the mirror:
"Why am I doing this to myself?"
Losing my mind on a tiny error,
I nearly left the real me on the shelf.
No, no, no, no, no...


The intented effect on this song is imagery when the artist says "I stare at my reflection in the mirror"  i can visualize a girl so insecure staring at herself in the mirror judging herself because she sees imperfections.

I think this song is beautiful when i was smaller i remember listnening to it and trying to sing along . The name of this song is Hero by Enrique Iglesias. At one point in my life Enrique Iglesias was one of my favorite singers.

Would you dance
If I asked you to dance?
Would you run
And never look back?
Would you cry
If you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul, tonight?

Would you tremble
If I touched your lips?
Would you laugh?
Oh please tell me this.
Now would you die
For the one you loved?
Hold me in your arms, tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I would stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.
 
The intended effect is imagery the artist is trying to paint a perfect picture implying that he can be her hero and make everything perfect.
I remember that when the spanish version of stand by me came ouy everyone was listening and singing to eat. This song became my favorite song in tenth grade . I would listen to this song so much that i got my mom singing it as well.

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
-King, Ben

The intended effect in this song is imagery. Their is imagery in the part where it says "if the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall" at first when i read these lyrics i thought about the movie chicken little and the hole scenario of the "sky is falling". What the artist is saying that is that even if the sky is falling and everything is going wrong he wont care just as long as he has someone by his side.

I find myself wanting to give up when situations start to get hard. This year their were many times where I gave up and didnt bother trying anymore but somehow i managed to pick myself back up and start from where I left off. I still feel like giving up by im pushing myself Iknow I can do this.

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
-Edgar A. Guest

This poem shows imagery when it says "when the road you’re trudging seems up hill"the author used this to imply that even when we think that somrthing is imposible we cant give up we have to keep going until we reach the impossible.
Many times I do things without thinking and later I have to suffer the consequences. As teenagers we make mistakes because we dont think before we speak. What we do today will affect us in the long run. The best thing to do is to think everything over before taking action.
Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny
-Frank Outlaw

In this quote their is repetition of "watch your" and "they become" this is to show that everything has an out come it could be good or bad. Its like a cause and effect.
 

I have always looked at my sister as my hero. Shes so strong, life hasnt necessarily treated her right but she always manages to handle everything life throws at her. This Poem makes me wonder what if i walked in my sister’s steps? I know that if i walked in my sisters foot steps i wouldnt be strong like my sister, i wouldnt be able to handle the challenges life gave me.
Every since I was little I use to love my sister shoe
But don't walk in your sister foot steps
I put on my sister shoes and follow her to school
But don't walk in your sister foot steps
I put on my sister blue ekco boots and follow her to the phone booth
And seen her with an unfamiiar crew
Don't walk in your sister foot steps
I put on my sisternew blazzers and follow my sister to the mall
I was standing in the hallway amaze
But don't walk in your sister foot steps!
-valentine white

In this poem the author uses repetition of the sentence "But dont walk in your sister foot steps", by doing this the author is saying that following someone elses foot steps may not be the best thing to do because it can get you in some trouble.
Alot of times I look at something but only see the outside beauty of it i never dig deep inside and see what truly makes it catch my attention. When i go shopping I may buy something because when I first see it I like it but then when it comes to the day that I want to wear it I dont like it no more. The poem made me think that most of the times we all just notice apperances and never look pass it.

Beauty is only skin deep. If you go after someone just because she's beautiful but don't have anything to talk about, it's going to get boring fast. You want to look beyond the surface and see if you can have fun.
    -Amanda peet



The intended effect of this quote is to show the definition of beauty. The author is saying that beauty doesnt mean anything without a good personality . Anybody can have beauty and its easy to find but its not easy finding a personality that matches yours.
As I was growing up my dad was always working so i never had the chance to spend some time with him. This poem made me think about when i was a child and how i always wished that my dad was home so that i can spend time with him.

When I scratched my knee,
Or if I bumped my head,.
When I was afraid of the dark,
Or that thing under my bed,
When I cried in the night,
Or even in the day,.
You were there for me,
To make it all okay.

You tickled my feet,
And laughed at all my jokes.
You taught me to believe,
In having high hopes.
You are my father
You did what you had to do.
But more than a father
You are my friend too.
You made everything good,
That was once bad.
I just want you to know
I love you Dad.
-Jennifer S. Williams

In this poem the author uses repetion of the words "when I" the author uses this to show that how importang her father is to her because he was always their for her to make her feel better.
A few years ago when my sister was still living in my house i remember that she would always talk to me and she will always gives me words of wisdom. Ofcourse because shes older then me i would always listen to her. When i read the following quote by Andre Gide it reminded me of something my sister use to always tell me when i was younger. "Theirs always going to be someone that doesnt like you, you dont have to pretend to be something your not just so that person would like you".

"It is better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not."
André Gide

The intended effect in this quote is symbolism the author uses the words hated and loved in the same sentence this is symbolizing that sometimes its best to do the opposite and not care what wether people are going to hate you or love you for what you do.
The song send it on by Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus is a very inspiring song. It makes me want to get up and help people because by doing one thing it can make a difference in someone life and it will make yourself feel better. Many artist came together to sing this song and give a message to try to get other people to help the environment or people around us.
 
Send It on, On and On,
Just one that can heal another,
Be apart, reach a heart,
Just one spark starts a fire!
With one little action
The chain reaction will never stop!
Make it strong,
Shine a light and send it on!
Send It On!

The intended effect in this song is emotional appeal. Emotional appeal is seen in the part where it says "Be a part, reach a heart" in this part the artists are trying to grab the listeners attention and tell them that they should be a part of helping and environment so they can save it because one thing can make a chain reaction.
Nobody is perfect. So why struggle trying to be perfect, when you should just have fun and be yourself. We all have something that makes us different and unique. Its not good to spend our life scared of what might happen its good to experiment instead of saying "what if?". I think that the following quote from Marylin Monroe shows us that we shouldbe ourself and have funny, be silly and stop being afraid of what others might think

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."
Marilyn Monroe, Marilyn
The intended effect in this quote is connotation when the author uses the worod imperfection she is really meaning the opposite which is beauty. The author is implying that what we think is imperfection is actualky beauty because thats what makes us unique.

Favorite Catoon from my Childhood

When I was young one of my favorite cartoons was "Callou" I would wake up in the mornig and quickly turn the tv on to watch this cartoon. As I grew up I eventually stop watching it but about 2 years ago when my nephews began to watch tv i found myself watching Callou with them, callou also became their favorite cartoon. Everytime I hear the theme song it brings back childhood memories.

I'm just a kid who's four,
Each day I grow some more!
I like exploring, I'm Caillou

SO many things to do,
Each day there's something new
I'll share them with you
I'm Caillou

My world is turning, changing each day!
With mommy and daddy and finding my way-

Growing up is not so tough
Except when I've had enough
But there's lots of fun stuff
I'm Caillou, Caillou, Caillou...
(And me, and me, and me!)
The intended effect in this song is imagery because the author is giving the image of a childhood. The song says "im just a kidd who's four each day I grow some more" when a child is small he always gets excited because they are growing and they begin to explore and discover new things making a child thing their a "big boy" or a "big girl".
In my life ive had my ups and downs and im sure everyone else also has had ups and downs. I have come to realize that everything does happen for a reason, and that everything that happens today is gonna affect us in a positive or negative way in the future.The following quote has made me realise and that i should apreciate the life that i have today.
"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
Marilyn Monroe

In this quote Marilyn Monroe intended emotional appeal by using word phrases that everyone can relate to somehow. When she says "people change so you can let go" anyone can relate to it because we all ave someone that we know and has changed alot and eventually we have to let go.

We all have a person in our life that has been their for us through thick and thin, perhaps its a bestfriend a sister, brother, cousin. The song true friend by Hannah Montana reminds me of the one person that has always been their for me in the good and the bad times, my bestfriend.
             True Friend
We sign our cards and letters BFF
You've got a million ways to make me laugh
You're lookin' out for me, you've got my back
So good to have you around

You know the secrets I could never tell
And when I'm quiet you break through my shell
Don't feel the need to do a rebel yell
'Cause you keep my feet on the ground


Throughout the song their is imagery when the artist says "we sign our cards and letters BFF" in this particular part you can actually picture two bestfriends writting to eachoother and at the end signing it as "bestfriend". Throughout this song you can picture two bestfriends doing everything together and caring about eachother so much.

Climax

Many times in a relationship everything begins to go wrong and it starts rising up reaching to the climax where its better to get away from the person to keep yourself from hurting. The song climax by Usher makes me think of this as I listen to it.

Going nowhere fast
We've reached the climax Were together,now we're undone
Won't commit so we choose to Run away, do we separate
 Don't wanna give in So we both gave up
Can't take it back It's too late we've reached the climax, climax


In this song the artist Usher  repeats the word Climax to show that their are turning points in relationships. A person can only take so much and when it reaches to the climax from their on everything goes down fall.

Life is never easy and never will be easy. Their is always going to be a time or should i say several times in our life where everything is going to go down fall. This doesnt mean we are never going to have happy moments in our life. We always have to pick ourselves back up.

A short Poem about Life
Life is a gift
life can be cruel
life can be kind
life can be hard
life can be tough.
life is mysterious
life is strange
life is complex
life is weird.
life has twists
life has turns
life has ups
life has downs.
life for good
life for bad
life for war
life for peace.
life and love
life and hate
life and growth
life and death.
Kevin Halls
 
In this poem the author Kevin Halls uses the repetition of the words life is, life can, and life has to show the meaning of life. Kevin Hall is saying that although we are all diferent, life treats us all the same.
