Answer 1

I've chosen “Flowers” by Lauren Spencer-Smith because, although i've never been heartbroken (obviously, im 15 years young), this song is very emotional. The first couple of times I listened to this song I was very close to crying. I may not know firsthand how heartbreak feels, but I look at heartbreak from the outside, from my parents (of which i have no idea who my father is, but i've heard enough stories of him to get emotional myself because of the things he's done to my family, especially to my beloved mother), my mothers relationship with my younger brothers father, my grandparents, to even my aunt and her relationship.

Lyrics:

Took me over to your house to meet your family

Introduce me to them, saying that you'd marry me

Then you'd look me in the eye and say, "It's just a joke"

Then you'd kiss me and I'd smile, did you even know?

When you'd say that kinda thing, I'd be excited

Got me hoping maybe one day you would mean it

Always thought I'd only make a fool of someone else

Now you've only gone and made me make one of myself

I guess that flowers aren't just used for big apologies

I guess I should've been more conscious how you spoke to me

'Cause when we'd fight, you'd give me space and not communicate

And for a while I thought that's what I should appreciate

Maybe I was holding onto what I thought you were

But when you think too hard, eventually it starts to hurt

The version of you in my head, now I know wasn't true

Young people fall for the wrong people, guess my one was you

I was getting any flight so we could make it work

You'd ignore me, coulda told me you were seeing her

Kinda hate myself for justifying your mistakes

Took a minute but I learned that the hard way

Who are you to tell me I can't be heartbroken?

Babe, you had the chance, the door for you was open

If it's what you need to tell yourself to sleep at night

Pretend I haven't found a man who finally treats me right

I guess that flowers aren't just used for big apologies

I guess I should've been more conscious how you spoke to me

'Cause when we'd fight, you'd give me space and not communicate

And for a while I thought that's what I should appreciate

Maybe I was holding onto what I thought you were

But when you think too hard, eventually it starts to hurt

The version of you in my head, now I know wasn't true

Young people fall for the wrong people, guess my one was you

If there's anything I've learned, it's you should watch yourself

If it's hurting you, then leave and go and get some help

This is a very poetic song and full of meanings, metaphors, rhymes and figurative language.

Basically, the song talks about narcissistic people, and going back into a relationship that you knew wouldn't work out, but still leading yourself on and in the end feeling embarrassed and making a fool from yourself, hence the lyric “Always thought I'd only make a fool of someone else, now you've only gone and made me make one of myself”. This song also talks about leaving a toxic relationship, then going into a new relationship and getting treated how anyone deserves to be treated, and young people creating a false reality of someone instead of realizing if they wanted to do something a good partner would do, they would, and if they don't then those two people aren't meant for each other. Also, the relationship being one sided with only one person trying to make sure it works out by doing everything in their power to make the other person happy, meanwhile the other is taking it for granted, and always justifying the other person's mistakes and not understanding your own self worth, hence the lyric “Kinda hate myself for justifying your mistakes, took a minute but I learned that the hard way”. Finally, it also talks about seeking any sort of help if you don't feel comfortable or safe in a relationship and realizing when you need to evacuate your relationship instead of convincing yourself things are normal when things are obviously not.

Answer 2

Write each question a brief reply.

1. Who is the author or songwriter of the poem or song that you have chosen, and who is the performer (if applicable)? Complete all applications. Ask your professor if necessary for guidance.

• Coldplay - Fix you

2. Enter the spirit of the work—that is, in your poem or song, "what happens."

• You sing how he is going to try and restore your fire into you if you are broken

3. Write down your poem or song's theme or central idea behind it.

• Find someone who is hurt to help you

4. List the most prominent images and instances of figurative language in your chosen work Then briefly describe the overall function or effect of each.

• Lights will lead you home
• and set your bones on fire
• Close back

5. Write about how the meter and rhythm of your poem or song affect its mood.

• It's quite slow, but slowly like a pulsating pattern

6. Determine the rhyme scheme of your work, if any, and explain your findings. Then write about what mood or feeling is created by the use of rhyme, including end rhyme and internal rhyme. Last, jot down notes about how the rhyme contributes to your work's meaning.

• There are rhyming final words in the first 3 lines of the Stanzas and the final lines with the next final lines

7. As specifically as possible, jot down two or three graphic elements that might work in your reading guide. Remember that images may include captions.

• Lights will guide
• ignite your bones
• tears streaming down your face

8. Consider your findings for each of your four sections and write a subheading for each. In addition, write a main heading for the entire reading guide.

• underlying idea
• prominent images
• rhyme pattern
• prominent graphics final lines with the next final lines

9. Write a full draft of your reading guide here. Be sure to include the four different sections discussed, at least one graphic element, and a heading and subheadings.

underlying idea:

• If you are hurt find someone to help you

prominent images:

• Lights will guide you home

• And ignite your bones

• Stuck in reverse

rhyme pattern:

It's pretty slow but like a fast, slow pattern. It's slow. The first 3 lines of the stanzas have rhyming last words and the last lines rhyme with the next stanzas the last line.

prominent graphics:

• Lights will guide

• ignite your bones

• tears streaming down your face
